Crispy on the outside, while juicy and moist within, Bon Temps Grill’s Spicy Mango and Peach Duck Wings are a unique twist on the familiar wing appetizer. The wings are tossed in a just-spicy-enough mango and peach sauce and served with a side of slaw made from fresh jicama — a sweet, root vegetable originating from Mexico. Priced at $7.50, the wings can be shared or enjoyed as an entrée. Until Aug. 15, mention EatLafayette and choose either $5 off dinner with the purchase of $25 or more, or half-priced bottle wine.
