Buffalo Chicken wings

Tweet

The big game is almost here and my Seahawks are in!! We are so excited! I love wings and created this easy and delicious recipe for the game!

Buffalo Chicken Wings

3 lbs. chicken wings

1  T Baking powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup Franks hot sauce

4 T melted unsalted butter

1 T molasses 

Pre heat oven to 250 F degrees

Combine baking powder, salt and put into a one gallon zip lock bag. Next, throw in the wings and shake to coat thoroughly.

Arrange the wings on a baking sheet and bake in lower middle of oven for 30 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 425 F degrees. Move the wings  up to upper middle of oven. Bake the wings until they are crispy.

While the wings are in oven, whisk the melted butter, molasses and hot sauce together in large bowl.

When the wings are crispy, take them out and put them into  the bowl and mix to coat them thoroughly.

I serve with my Blue Cheese dip, carrots, celery and some Frito dippers.

 

 We are off Jamaica! Our annual trip to our cottage is here! This is where I unplug, reading 8 or more books, watercolor painting by the ocean, getting massages, needle pointing and just totally relaxing. And yes, I write a few blogs, so, come on back to see what I have for you. Go Seahawks!

 It's game day! And my team is in the play offs! Wee Bear and I will be watching and my slow cooker will be cooking! Easy squeazy! 

 

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering for close friends or a massive party for the big game, this recipe will have guests talking long after game day.

 

The magic of great game day food isn't just in the recipes, it's in the memories you create when friends and family gather around delicious food to cheer, laugh, and celebrate together. 

 

 

French Dip Sandwiches- slow cooker

 

2 T olive oil

2 1/2 - 3 lb. Chuck roast (I order my beef from Snake River)

Kosher salt

Pepper freshly ground

2 1 ounce packages of dry onion soup 

2 C water 

2 cans of Beef broth

 

Crusty rolls- I use Ciabatta 

Butter 

Optional - Provolone cheese

 

 Season the Chuck roast with salt and pepper while heating the olive oil in a large skillet.

 

When the oil is sizzling, brown the roast on all sides.

  

 Put the roast in the slow cooker and add the dry onion soup, the water and the broth.

 

Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10.

 

When the meat is tender. Take out of the cooker, and slice thin or shred on a cutting board. I use a electric knife that I have had for 40+ years to slice thin.

 

Butter the Ciabatta and broil until toasty on top. 

 

Pile the thinly sliced meat on the rolls, put a slice of provolone on top if you like. If you put the provolone on, broil quickly to melt.

 

Strain the juices of the slow cooker into small ramekins and serve! 

 

Serve with french fries, salad, chips or pickles! 

 

 

 Meet our new family member, Brody! Brody came to us at less than 5 lbs, now he is a whopping 8.2 lbs! He is a Cavapoo, a mix of a 8 lb poodle (sire) and a 12 lb Cavalier King Charles (dame). Needless to say he is our new obsession! We even shortened our annual trip to Jamaica by a week and cancelled our 4 month world cruise because of this heart melting puppy. We just can't be away from him!
