WINGTOBER

Something is afoot each October in our network: WINGTOBER. There are rules. There is a prize. Are you playing the game? If so, try this recipe.

Holler Homestead Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 325F
  2. Make the coating:

    Make a mixture of 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and any spice combination you like. I find that Honeybees Kitchen mixes are great and usually add 1-2 tsp of her garlic dill lemon blend, or big fat greek blend.

  3. Coat the wings: Place the blend in a bag with a dozen to 18 wings and shake them around “Shake and Bake” style.
  4. Place flat on a cookie sheet, but on a rack on it so they are not touching the sheet and the oils can drip down, and bake them for 25 minutes at 325F.
  5. Turn oven up to 400 and cook for another 30-45 minutes until they are done.

So good, so crispy, so easy.

Food from Spring Workshop

It’s safe to say that people attending the LFTN Spring Workshop 2022 enjoyed the food as well as the nearly perfect weather. The kitchen crew kept us full and healthy through more than 70 pounds of bacon and 360 eggs, 15 gallons of soup or stew, 6 bus bins of fresh greens, 2½ gallons of salad dressing, and main dishes based on beef, chicken, rabbit, turkey, venison, fish, and pork.

Here are a few of their special recipes.
