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

Great Wings!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw Paula and Bobby doing wings and thought it looked really good. Then I read some of the reviews and thought maybe not. ... I am so glad I tried them. My family loved them! I changed a couple of things -- I added 2 peppers and used olive oil and cut the amount for marinade in half -- then drizzled wings with olive oil before cooking and added house seasoning before cooking. Oh, I forgot to puree ingredients for marinade -- but they were finally diced. They were just great! Thanks Paula!Read more

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For the marinade, I left out the oil.....as it tends to act as a barrier on the chicken and doesn't allow the flavors of the... other ingredients infuse into the meat. Try leaving out the oil....you'll find that the flavor is fabulous! Read more

Good if you like really mild wings ! kids and oldfolks etc.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Not much flavor considering the marinate ingredients and time to marinate. I liked them OK but prefer something with more... flavor and some punch. Like I said, If you have kids or older people that can't tolerate hot wings, these are for you. I would rate the Avocado dip as "POOR" it had way too much Cilantro which has a tendency to over power when used in excess. It seems to be "hip" to add Cilantro to everything these days. I'm not much of a fan. . . . . The dip needed something to make it "creamier" as well . . . . Thx !Read more
