Chicken Hot Wings Kebabs recipe by the BBQ Pit Boys

I don’t know why I’ve never heard of a Hot Wing Kebab. Awesome idea, easy and cheap cooking for a crowd.

Ram Wings – Chicken Wings Glazed w/ Rosemary Ancho Molasses – Food Wishes

Trust me when I tell you, you can rely on Chef John from Food Wishes to deliver the good stuff when it comes to chicken wings. And what a flavour combo.

Note: I’m not from the US (but my husband is) so I did try and research the origin of Ram Chicken..yeah I couldn’t find anything. Ram actually refers to the football team The Los Angeles Rams.
