Cholula Hot + Sweet Chicken Wings (Alitas Dulces y Picantes)
These Cholula Hot and Sweet chicken wings have just the right balance of spicy and sweet with a combination of Cholula hot sauce and honey. I like to serve the chicken wings with arroz con gandules for a delicious meal or alongside other appetizers for the ultimate game day party platter.
