If you're obsessed with the burning flavours of Pizza Hut's delicious Buffalo wings, then you have to give this homemade batch a try. Like the ones you love so much, they are crispy and coated with a marinade of barbecue and hot sauce. Tastes best when you counterbalance the spiciness with a ramekin of yoghurt sauce for dipping alongside slices of cucumber to refresh the palate.

Yield: Serves 4
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 105 mins
Difficulty Level: 3/5

Ingredients

  • 2 kg chicken wing nibbles
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra hot chilli sauce
  • ½ cup (140 g) barbecue sauce
  • 4 Lebanese cucumbers (520 g)
  • 1 cup (280 g) Greek-style yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Steps

01. Preheat a 7 litre (28 cups) slow cooker on HIGH.

02. Place wings, chilli sauce, ⅓ cup of the barbecue sauce, the oil and vinegar in slow cooker; mix well. Ensure wings are in an even layer. Cook, covered, for 1 hr 30 mins. Carefully transfer wings to a large oven tray.

03. Preheat oven grill (broiler); grill wings until golden all over.

04. Meanwhile, remove flameproof insert of slow cooker (or transfer sauce to a saucepan) and place on the stovetop, or adjust slow cooker to ‘reduce’ (HIGH) setting. Simmer sauce, uncovered, for 7 mins or until reduced slightly and thickened. Pour over grilled wings.

05. Cut cucumbers into quarters lengthways. Swirl remaining barbecue sauce through yoghurt.

06. Season wings; serve with yoghurt sauce and cucumber.
