Serves 4

Ingredients
8 chicken wings, skin on or off to preference
8 chicken drumsticks, skin on or off to preference
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp sriracha (or other chilli sauce)
3 tbsp runny honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp salt

For the Coleslaw
2 carrots, peeled and grated
½ white cabbage, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 red onion, halved and sliced
2 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tsp wholegrain mustard

Egg Fried Rice
1 cup basmati rice
Handful spring onions, roughly chopped
1 tbsp oil
4 eggs
Pinch salt & black pepper
1 tsp soy sauce

Method
– Make a couple of slits in the meaty part of the chicken drumsticks. Transfer to a bowl.

– Cut the chicken wings in half and trim any excess skin or gristle off. Transfer to another bowl

– Add the garlic to a third bowl. Add the chilli sauce, honey, oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and salt to the garlic and mix.

– Drizzle the marinade over the chicken in each bowl and mix through by hand to ensure all of the chicken is well coated.

– Leave to marinade for as long as possible (at least 3 hours).

– Place the chicken pieces on a foil-covered baking tray. Place in an oven preheated to 180°c and cook for 20-25 minutes. After 25 minutes, turn the chicken drumsticks over and pour a little more of the marinade over each piece. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C and cook for another 25-30 minutes.

– Leave the leftover marinade in the bowls for now.

– While the chicken is cooking, prepare the side dishes.

– Add rice to a pan of boiling water and cook until grains squish down easily.

– Mix the vegetables, mayonnaise, yoghurt and mustard together in a bowl.

– Drain the rice and leave for 5 minutes.

– Add the spring onions into a pan with the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes

– Break eggs into a bowl, add the salt and pepper and whisk lightly. Add the eggs to the spring onions in the pan and leave for a few seconds before lightly stirring through and repeating until the egg has cooked through.

– Add the soy sauce and mix through. Add the cooked rice to the pan and mix through.

– Sprinkle salt over to taste and plate up.

Remove the chicken from the oven and serve with the cooled rice and coleslaw.
