Take your wings game up a notch with the addition of papaya. Just one serving (150g) of papaya and papaw provides a healthy dose of folate, fibre, vitamin C and vitamin A, which helps keep your immune system, gut health and skin in-check, so they're the perfect addition to your weekly shopping trolley. - Australian Papaya

Ingredients

2 kg chicken wings
2 tsp olive oil
1 cup papaya pureed
1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp ginger grated
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 handful coriander leaves *to garnish
1 cup papaya chopped *to garnish
8 lime wedges *to garnish

Method

Step 1

Cut chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes, discard tips (or buy wings which have already been split into sections). Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add wing sections and toss to coat.
Step 2

Set wings aside for 30 minutes to marinate. Preheat oven to 200C. Line two rimmed oven trays with baking paper. Remove wings from bowl, reserving marinade, and arrange in a single layer – skin side up – over the prepared trays.
Step 3

Bake 25-30 minutes, basting with the remaining marinade twice during cooking. The wings are done when they are sticky and golden, and the meat separates easily when pulled.
Step 4

Serve with coriander leaves, fresh papaya, and citrus wedges.
