I remember the first time I tried to make chicken wings I was so nervous. Chicken wings were not something that I would normally eat, so making them was very intimidating. My husband however, loves chicken wings and I love to cook so I thought I would give it a shot. It took numerous tries to get them right, but my family is always thrilled when I decide to make them. These showstopper chicken wings have become a tradition in our house for Superbowl Sunday. We make Jambalaya, Showstopper Chicken Wings and The Easiest Homemade Barbecue Sauce. We are very superstitious about our football, so these three things are always on the menu for the Superbowl.

The barbecue sauce comes together very quickly, but I suggest when you do make it, double the recipe and freeze some for later. Another great thing about this recipe is that it is very allergy friendly. In this house, we just love a recipe that is peanut free, tree nut free and gluten free! I find chicken wings hard to find. They have become very expensive and come in small packages, so you end up buy quite a few packages. My new go to is buying large packages of them at Costco. I just stick them in freezer and with the frozen barbecue sauce I can whip these up any time.

Barbecue Sauce

Method

Add chicken wings to a large pot of water.

Generously season the wings on both sides with Adobo seasoning or a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.

At this point, I usually add my homemade barbecue sauce and continue cooking in the oven or air-fry them for a few minutes.

Notes

This recipe is measured by feeling more than exact amounts. It is a general framework that can be easily adapted. Any sauce would work well, but my homemade barbecue sauce is our personal favorite. My homemade barbecue sauce recipe is located in the recipe section of http://www.sundaychefs.com

Lynwood Café in Randolph, Ma is arguably THE best bar pizza in New England. Bar Pizza is a thing in here and everyone has their favorites. Lynwood Café is a small, neighborhood pizzeria that I began attending as a toddler with my parents and I now bring my grown children. There is a key to longevity with Lynwood Café and it is consistency, they know what works and they stick with it.

Lynwood Café opened in 1949 as a neighborhood bar and once they decided to start making bar pizza, they never looked back. When you walk in, you are walking back in time. The old time charm of the place with its old phone booth, which now houses an ATM (they are CASH ONLY, so this is quite useful) and the shuffleboard game that every child remembers forever.

Love Fades, Pizza is Forever

We do not live local anymore, but recently we were in the area and went for the first time in about ten years and we were not disappointed. The warm and friendly atmosphere and the fantastic pizza is just to die for. My lifetime favorite has always been the pepperoni and green pepper, but the hamburg, which I would never order anywhere else is amazing too. My late father was a big fan of the Linguica pizza, which I have never seen in any other pizza place. I have always wanted to try the Boston Baked Bean but I haven’t taken the leap yet.

One tip: skip the bottled beer. I am not usually a draft beer person, but the draft beer at Lynwood Café is the coldest beer I have ever had and it always has been. Another tip: the draft beer comes in little glasses, so order two. Beer and pizza have never been so good.

When I met my husband I told him I was taking him to have the best pizza in Massachusetts and he thought I was crazy. We joke that after he had it was when he decided I was the one he wanted to marry.

REMEMBER: CASH ONLY!

I would highly recommend checking out Lynwood Café if you ever have the chance. If you want to see more restaurant reviews, check out my blog Sunday Chefs.
