Quickfire goals just past the half-hour mark from Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha guided them to victory over their Championship opponents, as they booked their place in the fifth round of the competition for the second season in a row.
Tatter Travels organised all six of their sold-out coaches to stop at Chorley FC where the club opened its doors and provided drinks and hospitality before they continued their journey to Blackburn.
"It's been fantastic to welcome over 500 Wolves supporters this morning to our social club," Chorley posted on their official X channel.
"A big thank you for visiting in number today ahead of your game at Blackburn Rovers. A brilliant bunch who have enjoyed every minute, singing in fine voice."
It's been just over 39 years since then sixth-tier Chorley beat Wolves at the third attempt in an FA Cup first round replay on November 25, 1986.
Wolves had been in the top-flight as early as 1984 but the 3-0 loss at Burnden Park represented dark days for a club which suffered an extraordinary triple relegation.
Chorley provided a special fan zone for supporters and in return, fans helped raise money for the National League North side.
In 2021, Wolves faced Chorley in the fourth round, with Vitinha's long-range effort guiding the Premier League side to a narrow 1-0 win.
