For a spicy kick, add a few drops of Tabasco sauce to the avocado mixture. We recommend using a non-stick roasting pan, or lining pan with baking paper, to stop chicken and sauce from sticking.

Ingredients

1.5kg chicken wings

1 tsp garlic salt

1 large ripe avocado, peeled, deseeded

1⁄4 cup sour cream

2 tsps lemon juice

SAUCE

1⁄4 cup honey

1⁄4 cup lemon juice

Method

To make sauce, combine all ingredients in a jug. Mix well.

Place chicken in a single layer in an oiled, large, non-stick roasting pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt.

Cook in a hot oven (200C) for 30 minutes. Remove. Pour sauce over chicken. Toss to coat. Return to oven. Cook, turning halfway through, for a further 15 minutes, or until cooked.

Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl until smooth. Stir in sour cream and juice. Season.

Serve chicken wings with avocado mixture.
