Preparing For The Big Chicken Wing Party?

Game day watchers are projected to eat more than a billion wings

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

F

ootball fans might be surprised at the matchup, but one thing is not surprising: America’s love for chicken wings. This is never more apparent than on the final game day, when wings are at their hottest. Last year, Americans were anticipated to devour 1.42 billion wings while watching the the two final teams battle for the Lombardi Trophy, according the National Chicken Council’s (NCC) Wing Report.

“There will be no wing shortage,” said NCC spokesperson Tom Super. “Like almost anything else you buy right now, wings might be a little more expensive, but they’ll be stocked. I just wouldn’t wait until kickoff to be in line or order online.”

Last year, wholesale wing prices were down 19 percent from a mid-year high, according to USDA data. Retail wing prices are up about $0.30 per pound on average from the same time last year. Why the uptick? Many costs, like the price of chicken wings, have increased because of unusually high demand, record input costs, labor shortages that have reduced the supply of many goods, and government spending programs that have flooded the economy.

Greater demand and less supply equals higher prices, ultimately resulting in the highest inflation that the country has seen in 40 years.

“Demand for chicken wings has been through the roof since the beginning of the pandemic,” Super added. “A shift from sit-down restaurants to takeout and quick service has boosted chicken wing consumption. Restaurants like wing joints and pizza places were built around takeout and delivery, and as long as people are sitting around watching TV and maybe drinking a beer, wings will remain in the game.”

To help meet increased demand last year, some chicken producers diverted birds traditionally marketed as whole birds for parts instead, like wings. More good news is the end-December frozen wing inventory totaled 73.2 million pounds, up 70 percent from last year, which should provide some cushion. Chicken companies, retailers and restaurants have planned ahead for the Big Game.

Maybe one day we can settle the debate over flats versus drums, but for now, editors at Anton Media Group, along with some of the most credible “Foodies” of the Facebook page Long Island Foodies, have shared their top picks for best local wings, in no particular order:

A Delicious Long Island Heritage The history of Zorn’s of Bethpage Zorn’s has been making delicious homemade food since 1940 when Peter Zorn opened his first retail store on Long Island. His vision was to offer wholesome, made-from-scratch meals using the freshest ingredients that busy families could take home with them, creating one of New York’s first take-out services. We are proud to be listed on the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry which honors businesses that have been in operation for at least 50 years and have contributed to their communities’ history.

I

n the 1930s, prior to the retail business in Bethpage, the Zorn family owned seven poultry farms on Long Island selling chickens and turkeys to wholesalers in Queens and the Bronx. At the time the Bethpage area was primarily farmland.

A short time after, he added his soon-to-be-famous southern fried chicken and bar-b-que spare ribs. This turned into a thriving take-out business.

His menu kept growing as he met his customers’ needs. Before long he had a complete catering menu serving Long Island families all year long. Take-out meals and catering were new concepts in the 1950s and became very popular on Long Island. Many tried to imitate this concept, but Zorn’s Poultry Farms was always number one.

Today Zorn’s is owned and operated

by Merrill S. Zorn, Peter Zorn’s only granddaughter, who grew up working in all aspects of the family business.

“We use the same recipes and cooking methods as my grandfather. Some of our traditions are looked upon as old-fashioned by today’s standards, but this is how we maintain our high quality and consistency. The value of our generous portions, personalized customer service, quality ingredients, and our family recipes have made our business a success,” said Merrill. “There is always a Zorn in the kitchen making sure that the original recipes passed down from my grandparents, are still prepared with the same quality and pride that they were 80 years ago!”

Zorn’s of Bethpage has transformed several times over the past 80 + years.

For decades it was home to a functioning poultry farm and thousands of chickens and turkeys. In 2019, Merrill took on a massive undertaking by moving the entire business into a brand new 8,000 sq. ft. store at the same address in Bethpage.

She was personally involved in the design of the new building and listened to customers’ ideas and suggestions

Score Big With Buffalo ranch popcorn Nothing blasts the winter blues like gathering your favorite fans to watch the Big Game. ood friends, a giant flat screen TV and fantastic food make it worth everyone’s while to come out of hibernation.

Remember, though, under those football jerseys and team tees is your beach body — and yes, Memorial Day is just three short months away.

Happily, there are options that will get you swimsuit ready without skimping on Game Day flavor. Of course, there’s always the standard veggie platter (skip the dip!). But gathering with friends to watch the Big Game is a time-honored tradition that comes with its own special menu, at the top of which is an American favorite: Buffalo wings.

Named for their birthplace of Buffalo, New York, these bad boys are a staple of Game Day gatherings everywhere. But six of them will set you back more than 400 calories. Add ranch or blue cheese dressing and in you’re in for at least a couple hundred more.

This year, shake out the fat and calories by pairing spicy Buffalo taste with another American classic: popcorn.

A healthful whole grain (fiber), naturally low in fat, popcorn delivers the satisfying crunch your guests crave. This easy-to make Buffalo Ranch Seasoning Mix lets you sprinkle the crowd-pleasing flavor of wings on top of a heart-healthy snack that won’t bring regrets on the scale come Monday morning. Touchdown!

G

Perfect for game time and super easy to make, you’ll be the hit at any tailgating party.

Yield: about 2 tablespoons seasoning mix Ingredients 1 tablespoon ranch dressing or dip mix (from a 1 ounce package) 1 tablespoon seafood spice mix (or celery salt) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (or sugar) 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil 6 quarts popped popcorn Cooking spray, optional Directions In a small bowl, blend ranch dressing mix, spice mix, garlic powder, powdered sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle with vegetable oil and blend until well incorporated.

Place popcorn in a serving bowl and spray lightly with cooking spray. Sprinkle seasoning mix over popcorn to taste and toss. Store leftover seasoning mix in an airtight container for future use.

How To Cut And Serve Cheese

This Valentine’s Day

How to cut cheese may seem obvious, but there are many ways to improve your cheeseboard with a bit of creativity around your cheeses. Here, we’ll explore some ways to cut your cheese and the possibilities it opens up. But to get started, we recommend watching Chef Greg Gable’s video on how to make a perfect cheeseboard (www.cheeselovershop.com).

Choose an appropriate knife to cut your cheese

Different cheeses require different cutting techniques, to keep the cheese’s shape intact. For example, hard cheese needs to be cut with a sharp knife (or you simply won’t manage to cut it).

However, if you try to cut a soft, ripened cheese with a sharp knife, the rind may stick to the edge, and your cheese may end up losing its shape. For soft, ripened cheese, use a knife with no edge, such as a butter knife. In the same vein, a crumbly cheese tends to stick to the blade, even with hollow-edged knives.

The best way to keep its shape intact and ensure better visual appeal is to use a wire slicer.

(formerly Molinari Jewelers)

while this type of rub doesn’t normally stick to the rind, it will stick to the paste of your cheese.

• For your gratins and the like, a horizontal cut allows the rind to be spread more evenly, for a better crust.

If you want to cut your cheese horizontally and still serve it in a practical format to your guests, you can combine the two cuts, and cut the cheese into slices after separating the two halves. This combination is appealing for the flower-shaped Dorothy’s cheeses, in order to make beautiful petal-shaped slices.

Other ways to present your cheese

Often, cheese is cut into slices, pretty much like a pie. However, you can choose to slice it horizontally, which gives you three main benefits: • It makes the creamy paste more apparent, which gives a unique visual appeal, for example, to Saint André cheese.

• It allows some hard rubs, such as a granola rub, to be used on your cheese;

Some cheeses are better served whole, to be cut at the table. However, most cheeseboards look prettier if the hard cheeses are pre-cut. Depending on the shape of your slices, the best choice for presentation may differ. For rectangular cheeses, present your slices spread in an arc, like a fan of playing cards. For triangular slices, try stacking them up—just make sure that every edge faces the same way for a better effect.

Gable is the research chef for Savencia Cheese USA. Visit www.cheeselovershop. com to read more from Gable.

Heart Healthy Treats For Valentine’s Day

BY TINA MCGEOUGH

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Who doesn’t love sharing a sweet treat with a loved one on Valentine’s Day. With February also being American Heart Month, here are a few ways you can show your loved ones, and their hearts, some love with sweet, heart-healthy ideas.

Dates

For candy bar lovers—stuffed dates can taste like your favorite one.

To make them, simply split the date in half and remove the pit. Stuff the inside with peanut butter and drizzle the top with melted chocolate. Then, sprinkle on peanuts and pop into the fridge until the chocolate has hardened.

The combination of fiber, protein and healthy fat can also help make a meal or snack more filling and satisfying, and you’re getting all three here. You can swap out the peanut butter for any nut butter of choice or for an allergy friendly swap, use sunflower butter.

Dates can also be used to make betterfor-you brownie bites.

Blend dates with oats, nut butter and

cocoa powder for a chocolatey treat with less added sugar than your typical brownie.

Plus, you’ll also be getting some hearthealthy fiber from the dates and wholegrain oats. Many whole grains, including oats, contain a type of fiber, called beta glucan, which may help lower cholesterol levels.

another Valentine’s favorite, but often contain ingredients that our hearts don’t love, such as added sugar. Instead of chocolate frosting, frost your cupcakes with chocolate hummus.

Chocolate hummus is rich, creamy and has that delicious chocolatey sweet flavor you’re looking for, but nearly three times less added sugar than a typical chocolate frosting.

You can also use chocolate hummus as a sweet dip for a snacking board. A mix of berries, almonds, pretzels and chocolate hummus is a fun way to pair sweet and savory treats.

Fruit Dessert

About 80 percent of Americans don’t meet recommended fruit intakes, so fruit-forward desserts are a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth, while also bumping up daily fruit intake. This simple

Blueberry Pie Foil Packet can be made in less than 20 minutes.

Mix blueberries, applesauce and cornstarch in one bowl, and olive oil, cinnamon, granola and salt in another.

Spoon the blueberry mixture into cooking spray-lined aluminum foil and top with granola mixture. Fold the foil over the filling and cook in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the blueberries have burst.

Granola: The first ingredient in this granola is whole grain oats which are a heart healthy pick. Many whole grains, including oats, contain a type of fiber, called beta glucan, which may help lower cholesterol levels.

Blueberries: Berries are packed with heart-healthy fiber and antioxidants.
