Sweet N' Spicy Chicken Wings - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 lbs chicken wings, plump (make sure they're halved)
    Marinade
    1 cup strong black tea (I left the tea bag in for 10 minutes)
    4 ounces dried mango
    1 1/2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled weight (a 2 inch knob, approximately)
    2 large garlic cloves, peeled
    4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
    2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons ketchup
    1/3 cup soya sauce
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you like a lot of spice, add more)
Preparation
    Rehydrate dried mango by placing the pieces in a small bowl with the hot tea and leave until tea has cooled completely.
    Combine all marinade ingredients (including mango and tea) in a mini-processor and blend to make a fairly-smooth puree (it will not be completely smooth).
    Put chicken wings in a large ziploc bag and add marinade. Seal bag and massage marinade into chiciken wings. Refrigerate wings 8 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator 20 minutes before baking.
    Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F Empty chicken wings into a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, turning over after 1 hour and basting with marinade.
    Enjoy!
