Two days to Christmas! Can you believe it? Day 23 of #VLOGMAS2021 finds this delicious, crispy and spicy Teriyaki baked chicken wings. These little morsels can be eaten as dinner or even as an appetizer. So where did Teriyaki originate from?

If the answer is yes (and we're pretty sure it is), you're in for a treat! Today, we're diving into the world of Teriyaki Baked Chicken Wings. These wings are not your average finger food; they're a tantalizing blend of sweet and savory flavors that will have your taste buds dancing with delight.

STICKY HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS

Wohooo! My first wiiings! My first wiiings! Me singing as I bite into this sticky saucy chicken wing. I've cooked many chicken recipes from chicken thighs, chicken breast and drumsticks, and I had always wanted to cook wings. I used to watch Tasty's chicken wings videos and tell myself that I must cook wings one of these days, so, one of these days has finally arrived! The good thing about wings is that they do not take long to cook so you can whip them up when you don't feel like hustling in the kitchen. We always ate chicken wings growing up but they were always part of a full chicken stew. To be honest no one really cared for wings, we all fought for the thighs because of the dark meat or the best of all, the DRUMSTICK! If the two were taken then you would opt for the breast. Back then chicken wasn't sold packed in pieces, it was always sold live chicken that you request to be prepared and chopped up. Mostly grandma reared organic chicken that we would eat when we visited then we would be given roasted chicken to carry back to the city. Aaaaah! Fun times. As we became older and supermarkets started to not only offer dried food stuffs but include, grocery, butchery, bakery, and even food court, we can now buy any part of the chicken per grams or kilo, some even sell by number of pieces. Convenience and variety at its best! These chicken wings were devoured as fast as they were made!

PILIPILI CHICKEN WINGS

Chicken wings are morsels of delicious bites that you can serve as a starter at a party or even at home for the family. If making for kids or even people who do not like chili, you can still make them delicious, though I love my wings with some kick. These wings are absolutely crunchy and moist on the inside, coating them with the flour gives them that texture. You can have fun and add more spices or create your own sauce to toss these wings with. Pilipili is a Swahili word that means pepper, whether green or red. Mostly in Kenya we add to salads like kachumbari, mutura a local street food. Everything just tastes better with chili and these wings certainly taste heavenly!
