Make the BBQ sauce by roasting tomato purée in a pan.

Add chicken stock, brown sugar, and lingonberries to the pan and let it stand for a bit.

Prepare chicken wings by salting them and cutting into the joints to maintain their shape.

Simmer the wings for about half a minute to a minute before blending the BBQ sauce with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce.

Strain the BBQ sauce to achieve a bitter-sweet liquid.

Brush the chicken wings with a tiny amount of oil before grilling.

Grill the wings without BBQ sauce initially to prevent burning.

Cook the wings on low heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, turning them every minute.

Prepare a salad with pointed cabbage, removing the bottom of the stem and lightly salting it.

Make a dressing with citrus juice from orange and grapefruit, grainy mustard, salt, and pepper, adding walnut oil and roasted walnuts to the cabbage.

Chop chives to add to the salad.
