Spicy Chicken with Chilis

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This chicken with chilis will get your motor running! It’s got a real kick.   I love spicy food like this even if I have to pay for it later.  “You never learn”  says my poor abused stomach.  This is worth any digestive upset you may or may not encounter.

    This looks delicious…I don’t eat foods that are very spicy and my man doesn’t eat anything that has peppers so it wouldn’t be for us.
