Finger Lickin' Brussel Sprouts!!!

So... here's what happened tonight 'round dinner time? First this: I kept a promise to an eighth grader who EARNED his way (on a very bad day) to this bucket full of Hanger Wings (long story, his request). Let's just say, in this house (aka boy's locker room) there's this unfulfilled fantasy of eating Hanger Wings with Adam Sandler while watching Tommy Boy. Oh... and that fact makes me sooooo proud.... So, since there was this Hanger Wings promise happening... this had to happen too! Fresh Hadley corn (oh, my....). So we put "Hanger Wing Boy" to work while I made this!!!!!!! Roasted brussel sprouts with garlic-sriracha aoli... and it might just be the BEST thing I've ever made!!! First things first: This aoli (fancy-pants word for mayonnaise) is KILLER GOOD! You could put this on tree bark, a flip-flop, eat it and you'd LOVE it! Here's how this incredible 3 minute aoli started... In a mixing bowl add 1/2 cup mayo, 2 garlic cloves pressed, 1/2 the juice of one lemon and the zest of 1/2 of that lemon. Then add 1 tablespoon sriracha, 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, salt and pepper! Whisk it all up and you get this! Taste it... but only if you want to BLOW YOUR MIND and your mouth with killer aoli flavor!! This sauce is MONEY!!! So, park this in the fridge while you get the sprouts ready (armed guard, optional)! Wash, quarter and drizzle the sprouts with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Pop into a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, and you'll get this!! Roasty-toasty tasty sprouts!!! So good, but when paired with this garlic-sriracha aoli, it will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!! Finger lickin' roasted sprouts with garlic-sriracha aoli! Even with Hanger Wings in the joint.... the sprouts were gone first! Sprouts always steal the show! Do yourself a flavor-favor... make these, eat these, and make some for your friends!!!
