Instructions

Crispy Sweet Sticky Spicy Wings

We had a few friends in last night for sips and nibbles and I was in the mood for something spicy, so I came up with this very simple sweet spicy glaze to toss with my crispy deep-fried wings. It was fantastic. Crispy, sticky and with great spicy heat; these were irresistable and I ate way too many of them. The heat comes from chinese fresh ground chili paste, so it is very easy to adjust the heat to suit your taste. I think this recipe will become an entertaining favorite at our house.
