HOW TO MAKE MAPLE BACON WRAPPED WINGS
You guys know how much I love all things bacon right? I mean from my fried corn recipe to my loaded corn on the cob recipe to my how to make maple bacon donuts post, it’s evident right? Bacon certainly makes everything better in my honest opinion.
But let me be very clear, I don’t just eat any ole kind of bacon. Lol! It must be sliced thick and it must be free pasture-raised bacon! After all, you are what you eat. Lol! These pigs live outside in fields, eat green plants & acorns and are just happier than their counterparts due to their healthier environment.
Their also higher in Vitamin D because of all of that outdoor life in the sunshine. These pigs also have more Omega 3’s than their factory-farmed cousins. SCORE!!! So their you have it! If you’re gonna eat pork, make sure it’s CLEAN pork!! 🙂
According to Romans 14:14, Paul states, “I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.” So what are your thoughts on eating pork? Would love for you to chime in!!! I do draw the line at chitlins by the way!!! Lol!!
Now let’s get back to this how to make maple bacon wrapped wings recipe. The smoky flavorful bacon keeps the chicken wings moist and absorbs all of the delicious flavors of the simple and easy maple bbq sauce. They get tossed into the oven until the bacon is crisps and the chicken is golden and full of flavor. This recipe can also be easily adapted for a low carb diet as noted. I hope you’ll try them. Have a happy International Bacon Day!!! Say Grace and enjoy folks!!
