Method

Pickled Red Onion Garnish

  1. Slice the red onion as thinly as possible
  2. Toss the red onion in salt and squeeze in the lime juice.
  3. Leave it pickle in the lime for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 1 week.

Wings

  1. Pour 150mls of Chimac K-BBQ sauce into a pot and slowly pour the Jameson on top. Put the pot on medium heat and stir regularly to burn off the alcohol for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and add the rest of the Chimac K-BBQ sauce – this will cool down the sauce much faster.
  3. Mix cornflour with salt and pepper. Toss the wings and leave to sit for thirty minutes. This will help set the moisture in the wing and make the skin even crispier.
    After 30 mins, cover the wings in the cooled whiskey mixture and leave marinate for 3 -12 hours in the fridge.
  4. Fill up a BBQ with fresh coals and light her up.
  5. Remove the wings from the marinade. Don’t throw it away – put the remaining marinade back in a pot and let it reduce while stirring regularly until it thickens while the wings cook.
  6. Cook the chicken wings evenly on the barbeque, turning very regularly and tending to them. Once they have a good char you can move them to a cool part of the grill or to a preheated oven (180 degrees for 15-20 minutes). Check they’re cooked using a probe in the center of the biggest wing, which you’ll want to be above 78 degrees.
  7. Put the wings on a serving plate, drizzle on the reduced sauce and garnish* with pickled red onions and freshly chopped spring onions. Tuck in and enjoy.
