      1. In a medium sauté pan, bring up to medium high heat. Once the pan is hot place oil in and move to medium heat.

      2. Place your spam slices in the pan to crisp into chips. About 2 minutes each side. (Sidenote: if you have a press use it to prevent the spam from curling and to create an even crispiness.)
      3. Once both sides are crispy, place in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 1tablespoon of Spiceology X Derek Wolf Adobo Honey blend. Set aside.

      4. In a small sauté pan on medium low heat, pour in honey and 2 tablespoons of Spiceology X Derek Wolf Adobo Honey blend, heat just enough for the honey to loosen up.

      5. Pour honey mixture over the spam chips and toss until the honey is evenly covering each chip.
      6. Serve with White Bean Dip (see recipe).
