These wings are coated in a deliciously sweet and tangy marinade, cooked to perfection until sticky and golden, and served with a creamy avocado ranch sauce that will have your taste buds dancing.
To make these mouthwatering wings, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the marinade:
– 24 chicken wings
– 250 ml (1 cup) BBQ sauce
– 30 ml (2 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
– 60 ml (4 tbsp) brown sugar
– 60 ml (4 tbsp) honey
– 60 ml (4 tbsp) soy sauce
For the avocado ranch dressing:
– 1 ripe avocado, peeled and stoned
– 100 ml (about 6 tbsp) apple cider vinegar
– 60 ml (4 tbsp) maple syrup or brown sugar
– 100 ml (about ½ cup) lemon juice
– 100 ml (about ½ cup) avocado or olive oil
– 2-4 cloves garlic
– 2-4 spring onions, white part only (and extra for garnish)
– Pinch of salt
To prepare the wings, whisk together the BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, honey, and soy sauce in a jug. Place the chicken in a shallow dish, pour over the marinade, and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, but preferably for 2 hours. Cook the wings on a braai or in the oven at 200°C until golden and sticky, about 25-30 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, make the avocado ranch dressing by blending all the dressing ingredients until smooth. Thin down the dressing with a little cold water if a pouring consistency is desired, then transfer to a jar and seal until needed. Serve the chicken wings with the dressing and garnish with sliced spring onion for an extra burst of flavor.
This recipe is a perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors that will elevate any braai or weekend meal. So why not give it a try and spice up your next gathering with these delicious sticky BBQ chicken wings with avocado ranch dipping sauce?
