Finger Lickin’ Good Wings

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).

Ingredients:

5 Tbsp Louisiana style hot sauce
3 Tbsp vegetable oil, separated
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 jalapenos, minced
2-1/2 lbs chicken wings

Instructions:

In a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag combine the hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of the oil, vinegar, garlic powder and jalapenos. Seal the bag and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the chicken wings and place in the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare a very hot grill, and brush the grill grate with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Once grill is heated, turn down heat to medium (if using charcoal, rake some coals over to the side to create a medium-heat zone). Grill the wings for about 7 minutes on each side or until nicely brown. Serve with an extra shake of hot sauce if desired.
