  • • 4 Habanero Peppers
  • • ¼ cup Orange Juice
  • • 5 Cloves Garlic

  • • 1 T Salt
  • • ½ cup Mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Remove the stem and seeds from the habanero peppers.
  • Roughly chop 4 scallions (leaving behind the white ends) and the onion so they fit into a food processor.
  • Add all marinade ingredients (NOT the sour cream or mayo) to the food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Pour marinade over 3-4 pounds of chicken wings, cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. Overnight is ideal.
  • Dice leftover scallions and add ½ cup of diced scallions to ½ cup Mayo and ½ cup Sour cream. Mix well and garnish with extra scallions. This is the creamy dipping sauce.
  • Prepare grill for medium high heat and grill wings using an additional small chunk of smoke wood.
