Hot wings are to the Super Bowl as swimming is to fish-it is the natural order of things. For some of us, hot wings are a problematic food for one reason or another. They are messy to eat and it can be difficult to remove all of the meat from the bone. I am one of the people who doesn't particularly care for hot wings. While I love the spicy flavor, eating them is too much work for too litttle meat. For those of you who feel the same way, I present to you my spicy chicken chili. It is a delicious, easy to eat alternative to hot wings and it combines two always popular Super Bowl Party foods: wings and chili.
