Baked/ Grilled Chicken Wings






Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, cut into 2 pieces with tips removed.
Season the wings with your favorite DRY seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Bring a large pot of salted water to boiling. Boil the wings 8-10 minutes and remove to drain on a wire rack. (helps reduce some of the fat allowing for quicker crisping in the oven).
Bake wings on a sheet pan for 30 minutes, then turn wings over and cook the other side for another 10 minutes.
If you choose to grill your wings, grill flipping while cooking until done.


Remove to a large bowl and toss in your favorite sauce.

Cabbage and Chicken Stir Fry


Ingredients
3 chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
3 cups green cabbage, shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce


Directions
Cut chicken breasts into strips.

Heat oil in a frying pan.

Add chicken strips and stir fry over medium-high heat, turning constantly until done.

Add cabbage and sauté 2 minutes until cabbage is crisp-tender.

Mix cornstarch and seasonings; add water and soy sauce, and mix until smooth.

Stir sauce into chicken/cabbage mixture.

Cook until sauce has thickened and chicken is coated, about 1 minute.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.


Caramel Cake






Ingredients
3 sticks butter
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla



Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter, sugar and eggs together and beat well. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, and then add vanilla. Beat in a mixer bowl or with a hand mixer until the batter “ribbons.” Pour batter into three greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake for about 30 minutes and use a toothpick to check to see if it is done. This cake can also be made in a 9-inch x 13-inch pan, which will need to be baked for about 45 minutes. Cool layers on a cake rack before icing.


Caramel Icing
Ingredients

2 sticks butter
1 (16 oz.) box of light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup evaporated milk (canned)
2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

Place butter, brown sugar and salt in a saucepan. Heat, stirring until the brown sugar is well dissolved. Add milk and continue stirring until blended. Let bubble (at an easy boil) for approximately 4 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid sticking. Set hot mixture aside to cool for several minutes. Using mixer, add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla. You will see it turn lighter and caramelize. When you've reached the desired consistency, ice the cake, placing some of the icing between the layers.

Sweet Italian Chicken


Ingredients:
About 3 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken
1 ( .7 ounce) packet of Italian dressing mix
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed


Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12 inch x 9 inch pan and set aside, and/or it may be preferable to line your dish with aluminum foil as the sugar tends to caramelize while baking.

Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels.

Combine and the dried Italian seasoning mix and the brown sugar, mixing together well.

Dip and press the chicken pieces into the mixture, coating front and back and place into your prepared pan, topside of the chicken facing up. Any extra coating that remains can just be sprinkled over the chicken.

Cook for 50-60 minutes or until chicken is done turning every 15 min and basting each time with the drippings with the final turn leaving the topside facing up for the last bit of baking.
