FOODlog #268: New Orleans BBQ Wings

There was an event that the cafe I work at were participating at and they hired 2 part timers for the week. It was nice seeing new faces around the cafe although we didn't get to interact with them as we're busy with our work as always.

We had to prepare more lunch on those days as there were more mouths to feed. 1 of my colleague made some New Orleans wings that he oven roasted with some premix barbecue hot sauce. It had the word 'HOT' and was it ever!

He marinated the wings overnight with the sauce then oven roasted it. Every 5 minutes of roasting he baited the wings with the hot sauce adding more flavor to it as it caramelised in the oven but as well intensifying the spiciness as he did that.

It was one of the hottest meals we have ever had for our staff meal lunches. The part timers were literally taking gulps of water after every bite which we found hilarious. Wasn't a great start to their first free meal cooked by us 😅 haha

Although the wings were super spicy, it was extremely flavorful and if it really is 'New Orleans' authentic, man they really can take spicy food.
