Spicy chicken wings

I love chicken guys….well loved chicken and these are by far the best fried chicken wings I have ever tasted. I’ve been on this vegetarian journey for a while and have axed chicken out of my diet completely but, I thought to myself, that’s not reason not to share an amazing recipe. So, for all of my chicken lovers out there this ones for you.  This recipe embodies everything I once loved about fried chicken.  It has levels of flavor (thanks to marinating), it’s super crunchy, and spicy! I hope you all enjoy this gem as much as me and my family do.
