Spicy Chicken Wings

Serrano is a type of hot pepper that grows in the spring and summer where temperatures get around 75 degrees and will be ready to harvest in about 3 months. Serrano peppers can be used in sauces, or chilis and can also be fried, blanched, and grilled, peppers also work well on chicken wings. It’s nice to have some sort of hot sauce on your chicken wings for a bit of heat if you like it. For this recipe it will be cooked in a slow cooker.
