snappy seasoned wings
It seems as if there are 1000 different ways of making chicken wings. This is number 1001. People love chicken wings for their adaptability. Plus, they make great finger food for parties, tailgating, family reunions, etc. Of course, everyone has favorites but trying something new can be wonderful. There are two types of chicken wings: flats and fats. The flat, as the name implies, has a flat surface. You can separate the bones when you eat them, gathering every last flavorful morsel. Fats, on the other hand, appear similar to a drumstick but smaller. These offer more meat than flats. Nonetheless, people favor flats 3:1.
