Chilli & Lemongrass Chicken Wings
The smell of these wings cooking is sure to get your family and friends excited for dinner. They are super easy, great if you are on a budget and heaps of fun to eat!
Let’s talk about the marinade, it is a little sweet, a bit sour, a wee spicy and packed with a whole lot of flavour. The star of this marinade is definitely the Maleny Cuisine chilli jam! It gives this marinade its stickiness and a punch of flavour. And, bonus, it is made from fresh ingredients and no nasties like many store bought marinades.
Team these delicious wings with some veggies or salad for dinner or serve as a finger food. But if chicken is not your thing, this marinade is great on tofu or tempeh!
