Method

• step 1

  To make the pepper sauce, blitz all the ingredients plus 1 tbsp of table salt in a food processor or high-powered blender to make a smooth paste. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days before using.

• step 2

  The day before cooking, rub the chicken wings in the all-purpose seasoning and put into a large bowl. Pour over the buttermilk and chill overnight.

• step 3

  To make the pickled onions, bring the vinegar and sugar to a boil in a pan over a medium heat, then add the onions. Cover and leave until completely cool, then chill.

• step 4

  Combine all the ingredients for the dry mixture, plus 10g of table salt.

• step 5

  Whisk together 60g of the Bajan pepper sauce and mayonnaise to make a serving sauce, then set aside until ready to serve.

• step 6

  Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk and drain really well, then toss in the dry mixture.

• step 7

  Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fill a large pan no more than a third full with oil and heat to 180C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Fry the wings, in batches, for 5-7 minutes or until crisp, drain onto kitchen paper, then tip onto a baking tray while you fry the rest. Once all the wings are fried, put them into the oven for 5 minutes to cook through.

• step 8

  Serve the wings with the coriander, pickled onions, dipping sauce and the remaining pepper sauce.
