Spicy Parmesan Garlic Wing

Hellllooooooooooooooooo gorgeous!


I am a sucker for a real good boneless wing... but not many restaurants can satisfy my taste buds - especially BWW - I always kick myself for eating there after seeing the bill and not really liking their sauce or lack of sauce you get on your wings. Tonight, the hubby and I killed it on this recipe and with our teamwork in the kitchen - which, let's be real, it's not often he helps (or can be home in time to help with the prep work)! But he does the dishes, so no complaints there :)

For starters - Allan and I started with two boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into bite size pieces. 

For the rest - I worked off these two recipes and tweaked them to my liking
*CopyKat Recipes - Breading
*Simply Scratch  - Sauce

For the breading:

• 2  cups flour
• Cumin
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• Paprika
• Chili Powder
• Salt
• Pepper
• ****Feel free to add the seasonings for your liking! I added extra chili powder and paprika

Dredge your chicken in the flour mixture, through milk, then again the flour mixture. The more times you complete this, the thicker your breading. We only did it the two times!

In a deep pan, heat oil to approx 300-350*. Be sure to have a splatter cover or use a deep enough pan to prevent splatter all over your stove. Wings should be fried 3-5 minutes on each side dependent on the size. 

 Sauce Part 1:

Frank's Red Hot Sauce

4 Tbsp melted butter

Garlic Powder

Cayenne Pepper

Worcestershire Sauce

Grated Parmesan Cheese 

Salt

Pepper

Sauce Part 2:

1 egg yolk

2 tsp water

2 tsp cornstarch

Let your first part of the sauce simmer over the stove for about 10 minutes; until your seasonings start to blend and don't remain separated. Let cool.

Mix part two of your sauce.

Once part one of your sauce has cooled, SLOWLY mix it into part 2; be sure to do only a little of the hot cause at a time and to be continuously whisking - pouring too soon or before your hot sauce cools will cause the yolk to cook itself. 

Your sauce is done :) Toss your warm wings into the sauce and you're ready to go!

 

enjoy!

Lemon chicken sandwich with pickled bell pepper, onions, and pickles

This afternoon's lunch was a trial as I haven't done a lot of a quick pickling before but if Allan and I BOTH liked it, it must be blog worthy!

The chicken is left over from last night's dinner - I seasoned the chicken with Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper/Mrs. Dash garlic and basil  seasoning then pan fried till golden brown. Once browned on each side, transferred to the crock pot. In the pan with the left over chicken bits, I added 1 Tbsp of butter, 1 small onion, and slices of lemon - once onions are golden, add chicken broth to get all of the flavor out of the pan. Once broth is simmering, transfer all to the crock pot - Can cook in the crock pot on low for approx. 4 hours :)

Now to the sandwich!

For pickling vegetables:

2 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Lemon Pepper Seasonings
Pepper
Garlic Salt
*thinly sliced red bell pepper
*thinly sliced onion
----Mix all ingredients and let sit for approx 10 minutes

I shredded my chicken & baked my buns so they were toasty & and assembled  - only ingredients not listed that I used - spinach and a thin amount of mayo for the base!

enjoy!
