Thursday is always a tough one… is it more like a Friday night or Monday night? I look at it as the unsocial beginning of the weekend, and like to have a stand-up dinner of some favorites:
Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings with Cilantro Sriracha Blue Cheese Sauce
This mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar and Sambal sauce creates tangy marinade for the small chicken wings and drums.
