These crisp, buttermilk-marinated chicken wings can be found on the menu at London's Riding House Café. They're a bit of effort to make, but are well worth giving a go at home

Ingredients

2 long shallots, chopped
½ onion, chopped
1tbsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp mustard powder
20 scotch bonnet peppers
50g garlic (5-7 cloves)
75g fresh horseradish
1 lime, zested
225ml distilled malt vinegar
1kg chicken wings
40g all-purpose seasoning
500ml buttermilk
250ml white wine vinegar
100g caster sugar
3 large red onions, thinly sliced
250g plain flour
1 tsp ground allspice
½ tsp onion powder
½ tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried thyme
60g Bajan pepper sauce (recipe above) or other hot pepper saucE
200g mayonnaise
a few sprigs of coriander
pickled red onions (recipe above)

Method

1
To make the pepper sauce, blitz all the ingredients plus 1 tbsp of table salt in a food processor or high-powered blender to make a smooth paste. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days before using.
2
The day before cooking, rub the chicken wings in the all-purpose seasoning and put into a large bowl. Pour over the buttermilk and chill overnight.
3
To make the pickled onions, bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil in a pan over a medium heat, then add the onions. Cover and leave until completely cool, then chill.
4
Combine all the ingredients for the dry mixture, plus 10g of table salt.
5
Whisk together 60g of the Bajan pepper sauce and mayonnaise to make a serving sauce, then set aside until ready to serve.
6
Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk and drain really well, then toss in the dry mixture.
7
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fill a large pan no more than a third full with oil and heat to 180C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the wings, in batches, for 5-7 minutes or until crisp, drain onto kitchen paper, then tip onto a baking tray while you fry the rest. Once all the wings are fried, put them into the oven for 5 minutes to cook through.
8
Serve the wings with the coriander, pickled onions, dipping sauce and the remaining pepper sauce.
