Barbecue Sauces come in all kinds of flavors, colors, and types. Everyone knows the thick, sweet sauces found on the shelves of most grocery stores However, there is so much more to barbecue than these bottled condiments.
These BBQ chilli chicken wings are the perfect party food! They're easy to make, and they're always a hit with guests. The key to making these wings extra special is in the sauce.
Combine the spices, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss the wings with 3 tbsp of this mixture in another bowl. Cook the wings on the cooler side of the BBQ, with the lid closed, for 30 minutes, turning halfway through. Move the wings to direct heat, over the coals, and cook for another 5 minutes, moving them around and turning to ensure even crisping. (Alternatively, heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 6 and divide the wings between two trays. Roast for 45 minutes until cooked through. Heat the grill to high and transfer the wings to a large tray, discarding any cooking juices. Grill for 15-20 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes, until charred and crispy.)
