I can't believe Dean has not brought this to our attention and it appears LSU left it off the early morning update too.
NATIONAL CHICKEN WING DAY
CELEBRATED ANNUALLY ON JULY 29
The only chicken wings I have ever eaten have come from Popeyes Fried chicken, not much to celebrate I am afraid.
Geez, Chip, live a little! I love me some Buffalo Wild Wings...
What can I say, the warden doesn't let me out much. Maybe one day I will try a fancy wing dinner.
We actually make our own and use the BWW sauces. I do miss wings from the east coast, though, where every bar/restaurant had their own and they were all good. People don't do wings out here.
but our Mexican food is hit or miss. Unless you think Taco bell is good. Just like Dominoes isn't good pizza.
Dominoe's isn't pizza period. Then again, it made Tom Monaghan enough money to build his own town in south Florida (Ave Maria)
I got Mexican food out the gazoo here with everything from the best to the worst but no wings to amount to anything so we just cook them at home best we can, smoke them and pretty good but definitely the East Coast has it on the wings. Tried a Buffalo Wild Wings and that is enough to make you hate wings, tried Hooters and that is enough to make you hate Tits!! We also are limited on good pizza here but a couple of decent places. Had some sort of pizza in a place in Charleston last trip that was cooked in a $100,000 brick oven that was sure enough good. Agree Domino's is not even pizza.
Many years ago, before most any people had ever heard, about "buffalo wings", my younger sister came home after her first or 2nd year at the University of buffalo. she had us saving the chicken wings from whole chickens in the freezer. she deep fried these wings for about 12 - 16 minutes, just the wings no breading. In the mean time we we doing three other things. melting a stick of butter in a saucepan, and adding a bottle of Franks hot sauce. cutting up celery and carrot stick, and making a real good blue cheese dressing. wings come out of the pot, and dried on paper towels, than tossed into a big covered bowl with the hot/butter sauce, and then shaken for about a minute. wings were placed on a platter, served with the celery and blue cheese dressing. We were taught that it was important to dip the wings into the blue cheese dressing, and to restore sanity to our mouths, occasionally have a blue cheese dipped piece of celery or carrot. We thought she was nuts. This was 1979 or 1980 or so. after a few meals like this, we went out a bought an electric deep fat fryer. now you have the secret to making authentic buffalo wings. some folks add some ketchup to the sauce to reduce the heat.
