My cousin Gretel invited us over for dinner one night as little play date for our kids. My children cause me upset at the thought of taking them to her place as I am never certain they will behave themselves. Fidel, my older child knows that he shouldn’t ask for anythng when we go to see people, but Fernando my younger child can be difficult to deal with sometimes. Well anyway, I placed my children in my automobile and chauffeured them a few blocks to Gretel’s home when my husband was in another town.
The children were quietly amusing themselves while waiting for dinner to be finished. Gretal enjoyed cooking and that evening she prepared delicious chicken wings. After roasting with pepper and salt they became delicious. Kids also enjoyed them and Fernando enjoyed them very much. He began over-eating them and soon started snatching wings from others plates as well. I was terribly embarrassed and tried my best to calm him down. Finally being able to get him to stop the tantrum, I loaded them both in the car and drove back feeling so ashamed.
The next day I called Gretel and noted down all the chicken wing recipes she had. Thanks! I love your fried chicken recipe. I used to think that nobody can prepare chicken for a family dinner like mom, but you have proven me wrong. I made some exactly as per your recipe and it was a hit. Everyone loved it! Whole house was full of the delicious smell and the kids could not get enough of it.
The dog was going nuts waiting for his turn at the leftovers. Next week is a footy night and we will have a few friends over to watch the game together. I think it will be a great choice for casual gathering. Your choice of spices is just great. Personally I am not a great chicken lover but with a dish like that I could convert myself. A simple dish but very effective. Mom will be jealous! I wont tell her where I got the recipe from. Every girl can have a secret. While going to Medical school in 2004, my roommate and I would always look at old recipe books and attempt to make something new.
All the other girls on our hostel floor would gather in our room for a nice delicious meal. It was a nice method of learning, as well as it was enjoyable. The only issue was that we couldn’t use gas to prepare food in the rooms. We were permitted only to use electric articles like electric kettles, microwaves and electric hot plates. The microwave was our easiest way out. We would have grilled vegetables, beef, pork ribs and chicken wings and breasts at least once a week, during the weekends. My roommate who was a great fan of cooking had a huge collection of various kinds of grilled beef recipes, grilled chicken and fish recipes. My batch mates enjoyed this food because cooking it was a fun experience, the food was definitely healthy and they could maintain their body weight by cutting down on the fatty fast foods.
