Buffalo Chicken Drumsticks

We’ve upped the ante by swapping traditional chicken wings for skinned chicken drumsticks baked in the oven for a new twist on good old buffalo chicken, perfect for appetizers and Super Bowl parties!

There’s a scent of pigskin in the air. No, not cooking. But literally flying through the air.

It’s Super Bowl, baby!

And what do we do when we Super Bowl? We eat. A lot. And nothing that’s good for us.

Are we talking chicken wings? Well, sometimes. But these days, we like the leg even more. Meatier, more tender. More gooder.

This chicken drumstick recipe is my man’s signature chicken recipe. It’s a teeny-tiny bit healthier thanks to his tenaciousness in removing the skins from the chicken and then baking instead of frying these meaty devils.

Pass the napkins please. And don’t forget the homemade blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Baked Chicken Wings with Thai Peanut Sauce

These chicken wings may be skinless but they still bake up nice and crispy in the oven, and are served with a creamy Thai peanut sauce that’s to die for.

I had a hunch chicken wings might fill the bill.

A hunch that these skinless, baked wings (say what? healthy-ish even?) might fit right into a round of lounging about with friends and family who are perfectly positioned with beverage in hand while the big game rambles on in the background because we’re all ignoring the commentators and waiting for the commercials anyway.

The commercials. And the food. It’s all about the food.

I say I had a hunch, but I really wanted to know, so I asked you what you craved on Facebook and here’s what you had to say.

This is a recipe that begs for the reach-in. Where there will be no penalties or unfair, uncalled for whistles, except for that holy-cow-show-me-more-low-slow-whistle that you only hear on construction sites when a hot chick ambles by.

Woot-twoo. Whistle away. These Baked Chicken Wings with Thai Peanut Sauce deserve every pursed lip.continue to the recipe… about Baked Chicken Wings with Thai Peanut Sauce

Chipotle Honey Baked Chicken Wings

Maybe it’s because I live a relatively drama-free life that I’m so obscenely attracted to spicy food.

I’m just not one to drum up a whole lot of drama. I don’t create illnesses to obsess over. I don’t overthink the obvious. I pretty much just let things go. Just get over it. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

So when it comes to spicing up my life, I leave it to the happenings going on in the kitchen.
