Sing A Wing Song With Food Republic
When we stood back and looked at the bounty of chicken wing recipes we've brought you over the past couple of weeks — plus a profile of the Ultimate Wingman — we felt pretty proud. Proud enough to brag. And not too proud to sing about it. Without further ado, our recommendations for your weekend cooking adventures, sung to the tune of Piano Man (speaking of songs inexplicably stuck in our heads):
It's 9 'o clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's a hungry dude complaining to me
He wants wings soaked in lemon and gin
He says, "Guys, can you make me some awesome wings?
Wings that will truly amaze
So I dug really deep in the recipe heap
For ginger-lime wings with rum glaze
La la la, di da da
La la, di di da da da
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He puts mustard on everything
So I fired up the crock pot and got all that bird hot
And made him Mighty Mustard Wings
He says, "Guys, I believe that your recipe
Is sweet, but not spicy enough
Add some honey and sriracha."
I said, "Yeah, I gotcha,"
And drenched them in spicy red stuff
Make them some wings you're the wing man
Make them some wings tonight
Well they're all in the mood for some Buffalo wings
And they know that you make them right.
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And I'm craving some crunchy pork rinds
So I crush them to crumbs with my fingers and thumbs
I'll share these great wings When Pigs Fly
And my friends, they're all hungry carnivores
And these wings make me feel like a beer
And they gasp at the wings you just took off the grill
And say, "Man, Anaheim chiles are fierce."
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da da
Make them some wings you're the wing man
Make them some wings tonight
Well they're all in the mood for some excellent wings
And now you can make them just right.
Hey, don't ignore that tip jar. A guy's gotta eat.
