Tandoori Chicken Wings with Fresh Herb and Ginger Relish

Wings of any kind are always popular in my house. This three-ingredient version rates very highly and I never seem to cook enough.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

16 chicken wings, tips cut off
1/3 cup tandoori curry paste (see Cook’s note)
2 tablespoons coconut cream
1/3 cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped
Sea salt

Fresh Herb and Ginger Relish
¾ cup mint leaves
¾ cup coriander including tender stems, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 long green chilli deseeded, chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt

METHOD

Equipment: Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Preheat the oven to 160ºC fan bake.

Combine the tandoori paste, coconut cream and chopped peanuts in a large bowl. Add the wings and turn to coat.

Place on the prepared baking tray and season with salt. Roast for 40 minutes until golden and fully cooked through.

To serve: Arrange the wings on a platter and serve with the Fresh Herb Relish.

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, or blitz with a hand-held stick blender. 

Cook’s note: My tandoori paste was quite soft. If using a firm paste, add another tablespoon of coconut cream so it will easily coat the wings.
