Give Your Chicken Wings That “oomph”
Chicken wings are a great family recipe – they’re easy to make, quickly done and delicious, and let’s be honest, what child isn’t happy to be served food he or she is supposed to eat with her fingers? My son loves this chicken-wing recipe so much that I named it after him. The marinade is a perfect balance of slightly spicy and sweet with a touch of spice.
By making your own chicken wings, using this recipe, you get all the delicious taste without the additives. In addition, baking your chicken wings is much healthier than frying them.
Ingredients
• 550g chicken wings
For the marinade
• 1 cup tomato ketchup
• ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon mixed herbs

Directions
