You haven’t lived until you’ve eaten an entire crispy chicken wing grilled over smoky charcoal with cumin and chili. The chicken skin’s fattiness melds perfectly with the savory spices, leaving you salivating, wanting more. Remember those XFF chicken wings? This has the same peppery notes but with the added aroma of smoky charcoal and a heavy dusting of spice.
