These wings get their flavour from resting overnight in an Asian-style marinade before they're baked to perfection.
Served with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and coriander they make a fabulous snack or main dish alongside a crisp green salad and blue cheese dressing or creme fraiche.
Chicken wings are widely available and inexpensive, or you can use chicken thighs or drum sticks.
Glazed chicken wings with honey and soya sauce
Serves 6
Marinade
30ml sesame oil
100ml light soy sauce
100g clear honey
110ml orange juice
80g soft brown sugar
1tsp five-spice powder
1.8kg chicken wings
Garnish
1tbsp freshly chopped coriander leaves
1tsp sesame seeds
In a large bowl, whisk the ingredients for the marinade together then add the chicken wings, coating the meat evenly. Leave to marinate overnight.
Set the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Place the wings and marinade in a roasting tray, making sure the wings are evenly spread and covered, then roast them in the oven for approximately 1 hour, stirring the wings every 10 minutes or so to ensure they cook evenly.
The juices and marinade in the pan will reduce a little during the cooking process, but if the wings are cooked but not sticky after 1 hour carefully pour the liquid into a pan and boil until syrupy.
Remove the wings from the oven and pour the reduced sauce over them. Sprinkle the coriander and sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
