This recipe came about when I was craving something bold and different for a weeknight dinner, and honestly, it's become my go to when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The magic happens when sweet caramel meets umami rich miso, creating this addictive glaze that transforms simple chicken wings into something restaurant worthy. What I love most is how quickly it comes together, ready in under an hour from start to table. The miso brings fantastic gut friendly probiotics while adding incredible depth of flavour, and the custard powder creates that wonderfully crunchy coating you won't believe is so simple. Give it a try and you'll see why it's become my secret weapon for easy entertaining.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7 and line a large oven tray with baking parchment. Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper. Combine the garlic granules, custard powder and a large pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix well, then add the chicken and toss well until thoroughly coated.
2
Arrange the wings in one layer on the prepared tray, shaking off any excess powder. Cook for 40 minutes, until thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear and there is no pink meat.
3
Meanwhile, mix the sugar with 2 tbsp cold water in a small saucepan. Cook over a low heat until the sugar dissolves, then bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes more, until it turns amber. Remove from the heat and whisk in the miso and lime juice until smooth. Add the white and black sesame seeds.
4
Pour the caramel custard over the cooked wings, then return to the oven for 3-5 minutes more until shiny. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then serve topped with chilli, salad onion and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

This is one of my favourite ways to use up a jar of chocolate sauce and create something that tastes far more impressive than it actually is. The magic happens when dark chocolate meets a hint of smoky chilli and the irresistible crunch of salted pretzels, all wrapped up in a simple sponge. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants, so you can feel a little virtuous with each bite. What I love most is that this comes together in just 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes in the oven, making it perfect for when friends drop by unexpectedly. It's basically a one bowl wonder that never fails to impress.
