“My boys Luciano and Rocco absolutely love this, especially when they are watching a film and want easy finger food,” says Gino D’Acampo , author of a new Italian recipe collection, Gino’s Air Fryer Cookbook . “The Calabrian chilli paste gives a sweet, smoky and very spicy flavour, and, together with the mascarpone which cools that down, the flavours are really a match made in heaven. You can make the wings as spicy as you like by simply adding more chilli or ‘Nduja, or you can substitute the honey with maple syrup, or the mascarpone with cream cheese, if you like.
” Serves : 4 Ingredients : 1kg chicken wings 75g honey 1-3 tbsp Calabrian chilli paste from a jar, or jarred chopped chillies, to taste 11⁄2 tsp red wine vinegar 1 tbsp tomato purée 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp garlic powder 40g rice flour, or cornflour 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika 50g ’Nduja from a jar 150g mascarpone, or Dolcelatte Salt and freshly ground black pepper Method : 1.
