Asian Inspired Wings

When it comes to chicken wings, some like them hot, some like them mild, and then the rest of us just care about the flavor.  The problem with wings that contain a lot of heat, is they usually lack flavor, which is why I stay away from these wings.  Plus as I am getting older, I am finding out I just can’t handle the heat I use to.  These wings bring a nice sweet, Asian flavor to chicken wings.
