Fear The Reaper
The wrinkly little red pepper developed by Ed Currie has officially been declared the world’s hottest pepper. It is roughly 800 times hotter than a jalapeño and more than twice as hot as the Ghost Pepper.Kill Saucechose this super spicy pepper for their Carolina Reaper hot sauce because of it’s distinctive flavor as well as its heat. TheCarolina Kill Saucecomes out of the gate like a blazing inferno but interestingly it doesn’t kill your taste buds. The heat dissipates quickly and you’re left with they yummy flavors of the pomegranate molasses, red bell peppers and balsamic.
Amazingly Crispy Baked Wings
Keep that deep frier in the closet because there’s finally a method that will get you really crispy wings in the oven! What’s the trick? Baking Powder. Food scientists and chefs know this simple trick to get any poultry skin crispy. It’s all a matter of science. The baking powder (and make sure you’re using baking powder, not baking soda) raises the PH level of the chicken skin allowing the protein to break down and the skin to get extra crispy.
Creme fraicheor Blue Cheese dressing to cool the heat (optional)
Directions
If the chicken wings are not broken down for you, you’ll need to separate them unless you plan to keep them whole.Here’s a videoshowing you how to do it.
Put the chicken wings in a bowl and sprinkle with Baking Powder (NOT baking soda) and salt and toss to coat.
Place the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Bake in the oven at 250 for 30 minutes.
Turn the temperature up to 425 and bake another 40-50 minutes till just golden brown.
Place in a clean bowl and toss with some of the Carolina Kill Sauce. Don’t go wild, this stuff is really hot. Serve extra sauce for dipping by the particularly masochistic folks at your party.
Garnish with some sliced limes and parsley.

I really like the carolina reaper and it tastes good with chick even though I am a kid and in sixth grade
I created this hearty one pan dinner with Octoberfest in mind. Braising lentils with beer and sausage gives them an irresistible flavor. You'll be saying Danke Shoen!
This beloved Italian classic is a testament to the country's artful simplicity in the kitchen. As we delve into this cherished recipe, we'll honor the time-honored traditions of Italian cuisine by starting with dried cranberry beans, which infuse the dish with unparalleled depth of flavor and an exquisite, creamy texture.
In the Basque region of France they don't soak their signature Tolosa beans, they slowly braise them with just water, salt and olive oil. Time and heat to transform even the dense beans from dry to creamy masterpieces. This method works just as well for all heirloom beans! Read more about my bean braising experiments...
