In this case, unfortunately, I found that real maple syrup doesn’t add enough of an intense maple kick, so I had to out and spring for maple extract. Really, there’s not a good substitute. Potentially you might be able to concentrate traditional maple syrup by boiling it down,…

In the mood for a different kind of wings? Try out these pesto wings! Made even better with homemade pesto! – – It’s been a good harvest year for the basil on my deck! So that means lots of pesto! And with this low-carb diet thing, wings are on the menu! I’ve shared a lot of tasty chicken wing recipes like miso glazed chicken wings and maple mustard wings are my favorite go-tos. But this was a nice summery take on wings! These are basically the same recipe, season and bake and then toss with the sauce–in this case pesto–and bake again…

I think for a while I’ll switch to one post on Friday, and even then I may not be posting new recipes each time, but might revisit some…

For this version I used…
