Today the Festive Foodies are celebrating National Chicken Wing Day. Host Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures asked: "Do you dry rub? Toss in sauce? Or just marinate and cook? How do you wing?"

Crispy Whiskey Wings

I have made a lot of different chicken wing recipes. I've even won recipe contests with my chicken wings. But, for this event, I wanted to do something with whiskey in the sauce. It was a hit!

Ingredients (serves 6-8)
  • 4 to 5 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and wings (tips discarded)
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Whiskey Mustard Sauce
  • 1 C chicken stock
  • 3 T whiskey
  • 1 to 2 T minced garlic (depending on how garlicky you like things)
  • 2 t ground mustard 
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper


Procedure
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place wings - skin side up - on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them for 45 to 50 minutes. They will be cooked through and the skin nicely browned and crisped.

While the wings roast,whisk all of the remaining ingredients together to in a large skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened.


When the wings are done, add them to the sauce. and toss to coat, using clongs...or tongs. Serve hot.

  1. You had me at whiskey. How do you make wings better? Add booze, of course.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
