The love this recipe
These are finger-licking’ good chicken wings with a mega kick! If you love a grilled chicken wing and can handle the heat, then this one’s for you.
I love to serve these at a BBQ (with a warning label on) alongside a fresh salad – a favourite of mine to counteract the heat is chopped mango, lime and mint; you could also do the same with some pineapple or even some cucumber, which is the universal spicy-food-extinguisher.
Used alongside the Memphis Smoky BBQ Rub, the Ghost Pepper not only provides a great kick of heat but a wonderfully fruity, chilli flavour that works so well with the smoky flavours of the rub plus the charred, grilled taste you get from the grill.
Directions
- Combine the ghost pepper flakes and BBQ rub in a large bowl with the olive oil and mix to make a paste. Add your chicken wings and toss to coat. Place covered in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Heat your griddle pan or BBQ to med-high heat. Place the wings on and grill for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through, turning frequently to ensure the spices don’t burn.
