Who doesn’t like chicken wings? It is very delicious, but it is very troublesome to make at home. That is, until air fryers came onto the modern kitchen scene.
Cooked without oil or cooking spray, these chicken wings are super crispy in their own fat, making them a healthier alternative, especially if you just season them with salt and pepper. The secret to crispy chicken wings is baking powder!
We love this teriyaki sauce. Instead of marinating chicken wings, toss them in warm teriyaki sauce after cooking. It’s not too sticky, not too sweet, and I think you’ll be addicted to it.
This wine isn’t necessarily the best pairing for this recipe, but I wanted to share this exciting wine project (plus, it’s fun to drink while cooking!).
Based in the Okanagan Valley, Q&A is a premium wine project by Hollywood actor and director Jason Priestley, owner of local winery Winemakers CUT, Michal Mosney, and media personality and broadcaster Terry David Mulligan. Together these three friends share a great passion for wine and together he has been involved in all levels of the BC wine industry.
Everyone remembers for his starring role in Beverly Hills 90210, Priestley was part of the team that grew the Black Hills Winery into one of the most celebrated wineries in the Southern Okanagan. Black Hills was sold to Andrew Peller Limited in 2017.
“Even after the sale, we continued to search for that particular terroir that would allow us to create an unparalleled Bordeaux-style blend. “Everywhere you look, all roads lead to one answer, and that answer again lies in the Okanagan.” The difference this time is in the details that focus on elegance and finesse.”
