Fantastic chicken wings and an adult beverage (of course Studs and I had to sample before the recipe was posted here) to savor.
Nancy DiMauro is here to share her two fantastic recipes. Take it away, Nancy!
This is a DiMauro family favorite. I have no idea where my Mom originally found the recipe or if she made it up herself. One of these days I’ll remember to ask. But summer always included barbeques on the grill and her marinated chicken wings. I have the recipe written down as both “single” batch and “double”. Can’t remember ever making a single batch. I wrote the recipe down from my Mom’s index card when I was still in high school (many moons ago). These wings went to Beach Week in college and what I was asked to make at most pot-luck parties. The steno book page with the recipe is stained with drops of soy sauce and lord knows what else from the years of use. While these are great hot, they’re amazing cold the next day. That’s why I always make the double batch. If you choose to do so simply double all the ingredients.
It’s one of my favorite recipes and I hope you like it to.
DiMauro Chicken Wings
Soy Sauce ½ cup
Oil ¼ cup
Meat Tenderizer/ Accent 1 tbsp.
Dry Mustard 1 tbsp.
Lemon Juice ¼ cup
Molasses 1 tbsp.
Crushed Garlic ¼ tbsp.*
Chicken Wings 2-4 lbs
* I always use more garlic than the recipe calls for. So if you like garlic, don’t hesitate to use more.
Mix all ingredients, cover, marinate at least overnight, and stir occasionally
Preheat oven to 350°F
Place chicken wings on foiled and greased cookie sheet. Cook for 50-60 minutes and baste occasionally.
If you want something cool and smooth to go down with it, try this Cranberry Martini recipe from my second mom, Phyllis Hussey.
Cranberry Martini
Vodka 1 shot
Vodka 1 shot
Cranberry Juice 2 shots
Lime juice to taste – about ½ tsp.
Shaken not stirred.
That’s it – enjoy.
Now relax. Nibble on these yummy wings while you sip a marvelous martini and read a little from Shots at Redemption my latest speculative fiction.
