Grilled Sweet & Spicy BBQ Bat Wings
It’s time for some Halloween grilling and the first thing offered up at ghoul and ghostly outdoor grilling parties are servings of BAT WINGS! Wait… bats? Actually… that’s probably a horrible idea! Bats don’t have meaty wings and they’re known to carry rabies! That’s not a good combination when it comes to serving party food.
About Bats
According to historians of Batman, almost 40 actors have played the role of the “Caped Crusader” in movies, TV, radio, and animated series. It all started with Lewis G. Wilson, father of Executive Director of the James Bond series – Michael G. Wilson, who played Batman in the 1940’s Columbia Pictures series.
