This Tuesday, July 19th will mark 85 years since the official search for Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan was called off following their disappearance while attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Not only is it one of history's greatest mysteries but it also still manages to captivate the public almost a century later.
Join Chef Money as he dives into the life, flights, infamous disappearance and subsequent theories; as well as the everlasting legacy of a true feminist icon and female role model for untold amounts of young girls and women.
Since we'll be spending so much time in the air, alongside Amelia, the Chef has decided to cook up the PERFECT recipe - Wings. Not just any plain wing either... these will be barbecued and sauced up with the chef's own Tropical Tailspin BBQ sauce.
Cheers!

If you're looking for more of a kick, swap the jalapeños out for some scotch bonnets or habaneros.
