Good chicken wings are very easy to do.
Dab them dry with a paper towel.
Dry rub of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, onion and garlic powder.
Give them a light spray of cooking spray
Put into an oven at 160C for twenty minutes (line your baking sheet)
Turn
Same again for twenty minutes
In the meantime, put in half a bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce and a of tablespoon of salted butter in a pan and gently heat until made into a buffalo wings sauce
Take the wings out (give them three or four minutes at the highest temp if you want some gnarly charred bits)
Toss them in the sauce
Done.
That sounds amazingly tasty ! Will definitely try that 🙂Quote:

Chicken in buffalo sauce is lovely! Had nice wings like that as a starter for a pub meal recently and they were the best part of the meal.Quote:

Home made fish and chips for us tonight, absolutely banging. Even better in panko breadcrumbs but the wife prefers golden.
Garden peas need to be Hibs green - anything else is overdone, a good rule of thumb for cooking any green veg - and finished with butter.
Aw man, that sounds amazing.Quote:

Some great slow cooker recipes if you have access to one:
My favourite is a Brazilian chicken curry.
1 kg Chicken breast
Red onion
Can of coconut milk
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Heaps of tumeric
Heaps of peanut butter
Salt
Pepper
A chicken stock cube
Good pinch of chilli flakes
Good dod of garlic
Cornflour to thicken
6 hours on high and serve with rice.
I agree with her, I'm a breast man 😲Quote:

Doing this for Saturday tea but - when you say good dod and heaps of - can you be a bit clearer?Quote:

I always put in more tumeric and chilli than the recipes calls for.
I did try it with chicken legs a couple of weeks or so ago but it was ****. So breast all the way (ooh er).
That’s for 1kg of breast which has fed 4 adults and 3 kids previously.
It goes pulled pork style, which I quite like. Like I said above, I tried with on the bone chicken the other day and it wasn’t good, too much fat and juice came out the bones and killed the flavours.Quote:

Anyone got a Scottish stovies recipe ? Good food for the cold months ahead
I normally slow cook mine but will defo give this way a try :aok:Quote:

I came across it by accident when I was looking for regional recipes when the World Cup was on (I cook a dish from each country as the tournament plays out) and this dish from Brazil is one of my go to BBQ scrans.
It starts off similar to a Portuguese piri piri, no surprise given the links to Brazil, but the honey/mustard/vinegar glaze is next level.
Serve with ice cold Brahma.
Love that.Quote:

Served with baked beans and lashings of HP sauce, the same recipe my parents used,loved it as a kid and still do.
If you ever fancy a bit of a project for a rainy day, I used a day in lockdown last January to make a Berlin style doner from scratch - bread and all.
Bread recipe here: https://sortedfood.com/recipe/10289
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNChsYNpV0U - This guy has four videos on how to make it. I don't have a fancy enough bread maker for the bread recipe in this so I use the above one.
Made the sauces, got the salad done nicely and served with a really good smoked German beer. Really enjoyed making it, and it was absolutely delicious.

I love combining the frying function which you can start off some tasty rice or pasta meals by sauteing onions/garlic/peppers etc.
I’ve got one of them (PKP) and I barely use it. Can’t even say why as every time I do use it, I’m always happy with the results. Lucky if I’ve used it 5 times.Quote:

Glad the Brazilian chicken went down so well: believe it or not it’s not my recipe 😂
It’s from the High Protein handbook which you can download for a tenner or something: or pay £25 and there’s another half a dozen books with it. It’s all nutritionally balanced meals for health kicks or training. Or eating, doesn’t matter 😂
Bit of a one pot traybake this one but always goes down well:
Boneless chicken thighs
Chorizo (ideally the cooking stuff) cut into approx 3cm cubes
Par boiled baby new potatoes (cut in half)
Two red onions
Oregano
Zest and juice of one orange
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil
Cook in the oven low and slow, giving a good mix up every so often so everything gets coated in the orange and the chorizo oil.
Anyone ever had Flying Jacob? Really really tasty casserole style dish with chicken, bacon and bananas.
It was my grannies funeral on monday; she introduced it to me and I'd love to make it but my wife can't eat bananas. Big old dish to make just for myself :greengrin
I've had a Tefal Cook4Me for a while and never use the pre programmed recipe, I find it more useful for preparing an element of a dish with little washing up.Quote:

I find the best way to get good midweek scran is to plan and think ahead. Sunday I had lasagne (which I browned the meat for and assembled on the Saturday) and whilst that was heating up on Sunday, I diced some chicken thighs and made a basic curry paste and put two thirds of the chicken in to marinate. Cooked the curry last night with leftovers for lunch, but also made what will be the filling for a chicken and leek pie, so will just need to put in pastry and cook tonight.
When that’s cooking, I’ll make a basic lentil and veg bolognaise to put in the fridge, reheat and add to pasta tomorrow night.
I use the freezer a lot too so there’s always good basic ingredients to defrost and cook with, but doing half of the work the night before whilst your tea is cooking means you have much better food to look forward to.

You can always tweak that to suit, but I do like a fair bit of heat in my wings. Glad you enjoyed it.Quote:

Was doing some leftover cooking tonight - our Burns night supper was belated as my partner had a physio appointment and I was playing fives, but I had leftover haggis, four rashers of bacon, two slightly stale bagels and half a bag of spinach on the verge of going out.
Made what I'm calling Burns Benedict - toasted bagels topped with spinach, haggis, a rasher of bacon, a poached egg, home made hollandaise and topped with the crispy bits of haggis that were in the pan as a little crumb. Served with roasted asparagus which was also on the cusp of going out.
Absolutely brilliant. If it was in a restaurant or high end hotel on their brunch menu I'd be diving into it.
I’m going to make that sometime soon. Sounds barry.Quote:

Get the two biggest aubergines you can from the shop and cut them lengthways. Line a baking tray with foil, add a little oil and put the aubergines cut side down. Grill under a hot grill for 15 minutes or until the skin is charred, blistered and the flesh is soft and scoopable.
In the meantime in a frying pan put in about a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil. Add in a chopped onion and fry til transluscent and then add two or three chopped cloves of garlic, a tablespoon and a half of curry powder and two tablespoons of tomato paste. Fry for a couple of minutes til fragrant. Put to one side.
Scoop in the flesh of the aubergines and some freshly chopped parsley, mix really well and serve to scoop up with some nice grilled flatbread and some natural yoghurt.
Made this tonight, was a major hit with the family. Thanks for sharingQuote:

I bought a sous vide recently for making steak.
Literally the best steak I’ve ever eaten at home. Cook it perfect every time and it’s perfectly medium rare all the way through rather than medium rare in the very centre working it’s way out to medium well closer to the outside.
Pay the money for decent steak though and go to a butcher.
I make Macaroni cheese without Macaroni!
I use Penne or Rigatoni. The cheese sauce I make gets stuck in the pasta tubes, for me makes it more tastier
Had a couple of recipes from Simply Cook as a free gift when I ordered something online and I’m really impressed.
It’s a bit like Hello Fresh or Gusto, but they only send you the wee bits that you wouldn’t have in the cupboard. Last night we had steaks with a really nice Japanese style rub and rice with charred asparagus.
Couple of weeks ago we had masala spiced lamb chops.
Both really really good, if you get offered a free sample box give it a go.
Think the subscription is a tenner a box - four meals worth- and you can specify how often you want it.
I had a lasagne pie and a chilli con carne pie from Stories in Leith Walk today.
Made a Chicago style deep dish pizza on Sunday for the Super Bowl.
Made the dough. Layered with slices of mozzarella. On top of that went some sausage crumbled with fennel, bacon, pepperoni and red onions. Homemade tomato sauce on top of that with some grated Parmesan.
Delicious!
That sounds incredible.Quote:

https://platedcravings.com/air-fryer...container-8307
Haven't used the air fryer in over a year but followed them up with a baked potato tonight and it was made to perfection. On the hunt for more air fryer recipes now
A little splash of hot sauce on the top - banging. If you can get the small tortillas then they're all the better, give them a quick blast in a dry frying pan to get some heat into them too.Quote:

We're doing your breakfast tacos this weekend. Will report back.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Sorted Meal Packs app to anyone who will listen as it's great for creating meals that you normally wouldn't and it also cuts down on food waste. Last night made a herby courgette gnocchi dish. Roasted two finely diced courgettes, garlic and a red onion, mashed it up a bit, added creme fraiche, herbs, cooked gnocchi, a bit of pasta water to help create a sauce then grilled it with torn mozzarella and grated parmesan.
Half an hours work but very, very tasty.
Since it’s pancake day, I’m making pancakes for the main and pancakes for pudding.
Traditional scotch pancakes for afters.
For the main, I’m making boxty - an Irish potato pancake. I’m serving it with a creamy chicken and bacon filling, some salad and skinny fries.
I’ve had it a couple of times in Dublin so thought I’d try to recreate it.
Is this the Sorted.club or something like Hello Fresh?Quote:

Not quite. They have a fairly good YouTube channel but this is an app where you can choose a “pack” of three recipes a week. You then tick off all the ingredients you have in the cupboard that the recipes use and it creates you a shopping list. All of the perishable items are used up over the three recipes.Quote:

Mix together and bind with 1 whisked whole egg, 2 if needled. Fry in very shallow oil for a few minutes on each side. Makes 3 or 4 fish cakes. Very tasty.
Would love some ideas for very low calorie tasty meals if anyone has any.
We did all these from sainsburys, all around 500 calorie. You could buy ingredients yourself or click add to basket and get delivered. Turned out really cheap and fun to do, they all take about 20 minutesQuote:
