I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Baked Buffalo Wings.


Baked Buffalo Wings.


Traditionally buffalo wings are deep fried but I hate deep frying, plus I wanted something healthier for the girls. These are crispy without being fried and they couldn't be simpler or faster to make. These wings are made for the girls so they are sweet and sour without any spiciness. I have coated the chicken in tomato rather than hot sauce but add a good teaspoonful of cayenne pepper if you prefer.


In a large oven tray, put in

-1kg chicken wings,

-1tsp sea salt,

-1tbsp onion granules,

-1tbsp dry garlic,

-2tbsp plain flour,

-2-3tbsp vegetable oil.

Mix well.


Bake in 180c fan forced oven for 20 minutes.


The sauce.

In a small saucepan, put in

-150g tomato ketchup,

-2tbsp balsamic vinegar,

-50g butter.

Cook, stirring occasionally until the butter have melted.


Pour the sauce over the chicken.

Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, around 20 minutes.
