Football and wings are becoming as American as apple pie and coffee. Toss in some friends, and you’ve got the ingredients for a perfect winter day.

Felischa Scott of the 1200 block of South 34th Street makes face-puckering Lava Wings that live up to their name. After your eyes have watered and you’ve guzzled a ton of water to sooth the heat that comes from the Tabasco, hot sauce and cayenne that coats the wings, settle in for a ton of Bowl games. Just don’t warn your guests the heat is on — let them find out for themselves.

Lischa’s Lava Wings

Ingredients:
5 pounds of chicken wingettes

1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper

2 cups of cooking oil

1 stick of margarine

8 ounces of hot sauce

1 tablespoon of Tabasco

1/4 cup each of honey and maple syrup

Directions:
Season the chicken with the peppers and salt. Fry in the oil in a large skillet until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Melt the margarine with the hot sauce, Tabasco, honey and syrup. Shake the chicken and margarine mixture in a bowl with a tight lid until the wings are evenly coated.

Serves eight to 10 people.
