Overly contrived recipes are usually a bad idea, but these
rosemary, ancho, and molasses glazed chicken wings really did come out very well,
despite the fact that those ingredients were only chosen because they spelled out
the word, “ram.” In case you’re not from around here, there’s a big football game
coming up, and the Los Angeles Rams are one of the teams involved. The other
team shall not be named.
In addition to serving as this year’s Super Bowl snack idea video,
it’s also a great tutorial for the easiest of all chicken wing methods, and
that would be the crowd pleasing, finger-messing “sticky wings.” The technique
simply involves soaking them in a sweet, spicy marinade, baking them wet, and then tossing
them with a finishing glaze.
That’s all there is to it, and this method will work no
matter which spices, or sweeteners you go with. The sky’s the limits, and it just
depending on what you like, and/or what you want to spell out. No matter what
goes into yours, I really do hope you give them a try soon. Enjoy!
