Green Mesquite Chicken Wings


Green Mesquite
serves some hot wings that are some of the most incredible wings I've eaten. You may have seen them on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and they're worth the accolades. My wife and I had just had a burger and fries across the street, but I convinced her that these wings were dessert worthy. We bellied up to the bar, and ordered the smallest portion - 8 wings. They arrived minutes later with a side of creamy homemade ranch.



They were gone in seconds.



These wings are both smoked and fried, and the sauce has heat and sweet making for a great blend of flavors not normally found in the usual single note hot wings. The thin ranch seemed to be made for dipping rather than dressing, and the coolness was a good compliment. My mouth is literally getting moist as I write. Luckily, I can make a return trip in just a few weeks when I'm back in town.

On a trip to the bathroom, I noticed a familiar sign from the cover of Follow the Smoke. Green Mesquite is just full of surprises.
