Chicken wings. Delicious bites of succulent chicken meat that easily falls off the bone, covered in a delicious marinade or flavorsome seasoning. How can something so simple be so moreish? I don’t have the answer to that but I do know that I often get a craving for chicken wings… I recently had them in Banff and they were 6 for $2 or 12 for $4 for a Friday special! Crazy hey? Unfortunately I haven’t found them that cheap in Canberra but I’ve managed to find some good deals. So I thought I would share my love of chicken wings with you!
