Honey Mustard Lemon Chicken wings

Found this recipe via google: https://greedygirl.wordpress.com/2011/01/16/nigels-sweet-n-sticky-chicken-wings/ But it's original from a Nigel Slater cookbook which we have. 

Very nice. Tasty but not too sweet. 

12 chicken wings

2 big tablespoons of grain mustard

1 big tablespoon of honey

Juice of 1 or 2 lemon 

2 large garlic cloves – crushed

Combine all the ingredients and coat the wings. Marinate for 1-2 hours (Nigel says just cook).

Put wings and excess marinade in a roasting pan. 

Bake for 40 mins at 180-200C. Turn over.  Bake for another 10 minutes, until golden and crunchy looking.


Yogurt sauce for Shawarma

 From Thomasina Miers in the Guardian: 

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jun/29/chicken-shawarma-salad-with-tahini-dressing-recipe

1 garlic clove crushed 
20g tahini
Yogurt 
generous spoonful of  honey
100ml extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
 flaky sea salt

Combine crushed garlic, yogurt, tahini, and honey in a small blender or food processor and mix well. 

Add  olive oil and lemon juice. Taste and stir in sea salt/ sprinkle it on top.

For the actual Shawarma, I prefer Nagi's recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-sharwama-middle-eastern/ but baked in the oven.
