Nice base
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried these on legs and they were really good. It's a nice base that you can tweak, depending on your tastes. I like it... both a little sweeter and hotter so I added another jalapeno and more honey. It's really good on the grill. Read more

Not much to talk about
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Maybe I should've tried it 100% before reading others reviews and tweeking the recipe per suggestions- However- After adding... extra jalepenos, honey and leaving out the oil nothing popped about these wings- I rate them on a scale closer to Hooters- BlehkRead more

Disappointing flavors for the work
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I used 2 jalapeno and doubled the honey, per another review. But the marinade did not penetrate the chicken wings at all. I... am not a salt-lover by any means, but this recipe cries for any bit of flavor. SO disappointing - the 24 hour marinade felt almost useless. The charred skin had some remnants of flavor, but the meat was bland, bland, bland. There are a thousand and one better recipes out there. I wish I had done a search for them, before I got pulled in my Paula and Bobby oohing and aahing over these letdown wings on the show.Read more

MOST enjoyable
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved the fact that it is a little different. Depending on how hot the jalapenos are, you may have to adjust and you... definitely need more avocado dip! I had to cook my wings a bit longer than stated. My guests loved them!Read more
