Spicy Buffalo Wings
Alright here we are, a day before the Super Bowl and I saved the best for last. What Super Bowl party would be complete with out buffalo wings? Now I like my buffalo wings spicy so these are no exception as they are not for the faint of heart. I use a habanero pepper, chili paste and seasonings to coat perfectly seasoned oven fried wings.
