Ingredients:
1.8kg chicken wings (about 22)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, minced
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp West African seasonings
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp dried rosemary
12 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tsp hot water
For the Dipping Sauce:
80g natural peanut butter
60ml coconut cream
2 garlic cloves, chopped
60ml water
40g red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/8 tsp dried hot chilli flakes
1 tsp soy sauce
Method:
Begin with the chicken wings. Combine the peanut butter and water until smooth then whisk in the vegetable oil. Add all the remaining ingredients (except the chicken) and whisk until smooth. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and pour the sauce over the top. Toss to combine, ensuring the wings are completely coated then cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to marinate.
After this time either cook the wings on a barbecue or arrange on a foil-lined wire rack set in a roasting tin. Place in the upper third of an oven pre-heated to 210°C and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden. If there is any marinade left over use to brush the wings half way through.
In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a blender and blitz until smooth. Place the dipping sauce in a bowl. Set this in the centre of a large serving bowl or serving tray and arrange the wings around it. Serve hot.
