Petunjuk

1 First make the garlic and chive dip. Slice the chives thinly and finely chop or crush the garlic. Mix the chives and garlic into the mayonnaise in a small bowl and set aside until needed.

2 Preheat the oven to 2000C/1800C fan/gas mark 6.

3 Season the chicken wings with the salt and thyme leaves. Now sprinkle the wings with the oil. Give them a good mix with clean hands and place on a baking tray. Roast the wings for 25 minutes.

4 While the wings are cooking, make the sauce. Place the whole bottle of hot sauce in a wide saucepan. Add the white wine vinegar, bourbon and butter and then allow to simmer until the sauce becomes sticky and reduces to a nice syrup consistency.

5 After 25 minutes remove the wings from the oven and dunk them into the sauce. Return them to the oven for another five minutes and then dunk them again to get them extra sticky. Place them into the oven for a further five minutes and then they are ready. Spoon them into a dish, place the dip on one side, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, chilli and spring onions and tuck in.
