Entertaining: Bourbon Glazed Wings!

Planning a party?  Need some munchies?  I saw these at Patricia‘s other website, Brownies for Dinner, and had to share them here, too!   These look delicious as a party appetizer…

Patricia says:

I’ve tried making the classic hot wings in the past using a couple of different recipes and I’ll be honest, I’d rather order them from someplace because the ROI (return on investment) for the amount of work put into those wings was pitiful. I’m willing to do a little bit of work as long as the results are worth it. The last hot wings recipe I tried was from Alton Brown. I’m definitely a fan of his, and he hasn’t steered me wrong except in that case. There were just too many steps. Sure, in the end I had crispy wings, but I was too tired to enjoy them.

But in the latest issue of Bon Appétit, I was tempted to give wings another chance by the Bourbon-Glazed Chicken Drumettes. They had me at bourbon. While the recipe title intrigued Dan as well, when he found how much bourbon was going into it, he was unsure that it was the best use for something that precious. He’d rather drink it. But after tasting the sauce, he offered me the handle of Jim Beam in his cabinet to make more. Since the recipe is straightforward, easy, and lip-smacking delicious, I am happy to oblige (the ROI is off the charts).

Welcome to Foodwhirl!

Whew!  It’s been a rough couple of weeks, but it’s all pulled together beautifully!

Welcome to our new site.  We’re very excited to be here, and for you to be here too!

A good place to start :  Read all about us, and our mission here on our About page…

Or just dive right into the recipes, techniques and meal planning ideas.  You can find the latest items in each category on our home page, or brown category archives from the green menu bar at the top of each page.

Or just read it all in chronological order here!

We’re so sparkly brand new that we’re still playing with the bubble wrap, so if you see a bug or something that doesn’t look right, be sure to drop me a line at admin@foodwhirl.com (or use our Contact page) — and we’d love any feedback about the site, good or constructive!

PS:  We’d love for you guys to get involved and help spread the word–this isn’t some big corporate undertaking with a marketing budget, we’re just cooks like you.  Just posting a link to the site on your blog, facebook, twitter, or whatnot would be a big help!  We have some nifty buttons too - feel free to grab one.  Let us know if you link to us, so we can stop by and admire it!

Welcome to the Beta Test!

And… We’re up!

We’re ready to announce to the world in just a few days, but we’d love some friendly people to check out the site and let us know if there are any issues.  This is a soft launch, so although the world can now access foodwhirl.com, we’re waiting a few days before we invite them all!

So welcome!  Please click around, check out the profiles of our contributors, check out our initial posts, and please go ahead and leave comments or rate the posts (there is a ratings button at the top when you click on the post name–we’d love your initial feedback)…
You can leave input as a comment on posts, or if it’s something more general, just email me at admin@foodwhirl.com.

How can you help launch Foodwhirl?  Honestly, the only reason we write this stuff is for people to read it!  So we’d love to make a big splash at our official launch (slated for 2/10)… We’d love for you guys to get involved and help spread the word–this isn’t some big corporate undertaking with a marketing budget, we’re just cooks like you :) .  Just posting a link to the site (but wait til Wednesday at least please!) on your blog, facebook, twitter, or whatnot would be a big help!  We have some nifty buttons too - feel free to grab one.

There’s a bit here now, because we wanted to have some content at launch, but remember, this site is meant to be a dynamic work in process–new stuff all the time–and we’ll be building our database of yummies.

Don’t forget to let us know if you have things we should link to in the future– your own posts elsewhere or cool recipes you’ve seen on the web — use the suggest a site page to let us know.  (And if you’re interested in contributing yourself, we’re always looking for interesting guest cooks!)

We’ll also have some community features coming soon after initial launch…  I’m still researching the best way to implement them, but we want to give you guys the ability to submit your own meal ideas and recipes, too, to make this an even better resource.

Welcome to our beta test!
We hope you’ll stick around for the real thing!
