Ever since making African-style chicken shawarma, I’ve so wanted to use the same awesome flavors on some chicken wings. Besides, I wanted to get out of the same ol’ wings recipe rut. And, hey, aren’t we ready to get out of our comfort zone and try bold new flavors for a change? That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Wine pairing: Sparkling wine goes great with crispy chicken, and a lightly sweet one is best for spicy. However, a dry or semi-dry will work if you go heavier on the garlic than the heat.
