CHICKEN WING MANIA!

Morning everybody… its early and let me tell you the last 24 hours has been absolutely awful! I have a faulty breaker that is keeping my main fridge off… so it’s on a heavy-duty extension cord to another outlet. I went to e-file my taxes and they won’t let me without pre-paying the filing fees (which I normal just have deducted from my refund). I sent the hubs to the store for milk and stuff and one of the tires on the car popped and the spare was flat! Then last night a water pipe under my sink broke and there was water everywhere and my landlord won’t be out until this morning to fix it! I JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!!! OK, now that I have let all that built up pressure out… I did manage to get a bunch of things freecycled that I removed from storage. I also got a bunch of things thrown away that were not salvageable. I did manage to get the dishes done before we had to shut the water off. Not much else went right yesterday! I’m hoping for a better today! Have to try to inflate the spare enough to limp to the tire shop… so I can get a new one and take my mom to the grocery store. Plus the hubs has another interview with an offshore oil rig company which pays a lot better than the money he’s making now. So hopefully today will be fix it day! I’m also going to probably pull a bunch more stuff out of storage!

OK as promised … hot wings bonanza day! Here are a bunch of recipes for some various flavors of wings. Cooking methods are a mix of slow cooker and oven, grill or fryer… just take your pick! Or try them in another method… that’s the fun of recipes! Trying new ones, changes and experiments if you don’t like something! Enjoy!

Barbecue Chicken Wings

Ingredients

3 lbs whole chicken wings
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

*If you deep fry the chicken before you throw it in the crock pot, and leave it be for awhile, it definitely hits the "falls off the bone" state.

*3 pounds of uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for the whole chicken wings. and omit the first step.
