From your kitchen:
- Oil (cooking, olive or coconut)

- Water
- Paper Towel
- Butter (optional)
PUMP UP THE JAM
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine the apricot jam, the soy sauce, the grated garlic, the rub, and a splash of water. Halve the avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Scoop out the avocado flesh and roughly dice. Place in a salad bowl.
TASTY ‘TATOES
Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water over high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and soft. Remove from the heat, drain, and return to the pot. Add ½ the chopped coriander, ½ the sesame seeds, a drizzle of oil or knob of butter, and seasoning. Pop on the lid, and shake the pot until the potatoes are coated in the butter or oil.
BEANS & GREENS
Boil the kettle. Place the edamame beans in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until plumped up. Drain and place in the bowl with the avo. Just before serving, add the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined.
WEBER BRAAI OPTION
Once the coals on the Weber are ready and your grid is cleaned down, place the marinated chicken wings (reserving the excess marinade in the bowl) over a medium hot area of the Weber. Braai for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and crisping up. Every 5 minutes, baste the wings in the reserved marinade and flip.
STOVE-TOP OPTION
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chicken wings (reserving the excess marinade in the bowl) and fry for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through and crisping up, shifting occasionally. In the final 2-4 minutes, baste the wings with the reserved sticky apricot sauce.
‘NCA!
