Sweet Peach BBQ sauce with chicken wings

ProPoints® Value: 2
Servings: 6 = Note 1 serving is 2 wings.

Ingredients

12 Chicken Wings, without skin
1 medium Red Onions, sliced
1 medium Peach, Pitted, small cubed
1 large Tomato, small cubed
1 teaspoons grated ginger
60 ml Vinegar, I used white wine (but others can be used)
90 ml Pineapple Juice (orange juice can be used, I just used pineapple because of the dessert I was making - see warm basalmic fruit salad)
2tbsp Tate & Lyle Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1 tablespoons Soy Sauce
Salt & Pepper to taste,

Instructions

In a small pan, put a spray of oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Add all the other ingredients apart from the chicken and stir frequently for 2 minutes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture is reduced by about 1/2 and thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
Pour over seasoned chicken and bake in oven at 210'C for about 40mins,till cooked through. Serve with choice of veg or rice.

Additional info
This was last nights tea, and surprisingly enough there was some sauce left. It makes a really nice glaze on roast veg. I chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, butternut squash, actually it will work with any veg you want. But to make a serving 0PP just use any zero veg you have in the house. It goes really well with sausages, especially caramelised onion ones.

How long do you cook this for?
 
Hi,
I cooked it for about 60mins at 200C, then opened the package. I was waiting for the OH to get home from work, which usually effects most of my cooking times, sometime the temp goes up or down depending. :D
