For the chicken

• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
• small piece ginger, grated

Directions

Method

• STEP 1

  To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until syrupy, so around 3-4 mins. Take off the heat and set aside.

• STEP 2

  Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper and the grated ginger. Toss the chicken with the cornflour until completely coated.

• STEP 3

  Heat about 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium/high heat. Fry the chicken wings for 8-10 mins until crisp, turning halfway. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper. Leave to cool slightly (around 2 mins).

• STEP 4

  Reheat the sauce, and toss the crispy chicken wings in it. Tip into a bowl and top with the sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
