BONES OF 100 CHICKENS
Is it a bit macabre to make references to eating children? Yes, of course. But these witches like what they like and have a sniffer finely tuned to wee babes. Like them, you won’t be able to resist the spicy smell of these hot wings, though I don’t recommend using the leftover bones to build your front gate.
Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 40 minutes
12 small chicken wings
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Melt the butter in a microwave.
3. Add the chicken wings to a mixing bowl and pour the olive oil, butter, and hot sauce over them. Mix well so they are all coated.
4. Add the Old Bay, Cajun seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well so the wings are all coated.
5. Place the wings on a greased baking sheet.
6. Bake for 40 minutes, or until browned and crispy.
WITCH’S BREW ESPRESSO MARTINI
While a witch’s brew is a pretty generic term when it comes to spellmaking, this recipe is a very specific take. This concoction doesn’t bubble, bubble (unless you’re using a moka pot), but it does brew up a marvelously magical martini. It leaves only one question — this witch’s brew, what’s it gonna do to you?
Serves: 1 | Prep Time: 22 minutes
1½ ounces espresso
1 ounce vodka
1 teaspoon simple syrup
1 ounce heavy cream
1. Brew espresso and let it sit for 20 minutes to cool.
2. Pour the espresso over ice in a rocks glass and give it a stir to cool it further.
3. Add vodka and simple syrup.
4. Add the heavy cream and stir well.
