PC Crisp & Crunchy Spicy Southern Style Chicken Wings ~ FWR

I preach the gospel of fresh wings. Fresh, not frozen. But sometimes, you need a wing fix that can only be stored in one's freezer. Is it sacrilege to turn to boxed frozen wings then?


Frozen wings are not my favourite. But every time I am in the grocery store I walk by them and I am tempted by them, because I have a sickness for wings. But I rarely get them because they are more money than I wish to pay at the supermarket. However, one fine day at the beginning of December, I came across a box of wings that were on sale, and looked different than your typical frozen wing.

PC Crisp & Crunchy Spicy Southern Wings. 1) Doesn't that just sound good? Like a good comfort meal? 2) What is with PC and the super long names?????

These pre-breaded frozen wings looked like little monsters in the squarish box. In fact, they looked like mini-KFC drumsticks. About 20 mins in the oven, and I would be having some hopefully tasty wings.

Well, PC delivered on most of their title claims. They were definitely crispy and crunchy. They were definitely Southern style. But what they weren't was spicy.

There was a faint hint of spice in the wings, but nothing even an amateur couldn't easily handle. But the taste of a good piece of deep fried chicken was maintained by this frozen poultry.



The chicken was nice and juicy. It was just good tasting chicken.

Eventually, I needed to add some hot sauce just to spice things up. I added some Frank's Buffalo Sauce (Review coming up next) and that really completed the wings.

FINAL SCORE:

Ok, these wings were not spicy, which was a disappointment to me. But other than that, they were probably the best frozen wings, in terms of chicken itself, I have ever had. I can eat them plain, but they are definitely better with sauce. Kudos PC on a great product that is as righteous if not more so than some restaurants. Now just lower the general price please. 10/15
