Sauce was so sweet it was inedible. Terrible recipe and a waste of ingredients that are not easy to come by here.

WHAT a recipe! I can honestly say that this is one my favourite recipes on here, definitely the best chicken wing recipe! I love wings in OK from our local chinese, but this version rivals it well. First of all the sauce, so tasty I could have it with almost anything. And the wings are lovely and tender and not too greasy. <br/>I didn't know what you meant by "green capsicum"; chilli? bell? sweet? So I ignored it and just added some chilli flakes to the sauce to add a bit of flare. <br/>Overall a fantastic recipe that I will be repeating over and over!
