    Method

    • step 1

      Mix all the ingredients except the chicken, coriander & soured cream in a bowl, pressing the marmalade with the back of a spoon to break it down. Put the chicken wings into this & turn them all over with your hands, making sure they get well coated.
    • step 2

      Cover & marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours. Bring to room temperature before cooking. When you’re ready to cook, preheat the oven to 210C / 410F / gas mark 6½.
    • step 3

      Lay the chicken wings in a single layer in a couple of roasting tins (if you put them on top of each other, they will sweat rather than brown).Cook in the hot oven for 40 mins, turning them over halfway through. If they are getting too dark in colour (because of the sugars burning), cover with foil.
    • step 4

      Sprinkle with coriander & serve on a big platter with a plain green salad, or an avocado & leaf salad, & rice. Lime wedges – chargrilled or fresh – look great on the platter, too.Offer little bowls of soured cream, or Greek yoghurt to temper the heat.
