Yesterday I Introduced a Super Bowl inspired cocktail for your enjoyment, the Golden Gate. I mentioned in the posting that part of my plans for the Super Bowl was enjoying some chicken wings as well. In that vein of thought, I have decided to share a nice recipe called Dab On ‘Em Wings which features a Dabbing sauce made with Crown Royal De Luxe Canadian Whisky®.
This recipe embraces the relationship between Carolina Panther star Quarterback, Cam Newton and the ‘Dab’. The Dab is a new hip hop dance move which has become part of Cam’s end zone celebration. Some of his opponents have claimed that the move which bears a striking resemblance to a bicep flex is more of a taunt than a celebration. (I say, if you don’t want Cam to Dab, don’t let him score or throw touchdowns.)
If you are a Panther fan, you will want to see Cam do a whole lotta dabbing on Sunday; if you are a Broncos fan, the only dabbing you will want to see is with chicken wings and the delicious sauce.
If you like sticky chicken wings, try this recipe. It is easy to prepare mixing Crown Royal De Luxe Canadian Whisky® with honey, garlic, soy sauce, chili sauce. and a packet of stir fry mix. I recommend you make the sauce and prep the wings the night before, and then refrigerate them overnight. On game day, just set up your barbeque so that you can start grilling half an hour before kick-off.
And of course, since the game starts at 4:00 MST. It is perfectly alright to mix yourself a Canadian Whisky Splash with the Crown Royal De Luxe Whisky to enjoy while you are cooking.

Review: Crown Royal De Luxe Whisky
Evan Williams Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a whiskey brand produced and bottled in Kentucky by Heaven Hill. This company refers to its entry-level whiskey as a ‘black label brand’, and as such it is meant to be the flag bearer of the Evan Williams line-up. The whiskey has no age statement, however the Evan Williams website tells us that it is aged longer than required by law. (Straight whiskeys must by law be aged for 2 years in new oak barrels; however, if they do not have an age statement they must be aged for 4 years. )
Dulce Vida Tequila
Sometimes when I take the first sip of new rum, I close my eyes; and I let the rum show me where it belongs. This rum brought me to an old tavern, close to the docks. The kind of place you see in old movies where the rum flows and stories get taller in the telling. The place has an oily, tobacco stained floor. Cigarette smoke drifts up to the ceiling mingling here and there with the occasional smell of a Cuban cigar.
