Karbach Hopadillo Chicken Wings
In honor of all things Houston, I introduce to you crispy, Karbach Hopadillo Chicken Wings! My heart and taste buds just about exploded when I put these two together! They’re a match made in heaven and a perfect appetizer for Super Bowl Sunday! I’ve visited Karbach Brewery in Houston several times since moving here, and I love the chill vibe and outdoor biergarten! For just $9 you get a souvenir glass and 4 beer tokens, so grab your buds and head on over to Karbach on a sunny day! Although it’s still mainly a Texas thing, I’m excited that the World will soon get to know Karbach craft beer!

The secret to making the chicken wings crispy, without having to fry them, is in the corn starch! So although you could make them without this ingredient, you won’t want to skip it! The Sriracha combined with the honey gives you a perfect balance of spicy and sweetness, and the beer infuses right into the chicken! You get an all around balanced wing that’s savory, sticky, and saucy! Cuidado, much like the Hopadillo don’t underestimate the Sriracha, the heat slowly sneaks up on you, you’ve been warned. Elevate your wing game, and try this twist on a football favorite this Sunday! What’s your favorite, the drumstick or the wing?
