Asian-style Deep Fried Chicken Wings by A.L. Wiebe

I have been making this version of chicken wings for years now, and they are always a hit. This is just the basic marinade recipe, so depending on my mood, I spice them up some with extra Sriracha sauce, maybe some garlic.

Roasted Garlic Soup

Roasted Garlic Soup by A.L. Wiebe

I am not sure where this recipe came from before my uncle shared it with me...most likely some magazine or newspaper article.
