Ingredients:

  • 1 x pack chicken wings
  • 50g cornflour
  • 50g flour
  • 1 tsp (5ml) smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) cumin
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) harissa paste
  • 3 Tbsp (45ml) sriracha
  • 3 Tbsp (45ml) honey
  • salt and pepper
For the dressing:
  • 100ml tahini
  • 2 Tbsp (30ml) lemon juice

  • hot water
For garnish:

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Combine the cornflour, flour, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Toss the chicken wings through the flour mix until they’re evenly coated.
  • Lightly oil a large baking tray.
  • Dust excess flour off the wings and place them on the tray, spacing them out evenly.
  • Roast the wings in the oven for 45 minutes, or until they are crispy.
  • Heat the harissa, sriracha, and honey in a pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of water to loosen it.
  • Toss the wings through the sauce. Place them back on the baking tray and roast for a further 10-15 minutes.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of water to loosen it up. Season to taste.
  • Serve the wings hot, garnished with sesame seeds. And don’t forget to serve your tahini dressing on the side.
