Food & drink

Got myself an air fryer today, and immediately made chicken wings.

Verdict: It's absolutely awesome!

Here's what I did:

• 24 minutes at 380
  
• 6 minutes at 400

For the sauce:

• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 4 tbsp Frank's Red Hot

For the dip:

• A few solid spoonfuls of of Sir Kensington avocado oil mayo
• A tiny amount of Gochujang hot pepper paste
• A dollop of mustard
• A few splashes of Maggi seasoning
• Salt
• Pepper

I prefer mayo dip to ranch or blue cheese. I just mix something up with what I fancy that day....

Speaking of being in creative mode, I made a batch of negroni for my oak barrel, and in a few weeks I'll be having my first taste of my own home-made barrel-aged negroni.

It's super simple: Get an oak barrel (I got this one), fill it with water to let the staves expand and make sure there are no leaks, empty it, fill it with your drink of choice, and let it sit for several weeks.

I just filled mine. Will check in each week for the next 3-6 weeks and see when I think it's ready.

I made mine...
