PENSIONERS/CROWDS DELIGHTS: CHICKEN WINGS WITH CHILLI LIME HOISIN SAUCE

Chilli Lime Hoisin Wings are a winner whether in fiery or mild options, cooked for a pensioners lunch or crowds...

Pensioners' Delight: Chilli Lime Hoisin Wings with rice fried with peppers, peas & leftover marinade plus crispy kale.  'Not too spicy; tender; beautiful.'

                

A simple, easy but delicious dish, Chilli Lime Hoisin Wings are perfect for a light lunch (as pictured) OR a brilliant crowd pleaser.

Whichever option is chosen, the chicken wings are a mouthwatering budget food, and the marinade guarantees tender, juicy meat.

A packet of 10 higher-welfare wings still costs only £1.45'sh at M&S (4/23) & Waitrose; less elsewhere. That'll make two meals for a pair of Pensioners.  

For an event, 67 would turn one packet into quite hot wings for thrill-seeking adults,  and tanother packet  into something less spicy for kids and chilli-phobes.

Cost:  5 wings £1'ish; 20 wings £4.50'ish (2023)

Serves: 1-2 OR a crowd

Garnish: chopped parsley, chives, celery leaves or thinly sliced radish
