Fiery Pupu Wings

This is a take on a recipe that I once enjoyed at a local karaoke-type lounge in our neighborhood. Sadly, the lounge closed a few years back, but I still get hungry for their famous wings.
The original recipe was a bit more on the sweet side, but for me, I like it a bit spicy.Feel free to use less heat in your recipe.
