PREPARATION

Wings: 1/ Mix all the ingredients in a bowel and add the wings, leave for at least 30 minutes but this works best if left over night in the fridge.

2/ Remove the wings from marinade and lay flat on the BBQ, turning frequently and brush several times with the marinade. Cook until the meat is white and the outside is slightly blackened.

Mushrooms: 1/ Put the butter, shallots, garlic and sliced mushrooms in a large pan, cook until the mushrooms are soft and have cooked down, add the white wine, parsley and mustard and cook until the liquid is 80-90% evaporated.

2/ Toast the bread on the BBQ and top with the mushrooms.

Coldslaw: 1/  Place the grated vegetable in a large bowel, add the mayo, mustard , salt and pepper, mix well. I like to make this a little ahead of time as the vegetables soften a little and the flavor develops.
