For the Love of Wings
Around the world people like you and me consume spicy foods. It's traditional and part of many cultures. Spice isn't just heat, It is flavor that makes our taste buds dance. It adds a kick to any kind of food and if done properly you will be able to enjoy your savory dish. Spice isn't something to be afraid of, but something loved.
Iconic Duo
Nothing has ever paired better together than the classic hot wings. Crispy wings drenched in any sauce imaginable; from sweet to basically flames straight from hell. Whatever your craving you can never forget the classics.
History on Wings
There are different stories speculating where buffalo wings originated from. The most well known claim speculates that buffalo wings were created in Buffalo, New York by Teressa Bellissimo who owned a bar with her husband Frank. No one knows when during that time she created them, or the incident in which she made them but we will be forever grateful for this american staple.
What all of us do know is that buffalo wings are amazing and its growth and popularity continue to fill the tummies of friends and enemies.
Variations
Buffalo wings come in two forms - Bone in or boneless.
The classic way is to eat it with the bone in because it adds a different flavor; It's indescribable (but you can be the judge of that). Whereas other people prefer boneless, in this way it is easier to just pop them into your mouth and get lost in flavor town. Either way prepare to get messy because this is a messy but delectabe treat.
There are not only different types of wings but also different flavor variations. You can choose a wet sauce to coat your wings but you also have the option of choosing a dry rub. Or like me, you can have them dry with your sauce on the side!
- Wet: Anything from bbq to death sauce
- Dry-rub: Seasonings like lemon pepper or cajun spices
Scoville Scale
The scoville unit is nothing to shake your head at. It is real and it does exist. This is the chart that measures a peppers hotness; It ranks from not hot (0) to extreme hotness (15,000,000-16,000,000).
