Sweet & Hot Chicken Sandwich
This week is all about sauces. Some for dipping, some for basting and some for drinking! Okay, they're not all sauces this week but, have you ever had a chicken wing that was dry & had no spice on it? what did it taste like? Answer, not a whole lot of anything. Sauce is sometimes as important as what it goes on, or with, or both. This sauce is a fan favorite over chicken wings at work but, I changed it up a little and used it in a chicken sandwich instead.
Cheers!
