IN THE KITCHEN
Steal this winning chicken recipe

Chef Evan Turney’s take on chicken and waffles—a wing dipped in waffle batter and fried.
Varga Bar executive chef Evan Turney fancies himself a chicken-wing expert, and for the second straight year, he has challenged others to a cook-off.
This year's competition, held on Super Bowl Sunday, pitted Turney against Brendan Walsh, of The Standard Tap.
Each cook brought three flavors. While Walsh's “General Brendan’s Chicken” wings put up a good fight, Turney's riff on chicken and waffles stole the show.
Four celeb judges and restaurant patrons voted. Turney won, but Walsh didn’t walk away empty-handed. Turney agreed to give Walsh the prize anyway: dinner for two.
The winning wings are on the menu at Varga Bar, 10th and Spruce Streets.
