I Can Do Another 12
Chicken Wing Review – I Can Do Another 12 History
We always had this idea and love for chicken wings. After the Covid-19 pandemic, we decided to lend our support to local bars and restaurants by launching an engaging chicken wing review show called “I Can Do Another 12.”
What is the I Can Do Another 12 History? The simplest explanation is that we were all eating and drinking at an oyster bar when the waitress asked if we wanted anything else. PFFMaestro replied, “Yeah, I Can Do Another 12,” which provoked a lot of laughter at the table.
In the beginning, we would just do a photo social media post, tagging the place, and that was pretty much it. We felt the need to expand and turn it into an actual video show. We’re mapping all the episodes as seasons that run from January to December yearly. We’ve crossed the 30-episode milestone and began Season 2 in January 2023. It’s been an enriching journey, meeting a diverse array of people, surpassing all my initial expectations. The main aim is to spotlight the best chicken wings around while offering complimentary publicity for these remarkable local businesses. Cheers!
Below is our original charting and scoring…

π¨ #icandoanother12 review... The family was getting a @dominos pizza so we added a #hotwings order to see how theyβre doing. Realizing these are fast food #chickenwings I went with the Sweet Mango Habanero Sauce and itβs what saved it. Wings were mushy, maybe next time Iβll finish them off on my grill π. Overall 5.5... Sauce was tasty!ππ₯π»
