3. Crunchy buttermilk chicken wings
These wings will really benefit from an overnight soak in the buttermilk marinade. The buttermilk is a little tangy and will help keep the wings juicy on the inside while the breadcrumbs crunch up nicely on the outside. We’re feeling the craving already!

5. Tandoori chicken wings with raita
The yoghurt in this marinade helps to keep the wings tender and succulent on the inside. Tandoori spices bring the heat, while the creamy raita dipping sauce will keep you cool. We love these on a braai over hot coals – it really adds a fantastic smokey flavour.
