Chicken legs and thighs are a winner in my house. This is a good thing because they are also cheap! But coming up with new ways to gussy them up can be problematic. I mean seriously, this morning, before 8am, I had already refused to count the cereal in my son’s bowl, admonished the other…

Rotisserie Chicken Three Ways Day One: Poutine
That’s three ways not a three way. This is not porn people, it’s dinner! Get your head out of the gutter! Ok, maybe that’s just me 😉 A rotisserie chicken is the ultimate quickie pick up at the grocery for a dinner that you don’t have to spend a ton of time on and that…
Molasses Glazed Chicken
We had guests for dinner… Well, The Rock star was tracking drums for our friend Lucky Diaz (Of Latin Grammy winner Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band, oh! Is that a name I dropped there? hang on while I pick it up…) and in the spirit of a girl who loves to entertain, we…
24 Hour Buttermilk Chicken
What does one do when we’ve “been there, done that” with chicken? The answer is, go back… way back. Buttermilk has been used as a marinade for more than 100 years (I’m being conservative) and is known to tenderize and keep chicken moist and tangy. It’s just not that often used. I thought I’d bring…

Chicken Puff Pie
Cosmo wanted chicken pot pies. “Mom, some people make them so that each person has their OWN.” Ok, kid. I can take a hint. So, I made sure I had the ingredients and decided that a puff pastry top would be fun! This recipe would actually be amazing vegetarian. Follow the recipe and skip the…
Spanish Chicken & Potatoes
When we think of the word “Friend” in the classic sense, it usually brings thoughts of childhood playmates, your BFF and the folk you choose to spend some of your free time with. These days it could mean a stranger on the internet who you are connected to through social media. That is the kind…
Sriracha Honey Chicken
There are few things in this world that The Rockstar enjoys more than hot sauce and saving a buck. So, what better theme to set the tone for his Valentine dinner! I decided to go Asian, another of his favorites, and do a play on Orange Chicken. There’s something about the crisp of the breaded…
Chicken and Mushrooms in White Wine Sauce
This is a meal easy enough to make during the week but, special enough to serve on the weekend! It’s not a twenty minute meal like I’ve posted before, but it took me 40 minutes and the results were worth it. Chicken can get boring after a while, but we keep it in the freezer…
Mama’s Fried Chicken
It’s fat Tuesday, y’all! How better to celebrate than with my mama’s recipe for fried chicken. I want to start by saying how hard it was to make this “recipe”. I’ve never measured anything when frying chicken before. So, it was a stretch to measure EVERYTHING. Man was it worth it, though! Recently, I had…
Fat Tuesday: Chicken and Waffle Bites
I had never eaten chicken and waffles until I moved to Southern California. To be honest, breakfast was a clear division of sweets and savories. I did NOT want my bacon and eggs in my syrup! Once we relocated, I was obligated to try Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. I mean, this is a little slice of…
