Chicken Wings with Spicy Peach Dipping Sauce

These chicken wings can be either grilled or deep fried. The sauce is a nice combination of spicy and sweet. I use Carb Clever canned peaches for the recipe, as most canned peaches have sugar added (even "in juice" has a lot of extra sugar). Alternatively, rinse canned peaches really well, add a cup of water, and sweeten to taste - it's probably only a few grams of carb more for the whole recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 "party pack" of chicken wings - about 2.5-3 lbs
• Seasonings for chicken: salt, pepper, chili powder
• 1 can "Carb Clever" peaches or well-rinsed canned peaches in juice plus 1 C water
• 1 teaspoon spicy chili powder, or up to 1 Tablespoon of a milder one
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce

Preparation:

For wings: Season well with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Either grill or deep fry them. You want crispy skin. I grill them over direct heat till skin is crispy, and if they aren't done, cook a little longer over indirect heat.

For dipping sauce: If you have a stick-type blender, put the peaches in the pot and blend them till smooth. If you don't, blend them in a blender or food processor first. Add the rest of the ingredients, and simmer until reduced to about half. Adjust the seasonings.
