Without a doubt, my favorite way to add a bit of heat to any bottled BBQ sauce is with chopped jalapeño peppers. It adds a mild spicy depth of flavor without burning your mouth off. For these chicken wings, I’ve balanced out the heat with some sweetness from my favorite fruit, fresh strawberries. This semi-homemade barbecue sauce is spicy and tangy and perfect for a big batch of chicken wings…and just check out the color on these wings!
