This document provides recipes for spicy summer dishes, ranging from mild to very hot. A Hawaiian BBQ chicken wrap uses pineapple and herbs for mild heat. Guy Fieri's fireball buffalo fries use cayenne pepper, paprika and cinnamon whiskey for intense heat. Southern hot corn can be made spicy by adding hot sauce, jalapeños or salsa. Sweet chili chicken kabobs and Cajun Philly cheesesteaks both allow the cook to control the level of spiciness from sweet and sassy to very hot.

store them in a bunch in a bag in the

cheese steak. You can turn it up a
notch by adding hot sauce to your
liking.
