Just bought ten pounds of wings for a BBQ on friday. Never made wings before. Anybody got advice/recipes?

[jbiz]

assuming you don't have a deep fryer, alton brown recommends steaming the wings for a few mins and then cooking them in a hot oven.

buffalo wings are usually butter/margarine and franks hot sauce. since margarine is one of the most vile substances on earth, i recommend using butter.

[brent]

i really like grilled wings. prob my fave way of cooking them honestly

[Shost]

if you have an ice cream maker you 100% have to make this

Yeah I've done Altons wing method and it turned out really well, plus I didn't have to deal with a bunch of oil afterwards.

I have a deep fryer.

Been scoping the Food Lab idea of double frying, once with low heat over longer time, and one flash fry.

Looks interesting, at the least.

if it's boneless/skinless, i would just pan fry them. i just did this tonight with some chicken cutlets. i made a spice rub and mixed it with a little flour, dredged the cutlets in it and fried them in some vegetable oil for 2 or 3 mins per side. it's not quite fried chicken cause it's not fully breaded, but it does get a decent crust on it. then just slather it in your sauce (maybe heat it up in a saucepan on low heat alongside so it's warm when the chicken is ready)

this is something my mom did growing up at least once a week and i'm realizing i haven't done it in years

think i know what's going down tonight

any of you guys do a lot of slowcooking? i've been using mine a lot lately. looking for some sweet recipes. i have made pulled pork in it using this frankenstein recipe i made up a few times and it is god damn amazing. friends who have had it claim that it's some of the best pulled pork they've ever tasted:

rub:
-olive oil
-salt
-pepper
-a bit of honey
-chili powder

cover and leave it in the fridge overnight. in the morning you get this thing cooking because it needs at least 8 hours, preferably more, for a 3lb pork butt:
-1 cup bbq sauce
-1 cup root beer
-1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
-1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
-1/4 cup brown sugar
-1 tbsp dijon mustard
-1 tbsp chili powder
-1 tbsp worcestershire
-1 chopped onion
-2 chopped cloves of garlic

i usually take it out after 8 hours, pull it, then dump it all back in for 2 more hours. when it's ready to serve i take out all the liquid and put it in a sauce pan on low/medium heat, add a tbsp of white flour let it thicken (stir a lot).

get some fresh portuguese buns, pile em with pulled pork, add sauce accordingly, throw some slaw in there and you're fuckin cookin. ~6 servings

[captain]

obviously it's getting to be BBQ season and you wanna smoke your pulled pork but some of us live in apartments and don't have a balcony/BBQ

Made this cheesecake last week, so good.

[ho bag brown]

I made this the other night and it's so fucking good, plus a great way to use strawberries that are getting a little past their prime. Really good in greek yogurt or on ice cream and probably a lot of other ways too. Pretty #scrumplife to boot.


Baked strawberries

Stem 1 pound strawberries and slice in half lengthwise. Toss with 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar to coat.

Bake in a smallish pan for 15-20 minutes in a 375 degree oven.



Do this immediately

[grammatron]

Man I love balsamic strawberries. I usually do balsamic, brown sugar, and a little black pepper. So good.

[deadwolfbones]

yo this was fuccin delicious and incredibly easy:

tried making falafel today and the shits fell apart after being in the oil for a little while

i have a theory that i used too shallow of a pan, because the top 1/3 of each ball was out of the oil. i planned to just turn them, but i think the bottom section started to fry and the inside that was formed just floated out since the top wasn't cooking. plausible, or is my mix just shitty?

[Luke]

Submerged 2/3 of the way should be fine. Mine start falling apart if I screw up the ratio or if I don't get the oil hot enough.

[Bartatua]

any recipe you recommend? i plan on trying this again

[Luke]

My usual recipe holds together pretty well, if you want to compare:

1 can chickpeas
1/4 onion
3 cloves garlic
couple of pinches of parsley
t cumin
t coriander
3T flour
pinch of salt

Blend it all together in a food processor.
Mush them into balls
Fry at 350 for about 2 minutes before flipping them for 2 more minutes.

[Luke]

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, obv.

[Bartatua]

sounds simple, thanks. will give it a try.

[buboclot]

was kinda trying to mimic a salad i used to buy at a place back home and it turned out pretty great.

start by roasting some chickpeas - took this from bittman how to cook everything.

preheat oven to 400
drain, rinse and dry one 16 oz can of chickpeas
on the stove,heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a cast iron on medium heat
when hot, dump in chickpeas with a minced clove of garlic and salt/pepper liberally
shake to distribute oil/coat
place in oven for 15-20 mins, shaking every 5 mins or so until chickpeas are browned and slightly crisped on the exterior..keep an eye on the garlic tho
season with spices (i had some zaatar and sumac on hand which was perfect)
set aside

tahini/lemon/yogurt dressing - also a variation on a bittman recipe

in a food processor:
1/2 cup tahini plus 2-3 tablespoons oil (either tahini oil or evoo)
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup greek yogurt
clove of garlic smashed
juice of at least one lemon (i did 1.5)
1/2 tsp cumin
salt/pepper and other spices if you got em (used zataar and sumac here again)
blend and adjust to taste

for the salad i just did half spring mix and half arugula i had leftover plus
chopped red bell pepper
chopped cucumber
some of the roasted chickpeas
couple crushed pita chips

mix in a few spoonfuls of that dressing. fuegooo

I've made both of these (separately though) a couple times lately, really awesome.

for any of you who don't have the HTCE iPhone app, it's great. If you've already got the book, the app format is probably more convenient than lugging a huge book around the kitchen (that's my preference anyway). If you don't have the book it's just such an insane value to have the whole thing in digital form for $5. I got it last week and I've been using it constantly

went on a hike yesterday and I made up a batch of the HTCE granola w/ tahini, turned out pretty well:

6 cups rolled oats
2 cups mixed nuts & seeds
1 cup shredded coconut (optional, I didn't use)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
Dash of salt
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/2 cup tahini or any nut butter
1 cup raisins or chopped dried fruit

Combine everything but the fruit in a bowl, mix thoroughly, spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake @ 350 F for 30 minutes or more, stirring every few mins. to avoid burning. Remove from oven and add the fruit, let cool.

i've done falafel with dried chickpeas that were just soaked and not cooked, came out fantastic

[delgriffith]

Made this tonight:

Really good.

[edgeev]

made strawberry ice cream and a goat cheese ice cream and marbled them. not as good as I had hoped. strawberry flavor really overpowered the goat cheese.

[grammatron]

The best way to do that edgeev is to get a goat and feed it nothing but strawberries for a fortnight, then milk it and make cheese from that milk. I thought everyone knew that.

[edgeev]

listen don't go bragging just because you married a goat

[grammatron]

You'd brag too. She's very horny.

[edgeev]

close up shop, everyone. there's no reason to live a life in which reading that post is a thing that is possible.
