Truly, chicken wings are part of the North American culture. Its hard to imagine that chicken wings have only been on the scene for that last fifty + years and that they were originally considered a throw-away part of the chicken. Prior to 1964, chicken wings were scraps leftover when the chicken was cut up. They were either discarded or sold for mere pennies to be made into soup.
I guess the answer to the question as to why we love chicken wings so much is simple. Their ability to mesh with just about any flavor combination or maybe its just the finger liking goodness that comes from eating with your hands.
A while back, Brion & I bought some new appliances for our home. The stove has numerous features I didn’t have on the previous one such as an air fryer. Today I thought I’d give it a whirl with these chicken wings … Yum!
