Spicy Fried Chicken Wings With Mango Chutney

The very best dish for sharing. Unexpected friends on the doorstep? Football on TV? It’ll take a matter of minutes to get a tray of wings in the oven. Serve with my quick chutney or stir some chopped red onion into a pot of yoghurt for an even quicker dip. The chutney also does very nicely in a Cheddar-cheese sandwich. from The Best BBC show

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 12  large chicken wings
• 4  tablespoons plain white flour
• 3  teaspoons  cajun seasoning
• 2  teaspoons  smoked paprika
• 1  teaspoon table salt

• chutney ingredients

• 1  large mango
• 1  shallot, finely chopped
• 3  tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3  tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
• 1  star anise

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Using a strong pair of scissors, snip the tip off each wing.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, Cajun seasoning, paprika and salt. Toss the wings in the seasoned flour and arrange on a wire rack. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25 - 30 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
3. To make the chutney, holding the mango firmly on a board, slice down either side of the central stone to remove the ‘cheeks’. Using a large spoon, scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Roughly dice the flesh and remove and dice any flesh still clinging to the stone.
4. Place in a pan with the shallot, vinegar, sugar, salt and spices. Cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with the chicken wings.
