David Lange's Nuclear Free Chicken with Plum Sauce is a recipe inspired by former New Zealand Prime Minister, David Lange. During the 1980s, Lange was a key figure in the anti-nuclear movement and played a major role in making New Zealand a nuclear-free zone. As a nod to his legacy, this chicken dish was named after him and is completely free from any nuclear ingredients. The chicken wings are oven-baked to crispy perfection and served with a tangy plum sauce. Not only is this dish delicious, it's also gluten-free and high in protein. Give it a try and taste the flavors of New Zealand!
