- Comments
- This recipe was created in response to a plea from my husband, who could never find take-out hot wings that were hot enough for him. (I have made far hotter, which he loves, but I can't eat!)
- This recipe is for 4 appetizer servings, or one meal. (as in a wife and a verrry hungry hubbie!)
