Nothing but a chicken wing

Growing up in South Florida there was a great wing place my good friend, Tara, and I used to frequent at least once a month.  I like to think we had pretty distinguished pallets at a young age because Chez Porkys was very sophisticated for a couple of high school kids!  We always split our wings and ordered them over rice with a side of curly fries (in high school, calories don't count), our favorite sauces were Asian, Lemon Garlic and Butter and the sweetest most delicious Raspberry wings I have ever tasted.   Living in Atlanta I miss Tara and I miss Chez Porkys...I also miss eating curly fries without thinking about how I shouldn't be eating curly fries, ugh.

This recipe pays tribute to my high school days....I give you grilled coconut curry wings with fresh cilantro!  They make great wings on game day!!!  You can also try boneless skinless breasts (dredge in flour first) sauté in a little olive oil and serve with the sauce over jasmine rice.
