Wings…

We loved the baked honey chicken wings…

…here but eventually, the chef left and opened his own place here and of course, we were delighted when he started serving them…

…at his current location and needless to say, we ordered those to enjoy time and time again.

Of course, we have not been there for a while now and chances of our doing so are even less at this point in time as dining in is not allowed. So far, I have not dropped by to buy and take home to eat for two reasons mainly – one, I hardly ever go out and two, my missus can cook some very nice chicken wings…

…her own way.

I do not know what sauces she uses to marinate those wings but they really taste great – maybe she coats them with a bit of honey too sometimes but not so much as hers are usually not so sticky…

Actually, she has other recipes for chicken wings. A long time ago, she used to coat them with a lot of melted cheese and cereal (Nestum or bread crumbs) and put them in the oven to bake and yes, those were mighty popular when we served them at our home dinners.

I did mention in my blogpost not too long ago that these days, with a lot of time on her hands, she may want to try out some new recipes. and the other day, she baked these…

– chicken wings marinated in teriyaki sauce, coated with sesame seeds and yes, they were very nice but I did feel that the yangneyom chicken (양념치킨) or Korean fried chicken…

…wings that she cooked the other day were nicer but those were deep fried and these were baked.

Talking about chicken wings, do you have a preference for any particular part? I, for one, will always eat the drumette which actually has a lot more meat but it is more like chicken breast. We usually reserve the flat or wingette, the middle part, that is…

…for my girl to enjoy because of the nicer texture of the meat and we do not bother to eat the tip as there isn’t much meat there, just skin.

That day, when my missus cooked these chicken wings for our meals, she also cooked some chicken rice…

…to go with them. We enjoyed it and that sure saved us the trouble of having to go out and buy some home to eat. With the pandemic dragging on and on, it’s best to just #staysafe #staywell #stayhome.
