Fantastic. I’m going to have jump on the “IPAs with spicy food” bandwagon.
The wings were frozen (and thawed) and deep fried in canola oil till lightly browned. Then I poured on some Ken’s Steakhouse wing sauce. Intense stuff.
And really, it’s hard to imagine anything other than an IPA working here. The ultra-spicy wing sauce is so overwhelming I don’t think you’d be able to taste any beer that didn’t bring its own powerful flavors. Rather than be overwhelmed by hoppy bitterness, I was just getting the peachy/fruity brightness of the hops, which was a great compliment to the salty, intense spiciness of the wings.
I may never eat wings again without a good IPA at my side.
