This probably should have been super bowl Sunday's meal

Because who doesn't love wings, coleslaw and mashed potatoes alongside their football?

We've been making this slaw for sometime now - probably years. Secret ingredient has to be the pickle juice which is why, if you look in my fridge on any given day of the year, you'll see at least one, possibly two, pickle jars with no pickles in them. Don't you dare throw them out! 

If you know us IRL then you know that we deal in chicken. Seriously, we're chicken dealers. A friend knows a farmer and places and order on a regular basis and we in turn make that order available to our friends and family which is why on the night after Thanksgiving last year, I found myself in the parking lot of a hair salon waiting to pick up 5 rogue, whole, frozen chickens so that I could deliver them to their respective freezers. But really that's a story for another post. Annnnnyyyyyway, we get chicken in bulk which means we get backs and wings and livers and all the parts. So I had to figure out how to use wings in a way that my people would consider eating them. 

Enter baked chicken wings. They are easy and delicious and I make them nearly every month. You could easily alter the spices to make them hotter or more mild. You could add sauce or not. They are great as left overs. 

Have I mentioned that we are a nearly dairy free house? One of our family doesn't eat dairy (another was a vegetarian for the better part of last year which made us vegans for a while.) So my potatoes are only potatoes (yellow), butter, and sea salt. And they are amazing.
