Garlic Ginger Wings
To brine or not to brine? To marinate or not to marinate? These are only two of the many questions folks who enjoy cooking have to ask on a regular basis. My answer: sometimes yes to one, sometimes yes to both, sometimes no to both…you get where this is going. Each method has a different benefit or even a downfall.

Anyways, fried chicken sandwiches are a secret obsession of mine. While I fully admit that there are better sandwiches out there, there is just something so delicious and simple about these things. The beautiful part is, they are really hard to mess up. If you've got even just a little…
