Preheat the oven to 220C, fan-forced. Crush or finely chop the garlic. Combine the garlic, cumin and coriander spice blend, half the coconut milk*, 2 tbs sugar, 1 tbs white vinegar and 3 tsp soy sauce in a medium deep baking pan. Add the chicken wings and turn to coat.
Step 2 — Bake chicken wings
Bake the chicken wings, turning occasionally, for 30-35 mins until golden and the sauce is reduced.
Step 3 — Cook rice
Meanwhile, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Put in a small saucepan with 250ml (1 cup) water, cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 mins or until tender and the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and stand, covered, for at least 5 mins.
Step 4 — Prep salad ingredients
While the rice is cooking, shred the carrot and cucumber using a julienne peeler or cut into thin matchsticks. Thinly slice the capsicum into strips. Finely grate the zest of half the lime, then juice the whole lime.
Step 5 — Toss salad
Combine the lime zest, 1 tbs lime juice, 2 tsp oil and 1 tsp soy sauce in a large bowl and season with pepper. Add the carrot, cucumber and capsicum to the dressing, then toss to combine.
Step 6 — Get ready to serve
Fluff the rice with a fork. Divide the rice, chicken wings and salad among plates. Drizzle over the pan sauce to serve.
