Food News And Chews - Chicken lollipops

Welcome back to Food News & Chews and we're going to be talking football food today but Super Party food but I've got to tell ya we finished with that interview with Jonathan we had to put him in a cage. Haha! He's in a cage and I'm going to let him out when you get one of these things done. Haha well, he's going to like this cause this is my stuffed chicken wings. It's a great one for Super Bowl. You can really kinda kick the normal chicken wings up a little bit and do something fun but I want to show you the technique on how to stuff a chicken wing because people are like "How do you do that, right?" Yeah! It's got bones in it. How do you put stuffing in it? So, the first thing you want to do is separate this drummy from the other part from the two wing part. That' really simple to do, just remove that; just save it for later. I guess you just get really good at that; cutting bones. This one is kind of interesting. What you want to do is grab the wing with a towel and hold this little wing tip in and you want to crack that joint just like this and then push. Do you notice how the bones just pop right out like that? And I usually leave one of them in there. I'll just remove the smaller one and pull this one out and next thing you know, you've got this little drummy thing. You do have to be a hunter/gatherer don't you to do this operation? We'll remove this little tip and this will be great for soup but you see you've got the little drummy or a little bit of a lollipop and at that point you can kinda scoop the meat down and it makes this little pouch; so you've got a boneless little wing. Now the other drummy part you can do the same thing with but you just want to run your knife around the base of the wing or the end of the wing. Not cut through the bone. No, you won't be able to with a little knife like this and you will want to scrape everything down. See how I'm scraping away the meat from the bone? Mmmhmm. Is this Paleo nice? Absolutely Paleo! You know that is the rage. The Paleo Diet. Mmmhmm. Hunter/Gatherer. So you scrape the meat down the bone all the way. Got to be into bones crunching and stuff. Then you kind of wrap that around as well. You've got You leave the skin on, right? Mmmhmm a nice little lollipop there. So now, to make the stuffing I like a little bit of sausage in my chicken wings and then a little bit of mushroom, any kind you like is fine, blue cheese because blue cheese and wings go great together, right? Blue cheese in anything. And then, fresh herbs is always good. What kind of herbs are these? I use some parsley and some thyme and a little bit of rosemary tastes good. So you mix up this stuffing into a loose ball; use your hands a little bit. And then check it out, take a little bit of a piece, a little ball like that Can't go wrong with that; sausage and blue cheese. and take your little drummy back out and stuff it in there like this and then wrap the meat back around and you've got a stuffed chicken wing. Oh nice! Now, the best part about this is you want to use these wings instead of like the fried ones because I like to kind of simmer them in beer. When you simmer in a liquid like beer you actually boil off a lot of the fat and it becomes a lot less it becomes a lot healthier than deep fried chicken wings. So anyway, I'm going to use West Sixth IPA You can use beer a local beer and just kind of add that to the pot then you will simmer the wings. Yeah. For about a half hour. You will see when they are nice and cooked. Then you can finish them on the grill. Okay. Now one thing I really like to do is take ummm the beer after it has been boiled down then add your hot sauce to that and then mix that up. Mmmm. Where did you get this? This is just a nice this is called Crystal's Hot Sauce. It's one of my favorites. Ohhh. There are plenty that are made in Kentucky and made locally too that you can also use. You can find that in any place? Just hot sauce. Whatever wing sauce you got just go for it. So pour this into the beer then you can kinda go and plate them up for the Bowl. Okay, so. Should I let him out of his cage? Might as well. Let me go and get Jonathan out of his cage. So, we've got stuffed chicken wings which we'll put on the plate. Come on in here young man. This is Jonathan Mason... Good to have you back Jon. with the Wildcat Locker Room, right? Wildcat Locker Report, yes ma'am. Anyway, when do they listen to that? Give me the times. Gosh, Jeremy, you can't have me around cooking. Use your favorite hot sauce on the wings. Tell us more about when that comes on again.
