I have been wanting to make these chinese chicken wings
for years now . I used to make them for guests / friends
in high school , but lost my cookbook the recipe was in .
for some reason , the thought of preparing the wings 
without remembering the ingredients was intimidating .

two weeks ago , I made these chinese chicken wings 
for joey & we loved them so much we made them again !
by having the wings simmer in a sauce for 30
minutes , we allowed the meat to really moisten &
soak up the amazing honey / ginger / teriyaki glaze .

joey & I have really stepped up our food game  -
think prosciutto , apricot preserve , & gruyere on toasted 
truffle oil baguette and goat cheese , fig , & sopressata crostini .
I am excited to share the new , exciting things we have been
cooking up here in queens ! these chicken wings are just the start .
