Kevin Roberts' Game Day Grub
STUDIO CITY (CBS/KCAL) — With the Final Four approaching this weekend, it is time to party!
Celebrity chef and author of "Kissing in the Kitchen" Kevin Roberts visited the KCAL9 studios Friday to whip up some game day grub. Enjoy!
West Coast or Tavern Style Wings
The trick to my tasty and healthy wings is I boil them first. That knocks off a lot of the fat and makes them nice and tender. Then you can throw them on the grill and get 'em nice and crispy.
INGREDIENTS
1 4-pound bag of frozen or fresh chicken wings (try to get a combo of both flats and drumettes – no tips)
1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce,
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
DIRECTIONS
1. Boil the wings in a large pot for 10 minutes – use your favorite beer or water. Drain water/beer and excess fat from wings when done.
2. Grill wings on barbecue until crispy.
3. Prepare sauce as below & toss to coat.
TAVERN STYLE SAUCE: Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce to the 1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce and mix well. Then mix the wings in the Tavern sauce and serve. Serves 4
