Instructions
For the 1st marinade:
- Add the wings to a large mixing bowl. To a small bowl add the lime juice, ginger, garlic and salt. Mix well so the pastes are dissolved into the lime juice. Pour over the wings and toss to coat. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 30 minutes.
For the 2nd marinade:
- To a separate bowl add the ingredients for the 2nd marinade, mix well. After the 30 minutes, add this to the wings and marinate for 1 hour at room temperature (if you’re room is warm, marinate in the fridge).
