118. MY FAVORITE PARTY FOOD! My fav cocktail chicken wings. WONDERFUL

My FAVORITE COCKTAIL CHICKEN WINGS (good appetizers)

I have been making these for about 20 years!! Every Christmas we have a "Christmas Party" and I make these for my relatives. If I don't.....I hear about it!! Now I'll share this recipe with my friends. They are just wonderful.

MY FAVORITE COCKTAIL CHICKEN WINGS

1 Cup soy sauce ( I use reduced sodium)
1/4 Cup oil
1/4 cup sherry ("Cocktail Sherry)
3 tsp sugar
1 tsp ginger
2 cloves chopped up garlic (1/4 tsp or so)
3 pounds chicken wings - Cut the wing into 2 pieces...the little "drum stick" and the 2nd joint. Discard the tip. Remove some of the fatty skin - It makes the wings less fatty.

Marinade chicken pieces (at least 2-3 hours) or overnight in sauce. Bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours in 325 degree oven. Turn often to distribute in marinade.

You can increase ginger a little for more kick and putting in a little more sherry is okay too.

Serve with Napkins (you may not need them because you'll lick the sauce off your fingers)

[Cha]

124. You are all adorable..I

love your shirt!

[RT Atlanta]

2. Sad to say I am missing the debates...

[madaboutharry]

4. No snacking.

It is bad for you!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. We're having a debate party!

I'm bringing the popcorn. :) Still trying to figure out what word we are going to use for The Drinking Game -- "My friends" is too obbvious and would have everyone plastered within 20 minutes. :P

[1corona4u]

11. Maybe you could snag a pic of mccrap, and everytime he makes that particular facial expression

you do a shot. :-)

[JohnMcCant2008]

8. I'm rolling a BIG fattie and eating a McChicken sandwich. With freedom fries, of course.

[janx]

13. I'm still trying to decide!

A friend is coming over. She drinks vodka tonics, and I generally have chardonnay. But what, oh what, for snax? Artichoke spinach parmisan dip? popcorn? Cheese and crackers? What for snax?

[1corona4u]

24. Oh, I have one for you, if you like crab...

but it is my recipe, so I will have to just guestimate the contents, since I never follow a recipe;


Hot Crab Dip
1 6 oz. can,(get the good stuff) or 6 oz. cooked crab, shredded
8 oz. cream cheese
1 pkg. sliced almonds
Tabasco-- to taste
1 tsp, Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. prepared horseradish


Blend all but the almonds, and salt & pepper to taste. Put in a heat proof dish, and cover with the almonds. Broil for about 8-10 minutes, with rack in the middle of the oven. Almonds should be lightly roasted, and the dip heated throughly.

Serve with crackers. It is to die for!!

[janx]

41. Thanks so much! I'm going to try it!

This will be wunnerful. :hi:

[1corona4u]

55. You can add more of the horseradish, and the like, depending

on your taste...I think I really use more like a tblsp. on them, but that makes it really spicy. :-) which I like.

[janx]

57. I'm a horseradish FREAK!

This recipe will be perfect!

[janx]

79. I just got home from the store, and I have the ingredients.

LOL, so I got all the stuff too! :rofl:

[janx]

103. It's going under the broiler NOW!

I threw in some artichoke hearts, too. Hope that doesn't mess it up. :rofl: I went heavy on the horseradish! ;-)

[1corona4u]

104. It might be ok...never tried that...

hey, if you don't like it, you can skip it next time. :-) Let me know how you like it.

[janx]

130. It was delicious!

This one's a keeper. Thanks so much again.

[Catshrink]

60. Agreed -- it is to die for.

I didn't get home until shortly before the debate began. I had pierogie instead of brownies, but I did have some salt and pepper Kettle Chips if that helps.

[Kajsa]

93. Thanks, I've got to try that one.

Does the mix include nuts or do I need
to add my own?
