Alright gents, another reason to drink beer

FOR THE CHICKEN AND MARINADE:
12 whole chicken wings(2 1/2-3lbs)
1/4 c peanut oil
1/4 c lemon juice
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1/4 c australian beer (such as Fosters)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

After cleaning the chicken, blot dry and make 2 or 3 deep slashes to the bone in the meaty portion of each wing. Put in large non reactive bowl, or ziplock bag(I have found zl bags to work best for me) and add ingredients listed above (pre-mixed of course). Marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator. Now it is time to prepare the bbq sauce.

FOR THE BBQ SAUCE:
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teasopoon hot red pepper flakes
1 c ketchup
1/3 c Australian beer
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

While waiting for the chicken to marinate, be sure to finish off the rest of that beer before it gets warm. And get to putting together that BBQ sauce.
1. heat peanut oil in a medium size sauce pan over med. heat
2. add onion, garlic, ginger, and hot pepper flakes and saute until onion and garlic are lightly browned ( about 5 minutes).
3. stir in ketchup, beer, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar, honey, soy sauce, mustard, pepper, and bring to a boil.
4. reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick and richly flavored (10-15minutes)
5. remove from heat and measure out about 1 cup, set this portion aside for serving.
6. Use the remainder of the sauce to brush on chicken during the last 5 minutes of grilling.

If done right, this chicken is the heat. I have built mucho rapport at cookouts with this one. Have fun, and by the way this recipe came from "The Barbeque Bible" by Steven Raichlen
