I got the idea for cooking chicken wings from my favourite NSFW podcast, viz., Mouthy Broadcast. You can also find the broads on Facebook too.

Questions and answers

What did you get up to today?

I did my grocery shopping, then I went for a walk around the lake and then I had lunch at McDonald’s.

What sort of honey did you use?

I went cheap and used Coles brand honey.

Why did you use chillies in a jar?

Because the flavour has been intensified and it’s a lot hotter than using freshly chopped chillies.

How long did it take you to eat the 8 chicken wings?

About 5 minutes, I was pretty hungry.

What software are you using for editing your photographs?

I use Adobe Lightroom for digital asset management including metadata management. I use MacPhun Luminar for easy preset driven edits to the RAW files and then I crop and do final edits in Adobe Lightroom.

  1. Now that you mention it, maybe the chillies in jars have time to ferment and ooze out its spiciness. Looks like your wings were a big charred but I suppose that added flavour 😀 I had no idea there was a Chicken Big Mac at McDonalds. These days I am into the burgers at Grill’d – their burger patties never fail to be chunky just the way I like it.

    1. I really like the Chicken Big Mac. It’s worth a try.
      A little caramelisation of chicken skin adds a nice flavour.
      I don’t mind Grill’d but I’ve only eaten its burgers about half a dozen times.

        1. A friend and I wrote to the CEO of McDonald’s Australia asking for a 48 piece McNugget box like McDonald’s in the USA has. Our request was declined.

  2. The wings look AMAZING! As an aside I prefer the regular Big Mac over the chicken, but I think it’s because I’ve split the burger into halves since I was a kid and it had a different feel to it than I’m used to when I did it with the chicken.

    1. That’s fair enough. I’ve always found the burgers too small for my mouth.
      Back in the day I’d combine two double quarter pounders to make a pounder!

  3. Well, I liked it because it was fun to read. I cannot stand chili flavors. I was also surprised to read ones in jars are stronger than fresh. Your recipe does look good, I’ll just imagine something else on the skin! I was also surprised it took 45 min to cook wings. They seem so small— Good information, friend!

      1. But too sweet, still. There is a store here in town which roasts chickens. I think they put some kind of drug in them. I will devour the skin and wings of these birds in seconds! And the flesh is just as tasty!
