This Father's Day, avoid the commercial claptrap and don't be swept up by the frenzy of having to buy a present — one that your dad may not even need.
Instead, give him the best treat by whipping up a batch of mouth-watering chicken wings with a delicious avocado dipping sauce. To mop up the delectable juices, add a garlic bread and a salad and Father's Day lunch is sorted.
The beauty of this recipe is that it can easily be doubled and trebled.
