Excellent wings! The blend of spices were wonderful and complemented one another perfectly. The wings were easy to prepare and cook. They were, as they say, finger-lickin' good! Thank you for posting. Made for the Soup-A-Stars during ZWT9

We had these delicious wings tonight for a light supper. I marinated them overnight just to be sure that they would absorb the maximum flavor and they did not disappoint. They are definitely spicy with just the right amount of heat. I did not broil them as I was afraid they would burn. We cooked them for the 25 minutes and they were just right. Made for ZWT9.

Intensely flavorful. My family loved these. The smell when heating the spices was so fragrant. Made for ZWT9 for Hot Stuff.
