I am somewhat a cliche'. I grew up running around barefoot on a farm in Kentucky.
I love writing, art, sunshine, all animals and my incredibly patient husband, who tolerates my "crazy animal lady" side.
It is always a sports season for something in the Bluegrass State, and what goes with sports? Wings!

This precious chicken part is often available, but can be dry, overcooked— or worse, it can appear to be from a mere chick. There are quite a few restaurants that serve up mouthwatering wings in Kentucky. When you locate one that impresses you, it is best to stick with them. There are chains like KFC that do chicken right almost anywhere. However, wings are special… so it is good to find a place that recognizes their worth and really does it right.
