If there is one food that I will never turn down, it is wings. As a huge football fan, nothing screams game day more than wings. They are the ultimate party food and a universal appetizer for a crowd. So, when I was challenged by Sam’s Fresh Salsa to create the perfect appetizer, my Mango Pineapple Honey Jalapeño Wings hit the spot.

I used the Mango Pineapple flavor with honey, jalapeño, lime and cilantro to create an appetizer that is a bold, fresh, no-fuss recipe – everything you want in a perfect appetizer and it is perfect for game day, a party or football season!

PREPARATION

To begin, I cooked my wings until they were nice and crispy. I like my wings a little more well done but feel free to cook them to your desired doneness.

Once the wings were cooked, I tossed them in the mango pineapple honey mixture, making sure to coat the wings thoroughly. To make the mango pineapple honey mixture, I blended a container of Sam’s Fresh Mango Pineapple Salsa with honey, lime, cilantro and jalapeños to create the perfect spicy and sweet coating.
