Hi, Jon and list:
OK, I'll submit a couple:
1. Cherry chili chicken wings
2. I have a cherry chili chicken recipe that is delicious. It's
basically canned cherries, chili sauce and some onion. It's really good!
You could add some peppers. You could also add some red wine to the sauce.
3. Maple Bacon wings
4. I just love bacon! And I also love maple syrup! Maple-cured bacon
is delicious! So how about some chicken wings with bacon and maple syrup?
Just a couple of different takes.
Cheers,
Susan

Subject: [blindcooks] Brainstorming chicken wing flavors
With my recent success in making good oven-fried chicken wings, I've decided
to make a list of all the different flavors I want to either create or find
recipes for in the near future. I checked out the online menu at Buffalo
Wild Wings; a restaurant and sports bar Emily and I enjoy a great deal when
we have a little cash to spare. They have a large variety of different
flavors, but I managed to come up with about 10 that top my list so far. I
invite each of you to add other flavor ideas that are not mentioned here.
Here's my list so far:
1. Classic Buffalo. I know this is an old stand-by flavor, but I really
want to find the perfect balance between the Buffalo sauce and melted butter
for a nice medium heat that still lets that tasty vinegary flavor shine
through.
2. Barbecue. I wouldn't mind having a couple different flavors of
barbecue, such as smoky bourbon or something similar, but the sauce must be
made at home. I don't want any store-bought sauce for this.
3. Teriyaki. And by that I mean the simple flavors of soy sauce, sugar or
honey, fresh ginger, a touch of garlic and rice wine; nothing more. A touch
of heat would be OK, but I'd want to keep it classic.
4. Thai Curry. From what I remember of this flavor, it's a moderately-hot
and spicy flavor that uses either red or green curry paste as the base and
has a lime flavor as well.
5. Mango Habanero. This is one of my favorite flavors at the restaurant,
even though it's one of the hottest flavors on the menu. Mango is, hands
down, my favorite fruit, so it follows that I must have a recipe for the
perfect mango habanero glaze for wings.
6. Honey Mustard. Or, I'd settle for a less-sweet version, so long as the
primary ingredient in the glaze is mustard, such as mustard and herb or
something. But honey mustard would be a good place to start. The website
says they have a limited time flavor which I have not had for a mustard
bourbon glaze which sounds awesome.
7. Lemon Pepper. This is one of the dry rub flavors BWW offers, and since
I love the taste of lemon pepper seasoning on all kinds of things, I've got
to figure out how to cram that flavor into a chicken wing as well.
8. Garlic Parmesan. The food wishes website has a recipe for this exact
flavor that I'm anxious to try. He uses a lot of garlic and real Parmesan
cheese in the coating. Yum!
9. Caribbean Jerk. I think the name speaks for itself, so enough said.
10. Southwest Chipotle. BWW has a dry rub flavor they call desert heat,
but I have no idea what's in it, and since I love the flavor of chipotle,
I'll have to come up with something that has all my favorite Southwest
flavor. On that same note, I may also try a chipotle molasses glaze just to
see how it comes out.
These flavors are in addition to the orange marmalade and Hoisin sauce
recipe I posted earlier this week, and I'll probably come up with more. The
restaurant also has a salt and vinegar flavor, but I don't think I've ever
had that flavor before. If I like it, I'll have to figure out how to create
it at home. Again, if any of you come up with other flavor ideas, whether
for a glaze or a dry rub, please do share.
Jon
