Summer. Cook-Outs. Pool Parties.
I started to realize that sauces can really take a dish to another level and started to tinker around with making a cilantro sauce. For year I would make my way, late night, to The Diner, a 24 hour haunt that served a very tasty batch of grilled chicken wings with a cilantro dipping sauce. Of course, everything tastes great at 2 a.m., but this dish was a winner at any time of the day. The sauce is great from fried, grilled or baked chicken wings to using for our world famous fajitas bar.
