Joyner's Hot Wings
By Chris Joyner, of Joyner's Hot Pepper Powders
Ok folks, I kept these straight forward and simple to stay true to the flavor. I used fresh wings and they were deep fried at 375 for roughly 9 minutes.
Here is a common step for all 3 batches:
¼ to ½ TBS of unsalted butter in a pan and ½ bottle of sauce
MILD
½ bottle of LDHS mild + ½ tsp. of Joyner’s Jalapeno blend powder + ¼ to ½ TBS of butter.
Heat on low until warm and cover wings
MEDIUM
½ bottle of LDHS medium + ½ tsp. of Joyner’s Scotch Bonnet powder + ¼ to ½ TBS of butter.
Heat on low until warm and cover wings
HOT
½ bottle of LDHS hot + ½ tsp. of Joyner’s Naga Morich powder + ¼ to ½ TBS of butter.
Heat on low until warm and cover wings
There are many combinations to achieve amazing wings using LDHS. I love the sauces without adding anything but when I want elevated heat (almost always) I will add our powders.

Lucky Lemon Chicken
By Chef Dorothy
This roast chicken is made extra special with a bit of help from lemons and a little luck – Lucky Dog Red, that is!2 tablespoons Lucky Dog Hot Sauce - Red
1 lemon, zested and cut in half
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 3-pound roaster chicken w/o giblets, rinsed and patted dry
1 tsp. kosher salt
6 sprigs Italian parsley, or other favored herb
1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into ½” discs – discard tip and root ends
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
Position your oven rack on the bottom half of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, combine LDHS Red, lemon zest and butter. Set aside.
Sprinkle inside and out of chicken with the salt.
Place the parsley, and one half of the lemon, inside the cavity of the chicken.
Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine.
Loosen the skin of the chicken with your fingertips, and then distribute the LDHS butter -mixture under the skin.
Your roasting pan or baking dish should have at least 1 inch of space between the chicken and the pan you are using. Place onion discs on the bottom of the pan – they will be acting as the roasting rack for your chicken.
Place chicken on top of onion discs in the roasting pan, and add chicken broth.
Squeeze juice from last half of lemon into the roasting pan as well.
Place roasting pan uncovered in the oven for 15 minute, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees for 45 minutes and check for doneness; when the juice runs clear at the thigh, or registers 160 at the thigh with a meat thermometer, it is done. Continue to cook as needed. Let rest for ten minutes before carving.
