METHOD:

Combine rice vinegar, cider vinegar, ground coriander, ground cloves, ground allspice berries, onion, garlic, brown sugar, blackstrap molasses, Worcestershire sauce, beer, crushed tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, ground chili paste, chili flakes, scotch bonnet peppers, salt, and ground black pepper in a saucepan set over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes stirring frequently.

Remove saucepan from heat and cool.
Rinse wings and pat dry.
Place wings in a sealable plastic bag.
Reserve 1 cup of sauce for serving.
Pour remaining sauce into the bag with wings and massage to ensure wings are evenly coated.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Once chicken is almost done marinating, preheat barbeque to medium heat 350-375 F (175-190 C).
Brush grill with oil.
Place wings on the grill and cook 10-15 minutes per side or until crispy and cooked all the way through.
Remove wings from the grill and sprinkle with more chili flakes if you can’t get enough heat!
For the dipping sauce, combine sour cream, lemon, chili flakes, and scallions.
Serve wings with reserved hot sauce and dipping sauce.

Note: Cooking times and temperatures will vary depending on the size and type of your barbeque.
