    This wine-coloured ground spice is one of the most useful but least known and most…

  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 dates, stoned
  • 2 red chillies, deseeded, plus 1 thinly sliced to serve
  • 150g light brown soft sugar
  • 150ml red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Tip the chicken wings into a large bowl and toss with the cumin, sumac, flour and plenty of seasoning. Spread out over a large baking tray, drizzle with oil and cook for 35 mins, turning halfway through cooking.

  2. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Put the dates, chillis, sugar and vinegar in a food processor with 100ml water and blitz. Pour into a saucepan and bubble for 5 mins until thick and glossy.

  3. Brush the glaze over the chicken wings, making sure they’re well coated, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Return to the oven for 10 mins more, turning and brushing after 5 mins until sticky.

Delicious. Swapped dates for apricots as I didn't have any dates. I'll make this again.

globally over 40 billion chickens are killed every year, and 99% of these unfortunate souls are factory farmed. the average cage measures 67sq inches, that's smaller than a sheet of a4 paper, which is 96sq inches! 1kg of chicken wings (as used in this recipe) is approx. 11 wings, that's 5.5 chickens unless you believe those rumours about the 6 legged and 6 winged centipede/chicken hybrids! the average Brit consumes 2,400 chickens and 13,000 eggs over their lifetime. by buying these products you support the institutionalised cruelty of these industries.
