ASIAN CARAMEL CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Put the sugar in a medium sauté pan with enough water to make it go sludgy. Place on a low heat and bring to the boil, then cook until you have a dark amber caramel (see tip, below).
• At arms length, add the other ingredients, except for the chicken and garnish, and bring to a simmer - take care as it will spit.

Turn off the heat and quickly stir through half the spring onion, ginger and chilli. Tip the wings and sauce onto a platter. Scatter with the remaining garnish and coriander, and serve with extra lime and rice.
