A Thing for Wings

An anonymous commenter has asked about our recommendations for wings. A wonderful suggestion *commence drooling*.

Mo and I have a definite soft spot for Asian-style chicken wings - the sort with little or no batter/breading. Just dropped right into the delicious oil, so all your mouth tastes is deep-fried chicken skin and extremely hot (watch yo' tongue!) chicken meat. Fantastic stuff.

I have a theory that since there is so little batter, one feels a little less guilty about eating it. I mean, I know I feel better after eating some of my parents' fried chicken versus a KFC drumstick. Not that I don't get a craving for KFC from time to time, but you really can't go wrong with something that goes so well with sweet 'n' sour sauce.

Mo and I will continue to discuss our thoughts on wings and where to go to get some good ones. Perhaps we will start a local search for the best wings. I used to do this with turkey dinners, so it'll be good to pick up the routine again.

I'm not going to leave the veggies out of this one: Golden Era Vegetarian (http://www.goldeneravegetarian.com/) has amazing chicken drummettes. Pick 'em up if you're in San Francisco. Golden Era also has a sister city in downtown Oakland - Golden Lotus - but I've yet to try their version. Maybe we'll make that one of our future Wing Stops (har har).

We'll keep you posted.
