July 29th is National Chicken Wing Day, and to celebrate I have brought home a dozen Golden BBQ Wings from the Maryland Mallet and Smokehouse Pub above Westminster, MD. These wings are special to me, because I learned the story of their creation. The sauce for them is a mustard based sauce that a cook had left over from some baked chicken. Because of this, I can eat a bunch of the Golden BBQ Wings and they don't shoot up my blood sugar, which is important to me as a diabetic. So in honor of National Chicken Wing Day I decided to celebrate with the Golden BBQ Wings. Enjoy your favorite chicken wings today.

My daughter made some, didn't know about the "holiday." We air fry ours from plain raw frozen (15min @ 250 degrees, then 20min @ 400) because they're actually pretty inexpensive that way. A 10lb bag is less than $20 here while the "heat and serve" hot wings are usually $5/lb or more.

Cook, put em in a Tupperware with Frank's, some pepper flakes, and maybe a second hot sauce for additional kick, lid on, shake, and pour it out on a plate. I do blue cheese but no one else in the family cares for it. After a beer or three, nothing in the world sounds better than a plate of hot wings.
 
I'm a wing man, I do love the way some folks make those little drumsticks out of the larger chunk of meat. I can probably eat a pound of wings and still be hungry, two pounds and some nice cole slaw is all I need. I like them little chickens too, game hens....I can eat two of them at a sitting. I'd sooner eat the wings as any other part of the bird, especially them mini drumsticks they make by adding more meat from the breast area. I don't necessarily care for any of the sauces them throw on them or roll the parts around in and cook, I just like them roasted with a nice seasoning.
 
My dad was a wing man. Any kind of bird, didn't matter, he wanted those wings. He was pretty sensitive to spicy dishes, he considered pepperoncini "hot". So, he never got into the buffalo wings thing. Before the wing craze, he loved the cheap packages of wings at the store. He'd get a couple big packages and grill them up. Eat the leftovers cold out of the fridge. Then wings got popular, and the price went up. He was a little miffed to say the least. :)
 
And as a Buffalonian born and raised here you don’t eat wings with ranch!
Bleu cheese or nothing
 
My wife bought her brother some Buffalo chicken wings once. As God is my witness, he said he didn't know buffaloes had wings.

And her family wonders why I won't come around them.
