LeftOVER fix- Chicken wings, and rice

We all have those leftovers that we just don't know what to do with or how to make them taste good after being perfect the night before-- well here is my take on our left over appetizer of fried chicken wings and white rice. Adding to the mix of an already good left over is as simple as changing 1 side.
We added Collards to fix the mix! Now in a time crunch cooking fresh greens is not very ideal, so we took a risk and used Glory Greens from a can.. I know what your thinking.. I made the same face when I thought about it but was so pleased with the way everything turned out.

To REVAMP your canned Greens you will need:
- 1 package smoked pork neck bones or ham hock
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 spoon full bacon bits (we use packaged oscar mayer)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 tbsp white sugar
- Dash of red pepper flakes
- Splash of apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 Cans Glory seasoned canned collards

TO MAKE:
1) Place neck bones and or ham hocks in a medium saucepan
2) Add can(s) of collards juices and all
3) In a small pan heat up bacon bits and sauté onions and garlic, if you have left over bacon grease or shortening, use a small spoonful when sautéing, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper to your likings
4) Add a splash of vinegar and sugar to your greens pot, stir in cooked onions-bacon bits- and garlic
5) Leave on a low simmer 20-25 mins

To reheat fried chicken wings, heat oven to 350F place on baking sheet and heat until hot flipping once (about 20-25 minutes) re-cooking wings in the oven should give them a crunch as oppose to reheating in the microwave.

Rice is heated in the microwave.
