Sticky Chicken Wings

I bought Bill Granger's "Holiday" cookbook quite a few months ago. I have browsed it on a number of occasions, mentally filing away recipes to try out. And there have been many that have been filed away in the deep recesses of my mind. But I came across an advertisement for his new book in one of the cooking magazines this month and decided that it was about time I tried out a few from his last book and did a little review. I wanted an easy lunch recipe on a lazy Sunday that would not require much cooking on my part, dealing with two sick kids was draining enough. I settled for a simple looking sweet, sticky chicken recipe. So out came the kilo of chicken wings from the fridge that I cut up into manageable pieces for easy eating. I marinated the chicken and rested it for about 15 minutes before shoving it in the oven to bake for 30 minutes. I made a nice Butter Bean And Spinach salad to go with it but more about that later.
