How to make Chilli Chicken Wings

1. Prepare the sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly to blend the flavours, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Puree in a food processor until nearly smooth. (Makes 725ml .) Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

3. Using a sharp knife, separate the chicken wings at the joint. Set aside.

4. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and toss well with 350ml the sauce. Lay the chicken wings in a single layer on 2 or 3 baking sheets (do not overcrowd them). Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, basting once or twice with additional sauce. Place the wings on a platter, sprinkle with coriander and serve.
