I remove the wing tips but leave the drum and "other" section attached. This makes for easier grilling and better eating. Then I put them in a tupperware or ziplock and apply my "herbs" liberally and give a shake. I grill them over somewhat high heat turning every so often to avoid any severe charring and to keep the grease from dripping off. Justin always jokingly asks me if I'm gonna cook my wings with special sauce. I think at one point he actually thought it was a sauce cause the wings are coated in a bit of grease that melds with the rub, but since he just says it cause he knows it pisses me off. I leave them on the grill until I think they're ready which is about 15 minutes or so.
I've also taken a liking to broccoli salad as of late. In the beginning I browsed some recipes online and instead of using one of them I more or less melded two of them, including things I thought appropriate and excluding others. Mine has broccoli florets, dried cranberries (rather than raisins), celery, crumbled bacon, red onion, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, mayo (quite a bit in fact), sugar, honey, salt, pepper and sliced almonds (honey roasted in this case). This is now one of my favorite ways to enjoy broccoli and I always make a lot extra as its great leftover and keeps for about a week in the fridge.
Having my delicious cold salad and hot spicy grilled chicken wings I felt the abnormally warm weekend was complete. I also polished off a bit of cheap whiskey which made it even that more enjoyable. I'm so ready for the end of winter so I can get to the grill more often. For now though, the cold weather is back.
*Note there is no space in "deTX." I used to write this under my street art as a subtle hint of my history in Texas but didn't include a space as I thought that was too obvious.
