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 [...]
Deep-Fried Chicken Fingers with Crispy Cheez-It Crust
It’s Friday the 13th and the day before Valentine’s Day. There’s a dizzying array of mouthwatering, chocolate-y recipes out there this week. So…let’s make something fun and crunchy. Mouse discovers Cheez-It breading. Film at 11. It didn’t happen exactly like this, but this is close enough.
Chicken & Apple Sausage Sub with Caramelized Onions, Peppers & Brie
This is the perfect kind of sandwich to throw together on nights—like tonight, at the Mouse House—that you don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. You can use almost any combination of sausages and cheese. In this case, I had a package of Brice Aidells smoked chicken & apple sausages and [...]
Rosemary Scented Roast Chicken
I love roasting broiler chickens because you get all that great roast-y flavor—without the time commitment of preparing a larger bird. You can put this dish together from fridge to table in about an hour, making it an ideal candidate for a stick-to-your-ribs weeknight dinner. The bird is slathered in good olive oil, seasoned liberally [...]
Thanksgiving 2008: A Photographic Feast
The Angry Chef will tell you: Mice are nosy creatures. It’s true. I’m always interested in seeing what other folks do in their kitchens, put on their tables, and eat when they celebrate. So…thanks so much to everyone who sent me their Thanksgiving photos! Here’s a peek at how some fellow bloggers and foodies celebrated [...]
The Angry Chef’s Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken
A lot of folks have asked me for this recipe. It’s one of The Angry Chef’s signature dishes, and I was lucky to pry it away from him. This recipe is a dream come true for garlic lovers like me. It’s tart and garlick-y and oh-so-fragrant in all the right ways. (As a bonus, you’ll [...]
Dueling Wings, Part 2: Chai Ginger Hot Wings
Last night, we revealed one contender in The Hungry Mouse’s chicken wing duel: Lemon Buttermilk Fried Chicken Wings. Tonight, we’d like to introduce the other. This evening—in this corner, on the red plate—we have Chai Ginger Hot Wings. They spent an evening soaking in a bath of Chai tea, ginger, and Aleppo chili flakes. I [...]
Dueling Wings, Part 1: Lemon Buttermilk Fried Chicken
The other day, I bought a huge package of beautiful, meaty whole chicken wings. I couldn’t decide on a single recipe, so I divided the chicken in half and whipped up two different marinades. I let each batch soak overnight. Chicken wing battle, GO! On the white plate in golden brown, our first contender: Lemon [...]
Mid-Autumn Meat Feast at The House of the Hungry Mouse
The other night, The Angry Chef and I had a good old friend over for dinner. We hadn’t seen him in quite a while, and it was so lovely to catch up. He brought a great bottle of sweet white wine and some fantastic port. We made dinner, which I’m realizing now turned into a [...]
Garlic and Ginger Infused Chicken Broth
Everyone has their own cold remedy. This is mine. Make the sniffles stop! I’ve had a savage cold for the last three days. Since The Angry Chef is catching it, too, neither of us was in the mood to destroy the kitchen with a full-blown chicken soup production. No matter, though. This is the chicken [...]
