That's it, Toni, I think I am officially in love with you. These look GORGEOUS. I am WAY too hungry to be looking at such beautiful food. And you're AWESOME for doing a beer comparison – I've never seen that brand!
El says
love the way you think. Sumac. what a concept. love this recipe and love hearing about your journey. I feel soooo much better without gluten, and my best advice is just stay away from processed foods. They hide the stuff.
I'm definitely gonna try this. thanks. el
Boulder Locavore says
What a lovely compliment, thank you! I agree on processed food, gluten free or not. A fabulous side effect of no gluten as I'm sure you discovered is it's very easy to eat 'safely' with whole foods. A nice trail to easy health. But of course one can subsist on Snickers and Cheetos and be gluten free (back to your advice on processed foods!). Hope you will try it El. It really was very simple and delish.

I think I'm in love with you. Really. These wings look TO DIE FOR! And I've never seen that line of beer. Wish I weren't going through all the swap posts SO HUNGRY! He he he!
Boulder Locavore says
You are too funny! The wings are really good if I do say so myself. I don't remember from their list if the beer is available in NYC but I would think it is. Be on the lookout!
Julia says
I'm not a HUGE beer drinker, and I don't have to eat gluten free, but that raspberry ale sure does sound good! And paired with these wings and the refreshing yogurt sauce. Can I just come over and eat all of your leftovers? If there's any left…
Boulder Locavore says
Sadly no leftovers and I made a second batch too! The raspberry ale IS good. And as I shared I did not expect to like it. The quality of the raspberry taste is very organic and good. Well thought through brewing; not just a gratuituous placement of fruit in an ale!
Cake Duchess says
I really admire you for gringing your rice for the spice in these yummy chickens wings. So creative and I bet they were just delicious! I never had sumac before and now am very curious and need to look for it at the Middle Eastern Market near my house. Excellent yogurt dip and I have to agree with Julia that the raspberry would be my favorite in the beers;)
Boulder Locavore says
Thank you! You should try sumac Lora (plus how fun to poke around the Middle Eastern market!). It's a beautiful spice and I'm sure you'd find many uses for it. It's is light and seems like a great match for warm weather dishes!
Lana says
Next time I expect you not only to raise the chicken from the egg up, but to butcher it:) All I can do is stupidly blink at my monitor trying to envision your day. Thanks for the inspiration – I will grind my own rice one of these days:)
We have a few Persian stores in the neighborhood and I bought sumac there after trying it at an Azerbaijani restaurant in Berkeley. You are right, it is truly underrated and it adds a nice tart note to many dishes.
My coffee grinder designated for spices died just before we moved and I have to get another ASAP (even though I have a beautiful molcajete y tejolote I brought from Yucatan).
Thanks for another adventurous and entertaining read!
Boulder Locavore says
Ok, ok. I get this alot. I'll stop myself before installing my own rice paddy in the backyard! I would love chickens though; my HOA would not. Love reading your posts Lana and I appreciate you coming by for a read too!
Rachel says
You know you've made something fabulous when a vegetarian really wants to eat it, even if it's meat. Seriously. Wow. I am making your wild rice sumac rub and rubbing it on…something.
I may not care much about the super bowl but I'm really glad it inspired you to make these wings!
Boulder Locavore says
I kind of feel like the Superbowl isn't even about the game anymore! I hope you will make rub. Wonder if you could put it on firm, marinated tofu and grill it? I loved the nutty flavor of the toasted wild rice.
Carolyn says
Wow, Toni, what a creative way to work that wild rice into a game day treat. I had my fill of wings yesterday…ours were with jerk seasoning. Yum!
Boulder Locavore says
Yummy! The rice when toasted really tastes nutty and give extra texture. It was a hit! Hoping you had a fun and festive day too!
Kirsten says
Hi Toni,
Can you believe that I have never made wings? I have to share with you that I have an aversion with food that leaves traces of sauce/ stuff on my face. I know that sounds pathetic, right? The pictures you took are just great and I was wondering if I could also use a fork and knife to eat the wings.
Thanks for your comment on the blog move. I am still working on things, but I am glad the major work is done.
Have a great day.
Kirsten

You are funny! I appreciate the 'true confessions'. My feeling is you can do whatever you want with regard to how you eat food! If you'd feel better eating wings with a knife and fork go for it! I suspect part of their charm however IS eating them with one's fingers. Like putting your feet on the coffee table with shoes on.
Lindsay @ Rosemarried says
I'm not a huge fan of wings — but THESE wings look amazing! I love that you shifted your recipe idea from a wild rice harvest cake to wings! Way to be flex! And I love that the recipe was in the spirit of the superbowl. Next year I'm inviting myself over to your place to watch the game. š
Boulder Locavore says
These are definitely 'not your Mama's chicken wings'. The rub made them very flavorful in an untraditional way. Football lover or not, I think the Super Bowl is too iconic for Americans to ignore!
