Wings & Ranch with Chef Fred

Do you know what I like the most about February? It is one month closer to spring. Burrr out there family!  I also like February because of the events going on in Las Vegas: Glass Vegas Expo, CaterSource Expo, Champs Trade Show, Super Bowl, NBA All Star Game and Valentine’s Day. It is going to be busy and everyone’s gonna be hungry. My world famous chicken wings are coming out to parties this year. Trays of my favorite three flavored wings, BBQ, Teriyaki and Fire Wings. This recipe has made thousands of people believe in the wing. Myself included. The recipe would not be complete without an infused ranch recipe to finish the deluxe wings. Sexy and complementing for every party. I look forward to seeing everyone attending the Champs Trade Show. You can find me in the Doob Tubes booth with Ray, come say high!
