HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS
I made eight pounds of those chook wings closing weekend for a circle of relatives birthday party and they have been gone inside 15 minutes. I suggest serving them with raspberry mango margaritas and masses of napkins. Sticky palms and faces are simply a part of the package.
Those wings have so much going on! so many flavors and textures bursting in every chunk. They’re ideal for people like me who need a wing with extra flavor than just hot. i love spice, however simplest whilst it’s paired with flavor. Ya feel me?
For this honey garlic sauce you’ll need: honey (duh), garlic (duh x2), balsamic vinegar, butter, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, sriracha, lime juice, and beaten purple pepper flakes.
You’re going to want four pounds of chicken wings. if you’re squeamish (like me), or just short on time, I endorse asking your butcher to split the wings from the drumsticks for you.
