Notes
This recipe serves 12 and contains 0 net carbs per serving.
When adding the ghost pepper, pour it very slowly on the measuring spoon or it can quickly spill over and make the hot wings too spicy to consume.
If you don’t have a ¼ measuring spoon, use 3 – 4 drops.
This
splash guard
is a lifesaver if you are using a regular pan. It really prevents splashes and burns.
You can make it less spicy by using only ⅛ teaspoon of ghost pepper or increase the spiciness by using ½ tsp.
