J – I can’t resist smoking fowl of any kind … including these turkey wings. This recipe is a riff on our 2013 Thanksgiving Turkey Two Ways. Of course, I did Turkey Three Ways for a friend this Thanksgiving. No reason to stop at just two! The smoked turkey legs … Continue reading
C – Bang! Bang! Wow! That’s how I want people to react when they try these wings. It funny that I ended up saying bang bang wow! to these before anyone else did. I really enjoyed them. I actually lost count. I kept on thinking I was done eating, so … Continue reading
Update and Redux: C — Super Bowl couldn’t be complete without good, not-too-spicy chicken wings. These chipotle BBQ chicken wings will go well at any football party, or just eating them any night of the week. Delicious and a crowd pleaser. C – I set the football food bar pretty … Continue reading
