    I was only interested in the chicken for a casual group supper. What can I say except absolutely finger lickin' sensational!

    Was excited about this recipe given the positive reviews but we were not impressed with the results ... one ruined roasting dish and a rather salty dinner.

    I didn't like this recipe at all. I halved the recipe as I was only serving for two and wasn't impressed. Despite me doing everything to the letter, they were fairly standard. It could well have been the quality of the chicken wings which is why I have rated 3 star. Even so, I didn't really like the coating anyway. Sorry!

    Yum! Yum! Yum! The best sticky glazed chicken ever (according to my husband). I cooked mine for 20 mins, then basted, then basted every 10mins after that - for a total cooking time of 50mins. Loved by my 6 year old - forget the rice and cucumber - this is perfect finger food - sure to become a favourite for parties!
