Get your wings on and fly to the Caribbean!

Imagine yourself hopping on a plane, flying down to the Caribbean and ending up at your favorite watering hole having a beer or three and enjoying a nice platter of wings on the patio.  Oh man, can’t do that? That’s too bad!  Well, here’s the next best thing.

These spicy chicken wings will truly rock your world! The best thing about these wings is they are baked. That’s right, you heard me, they are baked, so less fat, but just as delicious, if not better.  These are really simple to make, you just bake the wings and while they are baking drink some coldies. That’s it.

Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees. I use about 3 dozen chicken wings here, but you can make as much as you want. Wash them and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.  Salt and pepper the wings.

Bake the chicken wings for about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how well done you want them. I like them bit crispier so I baked them for an hour.

 After an hour, you will end up with  beautiful crispy chicken wings. Place the wings in a bowl big enough to be able to pour on the wing sauce of your choice. 

Pour the Caribbean Trading Company’s gourmet wing sauce of your choice over the wings and toss them around. Serve these warm and decorate nicely with some chives or your herb of choice and enjoy! Yeah, mon!

Cheers to Halloween! Beware of the Vamparita. This lady is una Margarita sangrienta – or a bloody Margarita. Unlike a Bloody Mary, this drink is actually your traditional frozen margarita layered with sangria. Potent and alluring, the Vamparita is sure to please even the most demanding blood-thirsty pallet.

To serve up a Vamparita simply fill 2/3 of a tall glass with frozen margarita and then pour in sangria for the remaining 1/3. Garnish with an orange wedge and serve immediately.
