General Gau’s Chicken
I’ll admit it: There have been times in my life that I’ve been addicted to Chinese take-out. Here’s my version of General Gau’s chicken, a classic favorite from American Chinese restaurants. It’s not really authentic, but it’s seriously good stuff.
Easy Roasted Five-Spice Chicken
One of my favorite weeknight chicken dishes. It’s simple to throw together, and you can make the rest of your meal while it’s in the oven. A bonus? Chicken leg quarters are usually pretty cheap.

Ginger and Maple Glazed Chicken Wings
The humble chicken wing is so cheap—and so satisfying. (Plus, come on: What self-respecting carnivore doesn’t like to gnaw a little meat off the bone every once in a while?)
Prosciutto and Basil Wrapped Chicken Fingers
These chicken fingers are fast food, Mouse-House style. They’re the perfect thing to make when you Just Need To Eat, Like Now (a fairly common occurrence at our place these days, given that we just moved).
Chipotle Lime Chicken Fingers with Sour Cherry Compote

Oven-Baked BBQ Chicken
OK, so this is cheating. Well, sort of. This may not be real barbecue, but it is one of my favorite ways to make chicken legs: Indoors. In the oven. Seared, then smothered in hot, spicy sauce and slow baked. Let’s face it: Nothing can replace good, outdoor barbecue. But, sometimes you just don’t feel [...]
Blackened Chicken Fingers with Lime-Infused Marmalade
Mmm, mmm, mmm. We love spicy food at The Mouse House. You know…the kind that makes your nose sweat just a wee bit? These chicken fingers are hot and spicy on the outside and juicy as can be on the inside. A quick dip in a buttery, lime-infused marmalade knocks the edge off the heat [...]
Sweet Chili Chicken Drummettes
This is one of my favorite things to serve at a cocktail party. These Sweet Chili Chicken Drummettes are easier to eat than chicken wings, and are sweet and spicy with just a little bit of crunch. It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients to create a heavy dose of flavor. These drummettes get a [...]
