San Francisco Chicken Wings

San Francisco Chicken Wings are a vibrant fusion of East-meets-West flavours, coated in a sticky glaze of orange juice, soy sauce, sherry and aromatic spices. The wings are roasted until tender and caramelised, with ginger, garlic, and star anise adding depth and fragrance. Perfectly balanced between sweet, savoury, and tangy, they’re a crowd-pleasing dish that works just as well for parties as for family dinners.
