Teriyaki Wings with a ghost pepper

This is the first time I've cooked with a ghost pepper, I found them at the grocery store last week. The heat seems sharper but less enduring than habanero/scotch bonnet - I liked them!

I fried up half an onion, and a small amount of pasilla pepper (iirc) in some sesame oil, threw in the ghost pepper after only a couple of minutes. I sampled it a little (the pepper) and was a lot less scared of it than the first time. I didn't wear gloves or anything. I wasn't sure if it'd give off noxious gas and after a while I even smelled the steam coming off when I was making the sauce.

Gasser wings - pulled when I saw 196f. Hit them with S&P before throwing them on the grill. Grill temp was ~475F, 12 min / flip, pulled after another 12 minutes (a little over 24 minutes on the grill).

I was happy to see I still had some homemade ranch, I thought I was going to have to use store bought:

Nice flavor, light bite (heat wise), no extra care required for me. I'll try these again.
 
I made wings last week with a similar recipe. Ghost pepper with teriyaki and sesame oil. My wife thought they were my best yet. I didn't use too much ghost pepper. Only one slice out of a pepper and I minced it Very good though. I bought more wings to make them again this week. Yours look great too. I like the ghost chili. Just have to use it in moderation.
 
Those look ...............spicy. Nice plate of wings Clint. We had a ghost pepper plant in our garden last year, my 7 year old daughter picked it out because she wanted "ghost peppers". I tried to talk her out of it but that went nowhere. That was the best producing plant in the garden and we did not use one of the peppers.
