Submitted by Kana K.

"From Sam Choy's "Island Flavors" The Macadamia nut crust keeps the chicken moist and adds a rich nutty flavor. You can also use the crust for fish."

Delicious flavour - I scaled recipe for 2 serves (10 wings) though used 9 V wings (already had tip cut off) which weighed just under 1K (2lb) but had to use double the amount of flour, egg and crumb mixture to coat them all and then I put on an oil sprayed wire rack (after refrigerating for an hour) and then gave the wings a light spray with the oil and baked at 175C fan forced for 45 minutes and end result was crunchy and very flavoursome wings, thank you Kana Kahuna, made for Name that Ingredient tag game.
