Honey Wings
I personally think that chicken—with the right recipe and preparation—can be very versatile and delicious. And I feel very lucky to be a Malaysian because the Chinese, Malay, and Indians in Malaysia have many creative ways and interesting recipes when it comes to cooking chicken.

- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions
- Prepare the ginger by pounding with a mortar and pestle or grinding with a small food processor. Extract the juice by squeezing with your hand and discard the ginger.

Notes
At Asian restaurants, chefs often pan-fried satay and then grill them over the stove top flame to get that perfectly charred surface. I baked my honey chicken wings for 20 minutes in the oven (when they just cooked through) and transfered the wings out of the oven. I then held the honey wing with a tong, and grill them over my gas stove top (set to medium heat). Voila. You've got picture perfect grilled honey chicken wings that are juicy and moist.
