Method

To start this chicken wing recipe (opens in new tab) mix all the marinade ingredients together with a pestle and mortar, or in a blender, until fairly smooth.
Rub the marinade over the chicken wings, cover and leave in a cool place for 2 hours, or overnight is fine.
Heat a griddle pan, or set the grill to medium with the rack about 15cm (6in) from heat.
Thread the wings on to long skewers and griddle or grill for 10-12 mins until browned. Alternatively, fry the wings in a little oil until browned, then roast at Gas Mark 6 or 200°C for 10-15 mins.
Tip any remaining marinade into a small pan with the honey, and heat through. Brush the hot chicken wings with this glaze. Serve with salsa or a dip, rice, salad and lime wedges.
