These mustard-infused wings are a perfect snack when watching sporting events. If you want them spicier, simply add some hot red chile powder to the marinade.
Sichuan “Chili”
No chili fan in their right mind is going to think of what I served up at the 2019 Bartels H-D Chili Cook-Off as a legit chili. That’s fine. I make variants like this for the folks in their wrong mind, like myself.
Indonesian Peanut-Chile Sauce
Hot and spicy peanut sauce is a standard condiment in Indonesia. This sauce is not only used with satays but as a basis for unusual curries and as a dipping sauce.
Beer Pork Chops on the Grill
Almost any excuse to grill with beer is a good excuse and these grilled pork chops with a ginger kick are no exception.
Peppered Walnuts
Hot nuts are quite the rage these days, with commercial brands of hot and spicy pistachios, pecans, and peanuts now available. I add my two cent’s worth with this recipe for walnuts.
Tangy Chicken Chili
Heaven forbid you should have leftover chicken in need of a good home. If so, the chili pot is nice and warm.
Orange Chicken with Sundried Peppers
Wacky Wok, my favorite Chinese place in West LA, makes a great spicy orange chicken. This homemade version from Fiery Foods and Barbecue Central, though, is far better.
