Cricket Final Wings

After a long and great cricket season my cricket team Bones Bolters win the league at last :-)

For celebrations we did what any group of blokes would do and that was to eat great food with some cold beer.
Don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for the tasting video and cricket action shots.

Thanks to Edgo and Misty for their wing support and taking on the tasting for the evening.

Wings Tandoori

Tandoori is one of my favourite Indian styled foods. I must admit I don’t have a Tandoor (oven used for making tandoori).
That said this dish turned out very well, but definitely felt like it was missing that magical ingredient. I hope to one day fully recreate some Tandoori Chicken the way it should be …

Ancho Fire Wings

I always enjoy cooking with new ingredients especially when it comes to chilli’s.
You can find out more about Ancho Chilli’s and it’s history here.

The chile is definitely not as hot as other chiles, however it does pack a deep flavour and aroma, which makes me understand why it’s such a popular Mexican Chilli.

Corny Corn Wings

It was bound to happen someday that I would come across a wing that I didn’t like. This is the one. That being said I still ate all of them.
I found the molasses was too strong and the whole recipe just lacked the full combination of flavours.
The smell was not something that I could not handle.
Extra from my journal when making these reads:
“Smells horrible looks horrible I hope this works”

Making Flavoured Butters

Learning how to make flavoured butter is not difficult and could ultimately change the way you use butter with food in the future.

It’s pretty straight forward really, all you do is soften some butter (DO NOT MELT) and then mix in whatever herbs and spice you like. Lastly you roll the butter in the clingfilm and put it in the freezer.
Then whenever you need some flavour added to a dish simply cut off a little section and melt with whatever it is you making.

As part of the Wings Across America book I’m cooking there are 6 wings butters all of which I made on the weekend and 4 of which I filmed.
Here are the first two recipes:
