Yes we are a CRAZY American family.   In preparation for the Super Bowl,  we have had a “who can make the best chicken wings contest.”  Well, not really chicken wings because I think the wings are gross and I couldn’t find any drumetts so, chicken legs it is.  Farmer Rick, BP(my bottomless pit 12 year old son- and expert hot wings tester), and I prepare for competition.  The winner will prepare his or her prize recipe for Super Bowl snacks.  (I suggested the loser not be allowed in the kitchen for a week.  Of course that kind of gives away the results.) Two shopping trips(closest grocery store 18 miles away), eight messy pans, seven bowls, and one wiped out kitchen later (there will be no photos of that),  the winner is declared.  Drum roll please……….And the winner is Farmer Rick.   Special thanks to JQ and Spotty for judging.  There will be no recipe attached because Farmer Rick is not willing to share his winning recipe.  Honorable mention goes to BP with a spicy sweet sauce that had just enough kick.  Of course I was the loser!   That does however get me out of cooking for the Super Bowl.  So maybe, I am a winner too.
