TAMARIND CONCENTRATE

Tangy Tamarind Glazed Chicken Wings

These wings offer a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy, creating a sticky, caramelized glaze that is irresistible.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken wings

• 1 tbsp oil

• 1/2 cup Real Hanif's Tamarind Concentrate

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• 1-2 cloves minced garlic

• 1 tsp grated ginger

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (or more for heat)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the wings dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes, or until the wings are mostly cooked and the skin is starting to crisp.

3. Make the Glaze: While the wings bake, whisk together the oil, tamarind concentrate, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the glaze has thickened slightly.

4. Glaze and Finish: Remove the wings from the oven. Brush them liberally with the tamarind glaze. Return them to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped cilantro if desired.
