I love chicken wings! Yet I rarely make them. Why? Because deep frying is difficult, messy, and often causes burns on my arms. I hope to own a deep fryer some day, but with the space in our kitchen, it is just not feasible at the moment.
But now that I discovered this recipe, chicken wings might become part of my dinner repertoire after all. The best part about this recipe is that it creates crispy wings by baking. I used Frank's RedHot sauce as suggested and turned out great.
While I was shopping for chicken I looked around for a blue cheese dip to go with, but couldn't find it, so I decided to make my own. This dip was nice and creamy, and not overwhelmed by the blue cheese flavour.
I made bruschetta to complete our bar-themed dinner. This recipe is one we've had for years now, and is our favourite. Two things that make this bruschetta unique are the addition of balsamic vinegar and sun-dried tomatoes, both of which add bursts of flavour. I'm especially in love with sun-dried tomatoes. It amazes me how heat from the sun can turn a simple tomato into something so delicious.
