Ingredients
1kg chicken wings 
1 tbsp chicken seasoning or salt 

BBQ sauce ingredients 
250ml bottle of Guinness  
50g brown sugar 
50g ketchup 
1½ tbsps English mustard 
1½ tbsps apple cider vinegar 
1½ tbsps Worcestershire sauce 
½ tsp chili powder 
1 tsp salt 
½ tsp black pepper 

Method
Preheat the oven to 180c. 

In a large baking dish put 2 tbsps oil and the chicken wings and scatter the chicken seasoning over the top and put it into the oven for 45 minutes, turning half way through.

In a saucepan, add the Guinness and bring it to a boil - note here that it will really foam up, don’t worry about it, just stir from time to time. Once boiling reduce the heat to medium, add the sugar and stir.   Leave the mixture so it is simmering. 

In a separate bowl mix together the ketchup, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and chilli powder.  It is important to really mix here.  Once fully mixed take a couple of large spoonfuls of the hot liquid and mix through the ketchup mixture.  Add the ketchup mixture to the Guinness mixture and thoroughly stir.  Season with salt and pepper and cook for 15-20 minutes until the mixture is a little thicker.  The mixture will thicken as it cools so don’t worry too much.   

Before turning off the heat check the sauce, it needs a little acidic bite, needs to not taste too sweet and should be balanced.  If too sweet or not enough acidic bite add another tbsp of vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. 

Put the wings into a bowl and toss through half of the sauce, adding more sauce to suit your taste.
