Wing it in the hot tub

HOT tubs and romance go hand in hand.

But first you need a hot chick to get in there with you.

Fan the fires of desire with this hot pot of braised chicken wings.


The added kick of Chinese angelica in this herbal brew can help get the blood circulation going and give your potential hot-tub mate plenty to chew on.

Trouble is, these chicken wings may keep her so occupied, she may decide to skip the hot tub and you entirely.

In which case, make provisions for soaking solo on a Sunday night.

It isn't all that bad.

At least you can stretch your legs in there.
