With the Superbowl right around the corner I figured it was my food blogger duty to post something football-y. Not that I know the first thing about foot ball (I can however talk about car, and fishing all day long), but you know it’s my duty.

I actually really like to make these wings in the summer, since cooking wings on the grill is easy and it adds a little delicious smokiness to them that you don’t get in the oven, but in February we like to use the oven right?

What I like best about making wings at home is the array of sauces that I can use on them so that each wing can be its own flavor. Maybe that should be a party theme, sauce your own wing night? Though, that could get a little messy.

I’m rambling, I know. Let’s get back to the wings.

My favorite wing sauces right now are this one (obviously), Sweet Chili, Garlic Parmesan (coming soon), Curry, Garlic & Herb, Asian glazed, and standard barbecue.
