The Route 66 Fried Chicken Burger, Wings and Things by David Turofsky and Ben Ford. Photography by Dan Jones.
From the award-winning and fried-chicken obsessed duo behind Wingmans, chef Ben Ford and David Turofsky, comes Wings and Things, a book that celebrates the glorious bird with some of the most mouth-watering, saucy, internationally-inspired variations on classic wings.
Recipes to savour include moreish favourites such as their multi-award-winning Buffalo Hot Sauce, Sweet and Smokey BBQ Wings, Korean Hot Sauce Wings with Fermented Black Bean, Pineapple and Black Sesame, Jamaican-Me-CrazyWings made firey with Scotch bonnet chillies, and Salt and Pepper Wings coated in five-spice and Szechuan salt.
Other chapters offer ways to make use of the other parts of a chicken so as to avoid waste—you’ll find 24-hour tea-brined whole chicken, Route 66 Fried Chicken Burger, and other recipes using the thighs and breast fillets.
Ben and David also show how easy it is to use wingtips and other bones to make the best possible chicken stock, and chicken skin to make unbelievably moreish ‘Crack Crumb’—a salty, irresistible topping made from crisped-up skin.
