What’s Going On?

Lately, I’ve been trying to cook up different types of recipes of chicken wings. I am in hot pursuit in finding the flavor that I want to be known for making. The decisions are hard; Should I make them sweet? Should I make the salty? Should I make the spicy? or Should I make the sweet, salty, and spicy? The different ways you can prepare wings are mind boggling and so far I’ve only touched the surface of it.

In this second wing experiment, I came up with six different flavors. The flavors and styles that I tried were (starting from the bottom and rotating clockwise): Salt and Pepper Wings (spicy), Asian Honey BBQ Wings, Soy Sauce/Sugar/Spices Wings,  Salt and Pepper with 5 spice battered Wings, Jamaican Wings, and Spicy Fried Chicken Wings.

All of the wings that I’ve tried were pretty good, but in this experiment by far the Salt and Pepper Wings won the competition. Something about the fine balance of spicy and salty had just won me over. It is probably one of my favorite styles to prepare any type of meat. For example, if I were to order in a Chinese restaurant I’d typically order either the Salt and Pepper Squid, Salt and Pepper Spareribs, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and of course Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. You might ask would I order all of them at the same meal. The answer is probably not, but on occasion I have ordered at least two of the above.

So far the two experiments I have done so far have been wings that were deep fried. They probably are not the best for you, but I believe they are the best tasting wings you could have. In the past, I’ve made my share of baked chicken and  teriyaki chicken or Chinese marinaded chicken over the stove, but in my opinion nothing can beat the deep fried aspect of cooking.

For now this has been my second wing experiment, but I hope to bring you different types of foods whenever I get the chance.
