Method

Combine all the ingredients(not the wings) in a blender and mix until smooth. heat until a light simmer or stick in the microwave for a minute. Consistency should be like a thin pancake batter so add a touch of water if need be. Cool in the fridge.

Salt and pepper 3kg of wings and add it to a large ziplock bag with the marinade and remove all the air. Leave in the fridge for as long as you can. Up to 4 days is best. Make sure you are still within the best before date from your butcher or grocery.

Once you are ready to grill, take the wings out carefully and place the leftover marinade into a saucepan with 1 bottle of corona. Bring to a boil and simmer slowly until it is reduced to about a tea mug of glaze/sauce. You cannot skip this step because the marinade has been in contact with raw chicken.

Low and slow on the BBQ or grill until the wings hit 80 degrees internal. While 75 degrees is safe, chicken wings are better crispier. Throw the hot wings in a large bowl with the glaze and toss. Serve on a plate with fridge-chilled fruit like watermelon, berries or orange slices to cool the chipotle heat.
