Jess and Jo say, "There is nothing like a Supermalt – this sensational malty, non-alcoholic drink has earned its rightful place in the high ranks of all great Nigerian households. Its combined sweetness and maltiness is the reason for its firm place at every Nigerian social gathering. Nigerian culture is so diverse and, when we cater, we seek to cater to all; this showstopper dish is bound to have everybody from all walks of life wanting more. These wings were inspired by our mama (grandma), as Supermalt was one of her favourite drinks – we would dance around the kitchen from the age of nine until well into our early twenties, cooking up a storm and always drinking Supermalt. If you are not a fan of heat you can leave out the scotch bonnet."

Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the chicken wings with the oil, stock powder, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and 1 tbsp of salt, making sure the wings are evenly coated.

  • step 2

    Arrange on a baking sheet lined with foil, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

  • step 3

    Bake for 45-50 mins, flipping them halfway, until the wings are golden brown and crispy all over.

  • step 4

    For the glaze, combine the honey, chilli, Supermalt and garlic in a small pan over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and continue simmering for 5-7 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly – it should have a glossy shine.

  • step 5

    Once the wings are cooked, put them in a large, clean bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss them until evenly coated. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions, if you like, and serve the wings hot.
