These are top notch chiles, fire roasted, seeded and then flash frozen….

I love chicken wings! I love them so much that I purchase wings in bulk. You can never have too many wings. In my opinion the best way to cook a wing is over an open flame on the grill. That way you get crispy skin and that smokey caramelized flavor that you can not…
