Ingredients

  • 11/2 pound(s) chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoon(s) almond butter
  • 1/4 cup(s) hot pepper sauce (with no added sugar or preservatives; may use 2 Tbsp tomato paste and an additional 2 Tbsp of olive oil as a milder alternative for 4 servings)

  • 2 teaspoon(s) olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) sea salt (optional)
