This have an interesting flavor I liked the molasses with a little bit of heat behind it. I didn't have dried chilies so subbed a little hotsauce, red pepper flakes and chili powder. The only thing I didn't like is even with extra time in the oven the coating is still sticky which makes them messy to eat. I had hoped to serve them to guests but don't want people having to lick their fingers during cocktails.<br/>Made for PAC Spring Safari
