• FOR THE WINGS
• 3 tablespoons Kikkoman's soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sake/dry sherry
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons caster sugar
• 3 tablespoons yuzu zest (I used freeze dried - great if you can get fresh)
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• Mix of 1 tablespoon cornflour & 2 tablespoons water
• 5 wings, mine were tipless (I cut into flats and drumettes, making 10 pieces)
• FOR THE YUZUKOSHO
• 3 red bird's eyes chillies,deseeded and roughly chopped with kitchen scissors
• 2 tablespoons (freeze-dried) yuzu zest
• 1 teapsoon maldon/sea salt
• FOR THE JAPANESE MAYO
• 3 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons hellmans mayonaise
• 1 tablespoon thick greek/turkish yogurt
• 1 teaspoon mirin
• Salt & pepper to taste/garnish

1. FOR THE WINGS, combine the soy sauce, sake/dry sherry, mirin, sugar, yuzu zest, ginger and chicken stock in a pan. Bring to the boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Then in the last minute, add cornflour mixture, let cook for a minute then take off heat. Allow to cool completely.
2. While the marinade is cooling, gently poke the wings with the tip of a sharp knife, making little slits so the marinade can find nooks to hide itself.
3. Once marinade is cold, pour in a large bowl and add chicken. using a spoon, mix wells o chicken pieces are coated well with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. To cook, remove chicken from marinade (and discard marinade or cook for 5 - 10 minutes shoud you wish to sauce) and place on a tray. Roast in the centre of a (pre-heated) oven at 250 degrees centigrade for 25 - 30 minutes, until darkened bronze and glazed. Serve with the Japanese mayo dip
5. FOR THE YUZUKOSHO, in a mortar, combine the chopped red chilies, yuzu zest and salt and gently pound till you get a paste. Set aside for mixing into the mayo
6. FOR THE MAYO, combine the yuzukosho and rice vinegar in a glass bowl. Let sit for a few minutes. Stir to loosen the paste and combine it with the vinegar.
7. Add the mayo, yogurt and mirin to the yuzukosho-vinegar mix and stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning as required. Serve with chicken wings
