Today, so far, is perfection!

I was finally able to get back to the gym since Hurricane Harvey hit and now I'm sitting outside drinking an almond milk cinnamon latte with a cool … YES cool … breeze blowing as I work. I actually had to put a jacket on because I started to get a little cold, which was glorious! These are my favorite days. Fall days. They have always been my favorite, especially when I lived in the Midwest. In Wisconsin, I loved the weather this time of year. The changing color of the leaves is irreplaceable in my mind. Each year was a different. Each tree was different. Each leaf had a different shade. It was like God was painting this amazing masterpiece and we got to watch it form.

Something about sitting outside makes me feel recharged. To feel the cool breeze on my skin gently blowing my hair. Or to feel the warmth of the sun on the beach while hearing the waves crash. Our world is absolutely beautiful. Sometimes we just forget to get outside and enjoy it. But when we do it's refreshing for the soul in the deepest parts.

On a more serious note. The first NFL game of the year was yesterday which means it is "go time" this weekend y'all! Packers are on at 3:25pm and the Cowboys play the Sunday night game! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? Our all time favorite during football season are Chicken Wings! And let me tell you, I make some BOMB chicken wings!

Are chicken wings healthy?

If you cook them right they can be healthier than the chicken wings you get at a restaurant. This chicken wing recipe is baked instead of fried and renders out of the fat as they bake. Because they are homemade, you know exactly what goes into them as opposed to not knowing the salt content or oil. I'd recommend homemade instead of restaurant quality any day if you're wanting a healthy chicken wing recipe.

Do chicken wings need to be thawed before cooking?

First off, I highly recommend buying fresh chicken wings. But if you can't buy fresh chicken wings, then yes, allow frozen wings to thaw before cooking them. This will ensure you have moist not dry wings in the end. Plus seasonings, oils and sauce adhere better to thawed wings than frozen wings.

How do I get crispy wings?

The trick to getting crispy wings is putting them under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes after they are finished baking. No coating them with flour or baking soda. Just crank the heat up and place your wings until the broiler to let the skin get nice and crispy!

How to you make barbecue wings?

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Add chicken wings to a large bowl. Pat chicken dry. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of canola oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat all the chicken. Place chicken on a wire rack lined baking sheet. (if you don't have a wire rack, use tin foil)
  3. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping the chicken after 20 minutes.
  4. Turn the Broiler on to HIGH. Place chicken under broiler for 8-10 minutes, until browned.
  5. In the meantime, heat a medium sauce pan to medium heat. Add BBQ sauce, honey, stone ground mustard and sriracha sauce. Stir and bring to a simmer, let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Remove chicken from oven. Place in a large bowl, pour the Honey BBQ sauce over the chicken wings. Using a pair of tongs, toss the wings to coat all of them with the sauce.

The process has taken me a while to perfect. But now that I've nailed the texture they come out flawless every time. All I have to do is change up the sauce for whatever mood I'm in!

And today it was Honey BBQ. This sauce has a slight tang to it from the mustard, sweetness from the honey and a tiny kick because I decided to add Sriracha at the last minute. You are absolutely going to love it and lick every bite of sauce off those sticky fingers!

Bon Appetit y'all and happy weekend!
