Chicken wings is one of the most popular appetizer around the world. And here, I have prepared with my own twist.
My hubby won’t like to eat deep fried food, he is so conscious about his health (but, am not.. Usshh).
So I decided to bake my Chicken Wings with some of the Asian spices, available in my pantry.
I am from the Southern part of India, I love spicy foods.. So here, I used hot sauce appropriately spicy for my palate, this could be reduced according to your taste.
Orange is one of my favourite citrus fruit. This citrus fruit goes well with both sweet & savory … I personally felt that, it brings more flavour to my recipe !!!
I love this spicy Orange Honey Sauce !!!
Hope you all enjoy !!!
