Spring is coming fast and that means spring training to get back in Summer shape. This is the time of year where if you haven't fallen off the New Year's Resolution wagon you keep going and otherwise it's time to kick it back into gear. All is not lost. A 12 ounce bottle of Guinness Draught only has 125 calories and this recipe for healthier hot wings will blow your mind. You cook them on the grill.

Fire Brand Buffalo Chicken Wings
4 pounds chicken wings (skin removed)
1 cup Fire Brand Original Habanero Hot Sauce
1/2 cup Louisiana hot sauce (Franks Red Hot, Cholula, Tapatio, Tabasco, up to you)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can of Diet Dr. Pepper®
Cayenne pepper or to taste
Fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 chopped habanero pepper*
Light Blue cheese dressing
Celery sticks
Preheat grill to medium. Mix Fire Brand Habanero Hot Sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, Dr. Pepper, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a large pot and place on the grill. Bring the sauce just to a boil then add wings. Simmer for 10 minutes then move wings directly onto the grill for 10 minutes, turning after 5. Return wings to the sauce and repeat for about an hour until the sauce is thick and the meat is falling off of the bones. Serve wet with extra sauce, celery sticks and light blue cheese dressing for dipping.

*for the hottest suicide chicken wings, add a chopped up habanero pepper to the sauce and have plenty of water on hand. If you don't want it quite that hot use jalapeno for extra heat that isn't as extreme as a habanero.

You can also bake these wings in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes. This recipe is great for longer days, March Madness, and baseball opening day. Make sure you have plenty of napkins.
