Ever since I can remember, this delicious recipe was and continues to be a must in my home. We couldn’t possibly watch a soccer game or another sporting event on TV without enjoying my Aunt Carmenza’s famous chicken wings with malta, a very typical Latino nonalcoholic ale. As a family, we eagerly waited for the event to begin so we could start our delicious task: eating nonstop. These wings are meant to be eaten by hand, literally licking your fingers along the way. It’s a mystery why, but we thought they tasted better like this than if we ate them with a fork and knife like civilized people. My family is quite unique, isn’t it? Now this dish is one of my husband’s favorites. The only difference with how I make it now is that I use the slow cooker. The sauce turns out thicker, and although it takes a little longer, it’s much smoother and delicious. I hope you like them! “A touch of seasoning, a lot of creativity and tons of love”

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    I like cooking the chicken wings in a regular pot for 15 minutes, then discarding that water to remove a little of the chicken’s natural fat. Then I place them in the slow cooker right away.
  • tip 2
    You can add 2 tablespoons of plain tomato paste to make the sauce a little thicker.
  • tip 3
    This recipe can be served with french fries, fried cassava, tostones (fried green plantains), and white rice. And a very cold drink makes them even better.
