Okay, I've tried Jadzia's Zingy Wings. Last night I had a go at James' World's Hottest Wings, courtesy of tfbrown69. Thanks to you both - absolutely yummy.
I'd say the marinade is the way forward if you've the patience. I only managed 7 hours or so (5 days??!), but even that makes a huge difference to the chook.
My only problem comes in the choice of vinegar. I used Tarragon vinegar for both recipes, and the results just lacked a little sourness. Malt vinegar is conspicuous in its absence around here, and the alternatives are all too sweet/ distractingly perfumed. Next move will either be a trip to Blighty for supplies, or I might try one of those industrial-looking vats of white spirit from Carrefour...
