Moveable meals

This week in Newburyport it’s Yankee Homecoming, for my family that means picnic dinners at Waterfront Park while listening to the concerts each night. But it also means that we’re running all day and we don’t want to be tied to the kitchen.

Tonight we’re going to have my friend Sheila’s wonderful, easy, chicken wings. My family devours these! They’re a perfect, very simple Quickie meal, because you start them early, and they're ready when you are.

Sheila’s sumptuous chicken wings

2 lbs. chicken wings (already trimmed “wingettes”)
1 bottle Ken’s Teriyaki Marinade or Ken's Buffalo Chicken Sauce

Place wings and marinade in a baggie in the refrigerator overnight.

Early in the morning, before the house gets too hot, preheat oven to 300°. Line cookie sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray (this makes clean-up a snap). Spread wings on cookie sheets and bake wings for 1-1½ hours. Turn oven to broil for about 20 minutes to get the wings crispy on the outside.

Turn off oven and transfer wings to crock pot. Keep in crock pot on low until ready to serve. They’ll be falling-off-the-bone tender!

Add a salad or some fresh fruit to your wings and they’re dinner! Or take them to a party as an impressive appetizer.
