The Birth of an angry pair
Had been brought up in a busy Miami kitchen, and it was here that chef Javier Torres set out to take an otherwise average chicken wing to new heights by coming up with the idea of the habanero wing sauce. Remembered by the twinge of the Latin American flavors of childhood, Javier combined sweet mangoes with hot habaneros and achieved the sauce that is rather sweet but has a heat that will burn.
