In the midst of developing my meal plan for tomorrow's dinner party. I
have decided on having chicken legs (baby legs) and chicken wings (bat
wings), just haven't decided on the method to cook them. I have googled a
few ideas and am looking at Dams Cracklin' Wings, Kajit's BBQ drums, a
Garlicky BBQ recipe (sorry don't have the OP name) and a Glazed Chicken
(again no OP name). I wil also be looking for inspiration from cleaning out
my fridge shortly and seeing how many things I need to use up. Will be
serving maggots (rice). Still working out these details as well. Will
have tomato juice (Vampire Cocktail) with the meal. A green tinted wine
will accompany the meal for the adults. Haven't decided on a veggie yet.
Desert will be angel food cake spray painted in an orange edible paint with
black edible paint for facial features. This will be the great pumpkin cake
topped with strawberries ( blood clots) and whipped cream (pus). I always
try to come up with interesting ideas for my grandson who I am raising as he
is a competitive swimmer and doesn't do the usual trick and treating sweets
thing. This being the week leading up to a meet is carb loading week too.
I will probably add a couple of veggie dishes as I don't need the carb
loading. :-)

I recommend making Mahogony Wings... it's been a long time since I've
done it, but IMO - that's the recipe you need for "bat wings".


Here's a recipe I grabbed from the net - you may already have a better
one.

Mahogany Chicken Wings Recipe #5054

5-6 lbs chicken wings
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
3/4 cup dry sherry
1 1/4 cups hoisin sauce (available in the ethnic section of
your supermarket)
3/4 cup plum sauce (available as above)
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, minced

1. Combine sauce ingredients (that is everything except chicken wings
in a large pot and bring to a boil and then stir and simmer for 5
minutes.

2. Correct flavoring as desired.

3. Place wings in a large roasting pan(s). Pour over sauce on wings
and coat evenly.

4. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

5. Drain off sauce and reserve.

6. Roast wings in a 375 oven basting frequently with some of the
reserved sauce, turning to brown until wings cooked and done (about 1
hour). Serve warm or cool and serve at room temperature.

Thanks! It looks wonderful. I have printed it off and put it with my other
options. Will be deciding soon.

Speaking of Harlan... a collection of his short stories called 'Strange
Wine' is a good one.
