Drumettes (that look like tiny chicken legs) and the flats, which is the piece with two small bones running through it.
These are boiled for 10 minutes and broiled for another 15-20.
Blue cheese dip, of course! Crunchy celery, carrots and radishes are terrific as well.

Are you into sports? Me, I love football I watch all the games and love the sport. Whether you're a football fan or if you just go for the party, the Superbowl is fast approaching!
When I moved to Green Bay, WI - well that just sealed the deal and ever since I've been a Green Bay Packer fan. I've since moved from Green Bay, but still enjoy the games.
So whenever I get an invite for a Superbowl Party...or just about any kinda party, my go-to dish is Sticky Buffalo Chicken Wings.
