Meet the Caribbean version of buffalo wings!
Delicious crispy chicken wings are coated in an easy to make sweet, sticky and spicy flavoursome glaze!
The sweetness comes from the brown sugar, the spiciness from the scotch bonnet and the tanginess from the apple cider vinegar, and the good news is that you only need 7 ingredients to create these fantastic chicken wings - the kind of chicken wings that everyone will be raving about!
This is perfect for any buffet, half time snack or snack full stop and the fact that it doesn't take long to prepare and cook makes it a winner!
I used 2 teaspoons of Myristca's Scotch Bonnet Fiery BBQ spice in the sauce and they were spicy, but not hot enough to have to drink a glass of milk with it. If you like things seriously spicy then feel free to at least double the amount of spice mix.
Ingredients
For the wings:
500g chicken wings, washed and cut in the middle so that you have the flat part and the mini drum

A pinch of salt

1.5 teaspoons of Myristca's Scotch Bonnet Fiery BBQ
Vegetable oil for deep frying

4. Heat oil to 180c
