Peperone crusco is a sweet dried pepper typical of Calabria and Lucania in Italy, and it's a real asset in the kitchen. If you can't find it, you can substitute sweet paprika. This recipe is a twist on Buffalo wings, using sweet pepper powder (Calabrian sweet pepper powder). The dish has a beautiful deep red color, is not spicy at all, but is very flavorful (with garlic, sugar, and vinegar). It was so good I forgot to take pictures!
