Dueling Smoked Wings
by David Slade, Willow Seasonings and Blends
Recently we had a guest on a regional show that I co-host, Colorado Sports Connection, for a pregame show before the Broncos/Browns Game. Gary Robinson, made his debut as we introduced a pregame segment of game day recipes.
His first show he went with a standby, “Wings.” But instead of just wings, he smoked them, but also used Willow Seasoning Rubs as a base to do an Asian Fusion and Mexican Fusion to his smoked wings.
They are tasty, and I hope you enjoy as much as we did.
Cheers
