Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 14:20 Wings - Mac's Brewbar, Wellington Waterfront

I just wanted to post a quick comment on my last encounter with Chicken Wings, which was at the bar I think has the best outdoors area in Wellington. That's mostly because I really like the floating crane Hikitia which neatly blocks views of Wellington's container terminal across the water at the Port.
Anyway, i'd wanted to go back and get a picture of the Wings at Mac's Brewbar for a while as I had found them very delicious. Only this time they were different - instead of the dry spiced Cajun wings, we now had a sticky something-else kind of Wings.
I wasn't sloshed, but for whatever reason I couldn't pick what these were supposed to be. I settled on calling them either under-soyed 5-Spice & Honey Soy Wings, or under-chillied Jerk Wings. They weren't bad, and the wings were very well cooked - moist & delicious. But flavour wise they just didn't pack a punch at all.
I saw later that the Cajun Wings are still on the bar menu, so perhaps we accidentally got a special or something from the Restaurant menu. Who knows, but don't go for this variety - unless you like kinda bland, yet quite sweet sauces, on your chook.
