Japanese Style Chicken Wings

The prep time includes marinating time.

Wash the chicken wings and wipe dry.

Cut off the wing.

Bend each wing until you can see the joint , then cut through with a sharp knife.

Rub each piece with salt.

Mix the grated ginger and most of the spring onions with the sake , soy and mirin.

Toss the chicken wings in the marinade until well coated , cover with plastic film and leave for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the grill or a cast-iron griddle.

Drain the wings , reserving the marinade , and cook on both sides until half cooked , for around 10 minutes.

Coat in the marinade once more , then cook for a further 10 minutes , or until golden and tender , turning once or twice.

Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve with lemon wedges and steamed rice.
