Wings Recipe – Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

07/16/202204/21/2017 by Chef Buck

This oven baked wings recipe is a healthier and less messy chicken wing dish, compared to traditionally fried wings. These chicken wings are super tasty whether you eat them with or without a salt and pepper seasoned topping, or wing sauce. This seasoned wings recipe is based on salt and pepper style dishes I love ordering at Chinese restaurants.

What You Need For A Crispy Wings Recipe

3 lbs CHICKEN WINGS
10-12 GARLIC CLOVES, finely chopped
big bunch of CILANTRO, chopped (stems and leaves)
3-4 GREEN ONIONS, chopped, bottoms separated from tops…use the green tops as a garnish
1-2 JALAPENOS, finely chopped (or substitute red pepper flakes)
2 Tbsp BAKING POWDER*
1 tsp TURMERIC POWDER
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp ONION POWDER
1 tsp CHILI POWDER (I used chipotle, or smoked jalapeno in the video)
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
OIL to saute seasoning topping

*Baking Powder is a mixture that works similarly to some cooking properties of baking soda and cornstarch.

How to Make a Crispy Wings Recipe

Preparing and Cooking The Wings:

I generally remove the skin from chicken, but not when I’m baking this wings recipe; that crisp cooked skin is what makes chicken wings so tasty.
Buy your wings already cut up, or cut them up yourself at home. [They’re not difficult to process at home, just cut easily between the joints, and be sure and save the wing tips to use for a chicken broth.]

1) Pat chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and set aside. Do not add oil, there’s plenty of fat in the skin. [If your wings are room temperature (they haven’t been cooled in the frig), you may need to wet your wings before patting dry. You want the chicken to have a bit of moisture to it, so plenty of the seasoning will stick to it.]
2) Combine the baking powder and powdered seasonings in a bowl and mix together well.
3) Toss the wingettes and drumettes with the dry coating.
4) Arrange the chicken pieces on a wire rack over a baking pan and place in an oven preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Here’s a good option if you want to check current prices for an oven-safe roasting rack on amazon.
5) Cook wings for 50-60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes until crispy and done.

While The Wings Bake, Make The “Salt and Pepper” Seasoning Mix:

1) Heat a little oil in a skillet, on medium heat.
2) Add fresh chopped jalapenos, or substitute red pepper flakes, and chopped green onion bottoms.
Saute on Medium low heat for 2-4 minutes.
3) Add finely chopped garlic and continue to saute for a couple of minutes; be sure to keep the temperature low enough to not burn the garlic.
4) Add chopped cilantro, lots of it, stems and all.
5) Continue sauteing the mixture on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes until the cilantro has cooked down. You want the seasoning to still contain a small amount of moisture, so it will stick to the cooked wings.
6) Once the wings have baked to crispy completion, toss the wings and the seasoning together and serve.

Roast Chicken Recipe – a complete meal

07/15/202202/17/2017 by Chef Buck

A roast chicken recipe is easy to prepare and makes a tasty one-pot meal when cooked up with your favorite root vegetables. I like to butter up a whole chicken and roast it at a higher heat for a tender chicken with a golden skin.

What You Need for this Roast Chicken Recipe

WHOLE CHICKEN (about 5 lb)
2-3 Tbsp BUTTER (melted)
OLIVE OIL
2-3 bulbs GARLIC
2 PARSNIPS
3 CARROTS
1-2 ONIONS
1 lb POTATOES
some HOT PEPPERS (optional)
1 big LEMON
Fresh HERBS like ROSEMARY, SAGE, and THYME, or use a dried Italian herb mix
1-2 Tbsp PAPRIKA
1-2 Tbsp GARLIC POWDER
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
…but really, use whatever seasonings you like
(just make sure you use lots of them)

How To Make Roast Chicken Dinner

Buy a 5 pound chicken, or larger…might as well make it worth your while!
Remember to wash your hands frequently and clean your kitchen prep areas thoroughly before and after handling raw chicken.
Before cooking the chicken, remove it from the fridge for about an hour, this will help the chicken cook more evenly.
Wash the bird and then pat dry with paper towels.
Place the bird in a cooking pan and coat it with butter. I like to use melted butter, cause it’s easier, the butter will add great flavor and color; also, be sure to use a pan that’s large enough to accommodate the chicken and all the root veggies.
Season the bird well, inside and out, with salt and pepper; be generous with the seasonings!
For this recipe, I also coat the chicken with garlic powder and paprika, but use whatever seasonings you desire. If you’re just getting into home cooking and don’t have a lot of seasoning choices, you can check out current pricing for a Complete Starter Spice Set on Amazon.
Placing fresh produce in the chicken cavity will add flavor and moisture as the bird roasts.
I’m using onion, garlic cloves, and lemon to stuff the chicken, but add fresh herbs as well if you have them on hand; rosemary, thyme, and sage are flavorful choices.
Using cooking twine, tie the legs together to close up the cavity; this will keep the stuffing inside and also prevent the legs from sticking out and becoming overcooked during the roast.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Chop up your root vegetables and potatoes and place in the pan. Chop the veggies into larger sizes since they will be roasting for a long time.
Season the veggies as desired and then coat the veggies generously with olive oil. Using your hands, mix the seasonings, olive oil, and veggies together until they are well coated.
Spread the vegetables evenly along the bottom of the pan and then place the chicken on top in the center, with the breasts and legs up. Bring the wings against the chicken and tuck them under the body, this will keep them close and ensure even cooking.
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 90 minutes, a bit more of less depending on the size of the chicken and the amount of veggies.
If desired, roast with a thermometer inserted to check for doneness. Insert a thermometer into the meat between the leg and thigh (avoiding the bone) and cook until a temperature of 165-170
degrees F. If not using a thermometer, you can check for doneness by cutting between the thigh and leg; the juices should run clear of blood and the chicken should not be pink. Check current roasting thermometer prices on Amazon.
After 90 minutes at 425 F, remove the chicken from the oven.
Move the chicken off of the veggies and onto a separate plate; do not cut the chicken except to check for doneness.
Allowing the chicken to rest 10-15 minutes before carving will ensure that the juices inside the chicken are not lost.
Carefully remove the twine from the chicken legs and remove the stuffing from the cavity. Mix the stuffing into the pan of roasted veggies.

And that’s it.
This roast chicken recipe makes a great dish for a holiday or family meal. I always make roasted chicken with root vegetables and potato; it’s the perfect pairing with the juicy deliciousness of a whole chicken roasted in the oven.

Give this roast chicken recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

1 lbs. CHICKEN
1 Tbsp CORN STARCH
1 Tbsp SESAME OIL
1 Tbsp SOY SAUCE
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
4-6 cloves GARLIC

2 Tbsp RICE VINEGAR
2-3 Tbsp JAM (or substitute sugar)

How To Make Ginger Chicken

Use skinless and boneless white or dark meat chicken, whichever you prefer.

Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and place into a bowl.

Add 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp corn starch, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well with the chicken and then set the bowl aside.

In another bowl, combine sauce ingredients and set aside.

Prepare the veggies; this dish will cook fast, so have all the veggies chopped before beginning to cook the chicken.

Chop fresh ginger into matchstick sizes; fresh ginger and lots of it make this recipe delicious,so don’t be shy with the ginger.

Cut carrots into matchstick sizes.

Finely chop the garlic.

Chop onions (I prefer green onions if I have them on hand, but any onion will work.

Chop hot pepper if desired; the fresh ginger will add a bit of bite to the dish,
so skip the pepper if you prefer a milder recipe.

Heat a skillet and oil on medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, and adjust heat as needed. If you need a nice skillet, you can check here for current pricing for a non-stick skillet on Amazon.

After 5 minutes, add onion, garlic, ginger, and hot peppers.

Cook another 5 minutes, then add carrots and any other veggies; add sauce and mix well and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.

Add more water if desired. The sauce will be thicker or thinner depending on the amount of water added.

To finish the dish, stir in cashew nuts and remove from the heat.

And that’s it! Serve over rice.

Hot Wings Recipe – Crispy Baked Chicken

07/16/202202/05/2016 by Chef Buck

Make a spicy hot wings recipe at home. You can bake crispy wings for a healthier version of your favorite wings recipe, and a Buffalo sauce is super easy to prepare. I usually buy the whole wings and cut them up at home, but you can buy bags of chicken wings already cut up into drumettes and wingettes.

What You Need to Make This Hot Wings Recipe

3 lbs CHICKEN WINGS
2 Tbsp BAKING POWDER
1 tsp SALT
½ tsp ONION POWDER
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp PAPRIKA
¼ tsp BLACK PEPPER
…but really, use whatever spices you like

Ingredients For Buffalo Hot Wings Recipe Sauce

¼ cup BUTTER
¼ – ½ cup HOT SAUCE
1 tsp WORCESTERSHIRE
1-3 Tbsp HONEY

How to Make Crispy Chicken Wings In The Oven

Preparing and Baking the Wings:

I generally remove the skin from chicken, but not when I’m having wings; that crisp cooked skin is what makes wings so tasty. Buy your wings already cut up, or cut the up yourself at home. They’re not difficult to process at home, just cut easily between the joints, and be sure and save the wing tips to use for a chicken broth.

Pat chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and set aside
Combine the baking powder and seasonings in a bowl and mix together well
Toss the wingettes and drumettes with the dry coating
Arrange the chicken pieces on a wire rack over a baking pan and place in oven preheated to 425 degrees F. Here’s a good option if you want to price an oven-safe roasting rack on Amazon.
Cook wings for 50-60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes until crispy and done.

While the Wings Bake, Make the Sauce:

A classic Buffalo chicken wing sauce is easy to prepare.

In a sauce pot, melt butter
Add an equal amount of hot sauce to the pot, or more if you like your wings spicier
Throw in a splash of Worcestershire sauce
And for sweeter wings, add honey to taste
Mix well and heat through

Sauce the Wings, Or Don’t:

I like my spicy wings right out of the oven, just the wings and crispy skin. I like them tossed in Buffalo sauce, too, so I usually sauce half and leave half un-sauced, but follow your own heart.

To sauce the wings, simply combine the wings hot out of the oven and the sauce hot off of the stove into a bowl and toss. And a creamy blue cheese or ranch dressing makes a nice accompaniment.

And that’s it!

Give this hot wings recipe a try let me know what you think, and bon appétit!

Cornish Hen Recipe – Easy One-Pot Meal

05/19/202002/20/2013 by Chef Buck

Give this Cornish hen recipe a try. A Cornish hen is a classy bird, and a complete meal for two when cooked up with potatoes and carrots.

What you need for this Cornish Hen Recipe

1 CORNISH HEN …for this recipe I’m using a 1.5 lb. size hen, adjust cooking time for a smaller bird
2 POTATOES cut into 1 inch pieces
4 CARROTS chopped into ½-1 inch pieces
1 ONION large onion, cut into large pieces
1 GARLIC BULB chopped
4-5 sprigs ROSEMARY finely chopped
¼ cup BUTTER melted–substitute olive oil, if desired
SALT and PEPPER to taste
This is a great dish to load up with extra seasonings…try CUMIN, SEASONING SALT, CAYENNE PEPPER, CAJUN SEASONINGS, etc.

How to Cook Cornish Hen

If you’re using a frozen hen, allow the bird to thaw overnight in the fridge.
Cut hen through the breast and into two halves.
Rub both sides of hen with salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary.
Lightly oil a baking dish and place the hen halves skin side up. Check current prices for a baking dish on Amazon.
Cover hens with potatoes and carrot and additional seasoning.
Top with chopped onion and melted butter and cover dish.
Cook in 400 degree F oven for 30 minutes.
Remove dish, mix ingredients, cover and return to the oven for 15 minutes more.
Remove dish and uncover. Mix ingredients, place hen halves on top of vegetables and return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
At this point (dish has cooked 55 minutes total) I like to turn on the broiler and broil each side of the hen for 2-3 minutes, making the skin crispy and tasty. Keep an eye on the hens and do not overbroil!
Remove the dish from the oven and serve. I like to rub dried oregano between my palms and coat the plate and serve with sliced tomatoes.

Baked Chicken Recipe better than fried chicken

05/19/202002/20/2013 by Chef Buck

It’s not fried chicken, but just barely. This is a simple and delicious recipe for folks who like juicy chicken more than greasy chicken, so give this baked chicken recipe a try.

What you need for this Baked Chicken Recipe

2½ lbs. CHICKEN (skin removed)
1 cup MILK (I use almond milk, but buttermilk is cool)
HOT SAUCE (to taste)
1 cup BREAD CRUMBS
3 tsp CURRY POWDER
1 tsp GARLIC POWDER
1 tsp ONION POWDER
1 tsp ONION SALT (or regular salt, adjust to taste)
½ tsp GROUND MUSTARD
1 tsp PAPRIKA
*add ½ tsp red pepper if you want a kick

How to “Bake” Fried Chicken

Buy skinless or remove the skin and clean and rinse 2-2½ lbs. of chicken pieces. I love the dark meat, so I usually use thighs, but use whatever cuts you like and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Spread the chicken out in a shallow bowl and dash with hot sauce to taste. Add one cup of milk. I like to use almond milk, but my mama always used buttermilk. Allow the chicken to soak 30-60 minutes.

In a ziplock bag, add the remainder of ingredients and mix.

2 pieces at a time, add chicken to the ziplock bag and turn until coated. Sealing plenty of air in the bag will help coat the chicken pieces easily and evenly.

Place pieces on a non-stick or lightly-oiled baking pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes.
Periodically check on the pieces as oven cooking times will vary.
After 30 minutes, or when the pieces are well on their way to cooking, turn them, and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes.

Curry gives the chicken a wonderful color, and it looks very much like fried chicken, although not as crunchy as fried chicken. For extra crunchiness, broil the pieces for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Give this baked chicken recipe a go and let me know what you think!

If you’re new to home cooking, just get a bunch of spices, pots and pans, and start experimenting with different ingredients and recipes. It’s a healthy hobby that can save a lot of money in the long run. You can check out current prices for Complete Kitchenware Sets on Amazon. Or just go to a thrift store! I’ve found some of my favorite kitchen gear at second-hand stores.
