WINGS ARE MY THING DUDE! By Connor St. John Ah, chicken wings. How I love thee. I have spent many days, entering all you can eat wings contests, and I've won a few. I have a trophy and 2 blue ribbons hanging on my mantle. Wings are my thing dude!
I have a crazy fast metabolism, because I'm 23 and my stomach is still a bottomless pit.
My mom used to compare me to one of the puppies in 101 Dalmatians. The little one, that always used to say "I'm hungry mother, I really am!"
I can eat a whole large New York style pizza or a whole loaf of bread, but if I can have chicken wings there is no other food in the world.
Chicken wings are my passion, well that, and anything sports related. It's sort of my addiction. I will watch amateur women's golf before I change to something non-sports related.
My favorite days are the day I have my friends over to watch a football or baseball game. For a long time, one of the guys would just pick up wings from the local restaurant around the corner, but they just weren't that good.
I'm the kind of guy who wants flavor. Some folks will tell you, "the hotter, the better" but not me. I believe that heat should be second to flavor. Problem is, that's REALLY hard to find. So, I searched around for some good chicken wing recipes to try on my own. I came across this website www.best-chicken-wings-recipes-ever.com and they ROCK! They've got a great collection of recipes!
Pretty much every variation of sauce you could ask for. Last weekend my friends all came over to watch the Olympics, and we made our first batch of chicken wings. I tried the 5X Pepper Chicken Wings recipe, and let me tell you, they were everything that I hoped for. Perfectly hot and spicy we all tried to out do each other; my friend Sam beat us. He had 10 before taking eating a fry. I only lasted to 5. It was awesome!
We're all getting together for the first regular season football game in a few weeks, and I'm determined to have mastered 3 of the website's chicken wing recipes by then.
Variety is always better. Mix and match; hot & spicy with sweet & tangy. The key to any good wings expedition is cold beer, a cool blue cheese dressing and fries. The blue cheese/beer/fries combo acts like the fire department and keeps the flames in your mouth from getting out of hand. Don't start the festivities without 'em!
Recipe for the perfect day:
Wing recipe from www.best-chicken-wings-recipes-ever.com Cold beer (I go for something light with the spicy stuff) Blue cheese (make sure it's dressing and that you have enough to really dig into) Fries (OK, you're already cooking wings, go easy on yourself and do some frozen fries like Ore Ida or something, tots work great too!)

Happy football season!
