Some Like It Hot Chicken With Corn Succsatash

I had a craving for wings from a nearby eatery but opted to whip up a wholesome alternative using the ingredients on hand in our fridge and freezer. We had some juicy corn on the cob, various peppers, red onions, cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Hot sauce and blue cheese are must-haves in our kitchen. The dish was simple and fast to prepare, and I definitely plan to make it again soon.
