Cookbook talk:Midwestern Chicken Wings

Yes, there is a new, free, non copyrighted cookbook that came in the mail recently. It has the same recipe.

I said to my mom "isnt this your recipe?", and she agreed it was the same, but said "Josh, its not a unique family recipe. Its just chicken wings"

But damn it, it's the best thing she cooks...

It is what we call "generic" or traditional much like British Blues. You know Clapton. Page, Beck, and others imported the likes of Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters to learn their guitar riffs and record their versions... What connection relates to this recipe, simple. Early Brits Band which some of later great guitarist, was named the yard birds. Slang for chicken!
