Sweet and sour chicken wings are perfect for satisfying your Chinese food cravings! Dip in hot mustard to complete the delicious appetizer!
As someone who loves to eat, and I’m sure many of you can relate, I don’t limit myself to any one particular cuisine.
Raised by a Mexican mother and an Italian father, our family meals mainly consisted of enchiladas and pasta.
But let’s not forget the weekly pizza, steak and burgers.
While I still love those heritage foods I grew up with, I’ve also come to love Chinese and a little sushi now and then.
Yes, I eat the raw stuff, too.
I haven’t tried my had at making Chinese too often, and forget about sushi altogether, it just seems so intimidating to me.
These sweet and sour chicken wings, however, are a totally different story.
Even though they take just a little longer to make than I would like, the steps are super easy and you don’t need a slew of special ingredients, either.
Plus, they are super delish. Just ask Jr and Mr. Disorganized, they tore them up.
And, you’re in luck, since this month’s 12 Bloggers is all about wings. Scroll down past the recipe for 11 more delicious chicken wing recipes you can make and enjoy year round.
I hope you love these sweet and sour chicken wings as much my family does!
