Always popular on the barbecue, this marinade has a lovely sweet flavour thanks to the pineapple juice and spices. The marinade would also work well with pork and fish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tblsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tblsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp ground allspice
• ½ large red chillies, deseeded and chopped
• 1.5 kgs chicken wings

Method

1. In a resealable bag put the pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, garlic, allspice and chillies. Seal and shake to mix.
2. Add the chicken wings and seal. Toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or up to overnight.
3. Barbecue on a hot well-oiled barbecue plate or grill bars, turning occasionally until golden and well cooked. Serve with grilled lime wedges.

Cooks Tips

- If you do not have balsamic vinegar, use wine or cider vinegar and add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar. - Dark-brown sugar adds great flavour to this marinade.
