Technically yes but it's very simple. Butter, garlic, black pepper, and a whole bunch of hot sauce. I use Frank's since that's the classic flavor but any hot sauce works great!
I think sweet can be good if it's balanced with spicy. Otherwise it gets cloying.
Never tried breaded wings before, I always just focus on crisping the skin as much as possible. Will have to think on that one...
Rice and beans. Can make a massive amount at a time. Adding some sausage or coconut milk makes it even heartier and adds interesting flavors without much effort.
Just finished the Food Lab by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, and I really loved it! There are plenty of recipes in it, but it is more focused on techniques and the "why" behind a lot of things. I'd also recommend his YouTube channel super heavily.
Elite topping choices.
