Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to grill/broil settings on high heat (or 200c | 400f).

- 3In a large shallow dish, whisk together the soy sauce, Kecap Manis, honey, sesame oil and garlic. Add the chicken and mix into the sauce to coat. Refrigerate to marinade for 1-2 hours (or overnight for a stronger flavour).

Grill/broil for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Turn the wings and grill/broil for a further 5-8 minutes more, or until they are golden, sticky and cooked through.
- 5While the wings are in the oven; pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, and bring to the boil for 5 minutes.
