Wings are the perfect snack. They are not heavy; they are both sweet and salty, satisfying most people's taste buds. You can customize the flavour profile via seasoning rub, marinade or sauce to toss in after cooking.

How long should chicken wings cook?

Instead of deep-frying, you can bake wings twice to get the ultimate texture without drying them out. You can put them in the oven with the glaze, but I've found that since this is typically high in sugar, your coating will burn before the wings are cooked through and crisp! Once seasoned, bake for 25 minutes at 425F. Flip them over, then cook at 375F for 15-20 minutes until golden caramelized and crispy. 

What do guavas taste like?

Growing up in Zimbabwe, I was fortunate enough to have a guava tree in the garden. Although this fruit is not native to southern Africa, it's now a commonly consumed fruit, enjoyed in the form of juice or eaten as is. Guavas can be hard to come by in the US, but you can typically find the juice, nectar or paste in many grocery stores, which can be reduced to a glaze with honey and soy sauce over the stovetop. I wanted to bring this tropical flavour to life and leverage the sweetness and acidity. To that end, what does guava taste like? I would say a combination of melon and pear, but that depends on your taste buds! Either way, they are delicious.
