Welcome to the first recipe of our newest partnership! We have partnered with Queen Creek Olive Mill to create a new recipe each month featuring one of their delicious products. Just in time for Memorial Day, we have created a recipe for Jalapeno Pineapple Teriyaki Grilled Wings. This recipe uses their recently released seasonal Fresh Crush Jalapeno Olive Oil.
For those of you who don’t know, we have a long-standing love and relationship with Queen Creek Olive Mill. We interviewed the owner Perry Rea way back when after one of our first foodie adventures. We love QCOM so much that we even got married there. We looked at a few other venues but knew in our hearts that our special day had to be there. When we were asked if we were interested in partnering with them, the answer was a resounding YES!
For our first recipe, we chose to tackle something we’d never done on the site, chicken wings. Since it is May and Memorial Day recipes are in high demand, we decided on grilled wings. We weren’t sure how to do this so we consulted Google and used Mark Bittman’s wing grilling method. We wanted to develop a more tropical flavor for our sauce so we created a teriyaki sauce and added the Jalapeno Olive Oil to give it a kick.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our first Recipe from the Mill! Next month’s recipe will feature Queen Creek Olive Mill’s Pomegranate White Balsamic Vinegar. What type of recipe would you like us to create? Appetizer? Side Dish? Let us know! Leave a comment below or use the hashtag #GeekEats!
