The tasters loved this recipe and kept going back for seconds. I have to tell you, we regularly go out for hot wings. I would encourage you to cut up your own wings for this recipe. It will help you save money, and it will literally take two to three minutes to cut all of these wings and get them ready.

After I finished this recipe, I drizzled the extra sauce on top and then served up the sauce on the side. Be careful when cutting up the habanero, they are one of the hottest peppers around. I would suggest you wear gloves. Also, do not touch any part of your body until you have washed and rinsed your hands extensively first.
