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 I threw away the bones.
But, I would go back for more. So, I really lost count.
There goes my rule of keeping all the bones on my plate until I completely finish eating. It allows me to eat in moderation, and not overeat and feel guilty for eating so many after seeing the huge pile of bones on my plate.
Yup, I really overate on these. I ate them when they were just out of the oven … and then finished them off when no one else was eating them.
I figured why waste a storage container, if there was only three wings. So, I had to finish them. I didn’t want to waste any water washing another dish. California IS still in a drought, you know. I needed to help conserve water in some way you know.
Nope, not feeling guilty at all … may be a little guilty. But, they were so good.
Yup, they are addicting. I love wings and with a sweet, spicy, salty sour Vietnamese style sauce with lots of fresh herbs, why wouldn’t I love them. It’s my favorite type of sauce with my favorite part of the chicken. Why wouldn’t I love this recipe.
