Serving Suggestions
If I’m serving these sweet and spicy chicken wings as an appetizer, my zesty ranch dip or this super flavorful peanut sauce are great accompaniments. If I’m preparing the wings for a weeknight meal, I like to add a fresh and crispy easy cucumber salad with a side of simple steamed rice.
