Hot Chicken Wings With Banana and Curry Sauce

stormylee's Note:

A great combination of spicy chicken and the gentle sweetness of banana! Hotness depends on your chilli powder – with a milder chili mix this is not particularly hot at all, but still very flavourful. I’ve also made this with quartered chicken breast halves when I couldn't find wings! These go great with a potato and feta salad with olive oil dressing. Recipe adapted from Ruokala website.

The chicken wings were excellent, although not very hot. I might add some additional hot sauce when I repeat this recipe, which I surely will. We did not care for the Banana Curry Sauce at all. Just didn't compliment the wings for us. We liked them much better plain. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 09
