I have a definite weakness for sticky-sweet-spicy chicken wing sauces, and this might be the ultimate. I know, I say that every time, but when you have to keep tasting the sauce “just to make sure it’s still ok” while the wings cook, you realize that some good things are about to happen to your… Continue reading Honey Mustard Wings with a Kick
Earlier this year I entered a recipe contest sponsored by Biad Chili Products. I submitted this recipe from She Cooks He Cleans, which won 5 pounds of roasted Hatch green chiles and an entry in Biad’s 2nd Annual Tough Book of Green Chile Recipes. We have really been enjoying the chiles, which arrived frozen in… Continue reading Chicken and Roasted Green Chile Stew
We were out of town last week, although not really vacationing. I had envisioned cooking up a storm and having lots of things to post, but soon after arriving at our non-airconditioned home (in a desert) those plans fell to the wayside. I forget how much turning on a stove or oven heats the entire… Continue reading Chicken Piccata with Rainbow Chard
Modified from Daniel Boulud’s Chicken Lasagna I have to warn you straight up about this recipe – it is incredibly rich. Not rich as in “I always fly first class.” Not rich as in “We fly our own plane and have a time-share ski cabin in Aspen.” It’s rich like “Please have the pilot ready… Continue reading Chicken Lasagna with Mushrooms and Fontina Cheese
When we are in Santa Fe, I like to attempt at least one Southwestern-inspired dish, and with that, hopefully add an ingredient that is new to me. This recipe for Chicken Tamales sounded interesting and included tomatillos – a tart little tomato-like fruit that I have not cooked with before. However, I didn’t want to… Continue reading Chicken Tamale Casserole (with Roasted Tomatillo, Cilantro and Green Chile Sauce)
Outside of winter holidays, we rarely have turkey. For some reason, I never think about turkey – and for the two of us, even a small whole turkey is too much. A 2-3 pound turkey breast, however, is just right for a meal or two, plus a couple of sandwiches. I ordered this boneless, skinless… Continue reading Bacon-Wrapped Turkey Breast
Anytime we go on vacation…actually, anytime we leave the house… Mr. “He Cleans” is on a quest for vinyl. As in LPs, records, albums, and what have you. This is the source of much of the incredible music I get to listen to, so no complaints here. However, I hope there is either a comfy… Continue reading Classic Paella
Recipe from Food & Fire, slightly modified Last week, our Whole Foods had a sale on locally raised, pastured, whole chickens. I got four of them since the price was so good! However, my ability to cut up a raw chicken (or rather, lack thereof) is an insult to the bird and a danger to… Continue reading Jerk Chicken
Always on the lookout for another way to serve chicken wings, I read quite a few recipes before the “big day”. I am of course referring to Superbowl Sunday, unquestionably the biggest day of the year for chicken wing consumption. According to the National Chicken Council‘s 2012 Wing Report (really, I am not making this… Continue reading Grilled Chicken Wings Mole
Santa brought me several bags of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free, Dairy Free Pizza Crust mix this past Christmas. Evidently Santa not only knows when you’ve been bad or good, but he also is aware when you have been suffering a serious craving for pizza! Since I haven’t experimented with making my own gluten-free crust from… Continue reading BBQ Chicken, Bacon, and Pineapple Pizza (gluten free)
…and a product review for Bone Suckin’ Sauce! I love bbq chicken on the grill – especially the bits of crispy skin with sauce, blackened with caramelized sugar from the flames. However some days grilling outdoors just isn’t going to happen, for instance when the cold winter wind is blowing rain. Brrr! Thankfully, pretty-fine barbeque… Continue reading Oven Barbequed Chicken
Suddenly it is almost dinner time, and I haven’t the faintest idea of what I’m going to cook. This is an opportunity to take inventory of what is in the refrigerator, then google it and see what you come up with. It is food roulette – there are hardly any ingredients that someone hasn’t thought… Continue reading Chicken with Mushrooms and Grapes
This is a nice, simple soup for a cool evening! This recipe is part of our feature on U.S. Wellness Meats, “Music and Meals to Warm You Up“. Visit their website for free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, and other great products! Although I haven’t tried it, coconut milk can probably be substituted for the heavy cream… Continue reading Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Soup
Leftover turkey. I love it for the first couple of days, then…what to do with it? This recipe for turkey enchiladas is my new favorite way to transform that leftover turkey into something that doesn’t seem like a leftover! Our turkey happened to be smoked, but you could use any cooked turkey or chicken for… Continue reading Smoked Turkey Enchiladas with Cranberry Salsa
