Welcome to season 4! We start off with one of our favorite dishes to make, chicken wings. But we can't just make regular chicken wings. That's boring and an awful way to kick off the season. In the past we've made Asian Orange Chicken Wings, Strawberry-Jalapeno Chicken Wings and Spicy Apricot Wings. We love making a good sauce to go with our wings and this episode we make a Spicy Blueberry sauce.
The recipe calls for fresh blueberries and blueberry preserves giving it a sweet flavor while the Sriracha (Hot Chili Sauce) gives it a spicy kick. The sauce can be made ahead and warmed up once the wings are ready. Also, if you want your wings hotter you can increase the amount of Sriracha. They're a great combination of sweet and savory and a better alternative to your regular buffalo sauce.
