- Add the Tabasco, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, cracked black pepper and tomato puree.
- Mix this all together thoroughly and continue to simmer the sauce for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool while you continue with the wings.
- Cut the the wingtips from the wings and transfer the wings to a large non-reactive pan. Pour the bourbon sauce over the wings evenly so that everything is covered.
- Place the wings in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Barbecue the wings over high heat for 16 minutes, turning every 4 minutes and basting at every turn with the remaining sauce.

- Serve the wings to platters with the accompaniments of your choice and serve immediately.
