Oven-baked citrus-glazed chicken wings with a spicy yogurt avocado sauce

Ingredients:

Wings

• 2 kg chicken wings, cut at the joint (discard the tips)
• 0.5 cup pineapple jam
• 2 tsp finely grated ginger root
• Juice of 2 limes
• Juice of 2 oranges
• A pinch of cayenne pepper
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Vegetable oil to grease the baking sheets

Dip sauce

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 avocado, cut in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh into a bowl
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
• Juice of 2 limes

Preparation:

1. Spicy yogurt sauce with avocado:
   
   Combine yogurt, avocado, jalapeño, lime juice, 2 cups water, and 3/4 cup salt in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Preheat oven to 220°C. Generously grease 2 rimmed baking sheets with vegetable oil.
3. Toss the wings with 2 teaspoons of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and arrange them in a single layer on 2 prepared baking sheets. Bake until very crisp, about 55 minutes.
4. While the wings are baking, combine the pineapple jam, ginger, lime juice, orange juice, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer until the liquid becomes thick and syrupy, coating the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
5. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl and toss them with the citrus glaze and green onions. Serve with the dipping sauce.
