This Japanese style BBQ chicken, is perfect for kids and adults alike. Boneless, skinless thighs from Foodsaver Stores are perfect for the sticky, sweet and a little bit spicy marinade. Served with edamame fried rice is my ideal meal. I love edamame. My kids love it too. Instead of eating them plain, try adding them to fried rice for that extra bite. Continue reading
Can never say no to these. In fact, I wouldn’t mind having this dish on repeat. They are finger licking good! And it’s because of this delicious home made BBQ sauce. I never use store bought BBQ sauce, as it may have a lot more sugar than the one you will cook at home. You do need the sugar for these wings to caramelize but not too much of it. As they roast, they will darken and become sticky and delicious and highly addictive. Continue reading
This is the best dish I cooked all week. Not only because it’s really tasty, aromatic and delicious but also because of it’s simplicity to prepare. It’s one of those one-pot dishes that take 20 minutes to prep and then the oven does the work. But when you present it at the table everyone thinks you were really sweating it in the kitchen. And it’s healthy. You don’t have to pre-fry the chicken before roasting. As I said the oven does the work. What more can you wish for. Continue reading
I think I have cooked with almost all alcoholic drinks in my store cupboard. My husband always reminds me of the story I almost finished his good (and insanely expensive) brandy on a piece of pork tenderloin. So I had this bottle of rum staring at my face and was begging me to use it. It was also my roasted chicken day of the week. See my point? This recipe was inevitable. Continue reading
The word “sticky” in any recipe title always catches my attention. Anything caramelized (therefore sticky) must be delicious right? Right! These drums are no exception. Marinated in miso, mirin, ginger and other goodies, then oven roasted till they reach that dark, caramelized deliciousness. So easy, so tasty and oh-so-sticky. Continue reading
Easier, healthier, quicker, tastier chicken nuggets. Who wouldn’t want that? These are really easy, foolproof and delicious. For the coating I used panko breadcrumbs, as I like the crispier texture. Added grated halloumi to that and some Italian seasoning. Mixed with olive oil et voila! The perfect coating. Did I mention they are oven-baked? They come out crispy, golden, and gorgeous. Serve with a nice salad and lots of lemon wedges. Continue reading
It was one of those days, that chicken was on the menu. Roasted chicken with potatoes is a weekly staple in my house. Kids like it, grown ups like it, dog likes it. This time I had to try something new. My kids are my worst nightmare when it comes to food, so I had to make something not too strange or new to their taste buds. So I squeezed lemons, I chopped onions, I mashed garlic, I poured in the wine, emptied the mustard jar and went overboard with the pepper mill. I also drank some of the wine. Continue reading
