Big Flavour Backyard Wings – Sticky, Crispy & Fire-Kissed

These aren’t just any chicken wings – these are sticky, sweet, tangy bangers that come out with a crunch that smacks. We’re talking full-on flavour explosions thanks to Lincolnshire Drizzle Co.’s Sweet Chilli Dressing.

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Wings (Day Before):

    Chuck your chicken wings into a ziplock bag with 3 tablespoons of Lincolnshire Drizzle Co.'s Sweet Chilli Dressing. Seal it, shake it like you mean it, and get it in the fridge overnight. This marinade is doing all the heavy lifting with sweet, sticky vibes and a cheeky bit of heat.

  2. Dry for Crispy Skin (Next Day):

    Take the wings out of the bag and pat them down with kitchen roll. They should be sticky, not swimming. Now dust them with a teaspoon of baking powder – this is the secret weapon that helps crisp up that skin in the air fryer. Stick the wings on a wire rack in the fridge (uncovered) for a few hours to air-dry the skin. This is where the magic starts.

  3. Cook in the Ninja Woodfire (Air Fry Mode):

    Fire up the Ninja Woodfire to 190°C on the Air Fry setting. Place the wings in the basket – make sure they’re spaced out so hot air can do its thing. Cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway. You're looking for a crispy outer shell and a juicy inside. Check that internal temp hits 75°C before moving on.

  4. Glaze and Caramelise:

    Around the 20–25 minute mark, brush or toss the wings in another 1–2 tablespoons of that Sweet Chilli Dressing. This final glaze takes them over the edge – back in for the last 5 minutes to caramelise and get properly sticky.

  5. Garnish and Serve:

    Pull the wings out, plate 'em up, and hit them with black & white sesame seeds, fresh spring onion slices, red chilli, and a good squeeze of lime juice. Stand back and admire your work – then dive in and try not to burn your gob.

And somehow, the Ninja Woodfire UK Facebook group has now passed 27,000 members, while the UK BBQ Community on WhatsApp has gone past 450 members.

That’s honestly mad.

Smoke & Sear has always just been me cooking outside, filming what I’m doing, sharing the wins, the mistakes, the gear, the fire, the smoke and all the no-bollocks bits in between.

But this year feels like things are starting to properly move.

The big goals are simple.

Keep pushing @fourge.bbq with three good mates and see how far we can take a proper UK BBQ business built around flavour, fire and graft.

Keep supporting the UK BBQ community, helping it grow, connecting more people, and doing what I can to push it forward.

And hopefully find a couple of brands to work with properly long-term. Real content, proper use, honest feedback, recipes, and maybe even stepping into demos a bit more.

To everyone who follows, comments, shares, reads the website, joins the groups, tries a recipe, buys from FOURGE, or just sticks around for the madness — genuinely, thank you.

It’s all a bit ridiculous.

But we’re only getting started 🔥

Bit of a special one today ❤️🔥

Olivia and Oakley wanted to take over the Kamado Joe and make their own cooking video . . . so we made smoked & tallow-confit beef cheeks together.

And honestly, this is what it’s all about for me.

Getting kids outside. Around fire. Around food. Learning patience, confidence and where proper food actually comes from.

There is absolutely NO chance I’d have eaten beef cheeks at their age 😅

But when kids get involved in cooking outdoors, they become curious. They want to try things. Learn things. Experience things.

And somewhere between the smoke, the laughs and the chaos . . . core memories get made ❤️
First proper hike completed ✅

Big shoutout to @lads_project25 for a cracking day out in the Peak District.

This was my first real hike and my first ever visit to the Peak District — and what a place to start.

📍 Higger Tor, Burbage Edge & Padley Gorge Circular
🥾 7.2 miles
⛰️ 1,378ft elevation gain
⏱️ 4 hours 6 minutes
🐾 One very happy, very tired Labrador

12 lads turned up, most of us strangers at the start, but it didn’t feel like that for long. Non-stop chats, proper laughs, some deep conversations, a bit of scrambling, a few boggy moments, and views that made every climb worth it.

Groups like Lads Project matter.

No judgement. No pressure. Just good lads getting outside, keeping active, sharing stories, having a laugh, and supporting each other in a way that feels natural.

If you’re a bloke who’s been thinking about doing something like this, reach out to @lads_project25 and get involved.

Fresh air, good people, and a reminder that sometimes the best conversations happen while walking side by side.

I’ll definitely be joining them again soon.

TEMPER Smoked Pulled Lamb Flatbreads 🔥

2.6kg bone-in lamb shoulder from @thecateringbutcher , hit with TEMPER from @fourge.bbq , smoked low and slow, then pulled into fresh flatbreads with garlic yoghurt, pickled onions, herbs and charred lemon.

Bit more of an involved cook this one, but absolutely worth it.

I also used the @typhur_uk Sync Gold Dual for temps throughout the cook and, to be fair, the Sub-1G connection was solid. No problem getting through the lamb, wrapped in foil, inside the Kamado Joe, through a few walls, while I cracked on writing the full recipe for the website like the BBQ geek I apparently am.

Full recipe is here:

Enjoy!
DRAGON, edge of the sky.

Flt Lt Tom Nation, the 2026 RAF Typhoon Display Pilot, putting the Typhoon through its paces over Coningsby.

Tom’s name is now on the jet, the black flying suit is on, the helmet has been unveiled, and the 2026 display season is starting to feel very real.

The aircraft, the pilot, the team behind it — all coming together for what looks like it’s going to be an unbelievable season.

Fast, precise, aggressive, controlled . . . and absolutely breathtaking to watch.
