Cook's notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.

Instructions

Serves 4 as part of a mezza spread

Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange wings in a single layer on an oven tray, drizzle over oil and scatter with 1½ tsp salt. Roast for 45 minutes or until crispy and golden.

Just before wings are ready, make the sauce. Heat a large frying pan over low heat, add coriander, garlic and oil, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add lemon juice and remove from heat. Remove wings from oven, add to frying pan and toss until completely coated in sauce, then serve.
