Let's Cook

Step 1.
In a large bowl, combine 4 tbsp date syrup, 2 tbsp black treacle/molasses, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 peeled and grated 5cm piece of fresh ginger, 1 tsp garam masala, 2 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp black mustard seeds, 4 tsp dark rum, juice of ½ lemon, 2 tbsp white wine vinegar, and 1 tsp salt. Whisk until well blended.

Step 2.
Add 1kg/2lb 3oz chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Step 3.
Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on a large roasting pan, spacing them apart. Roast for 40–45 minutes, turning the wings once halfway through, until they are cooked through, golden brown, and sticky. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
