Fire Cracker Chicken Recipe


Fire Cracker Chicken Recipe

Now this is where it is at when it comes to spicy chicken. Not only a hot spicy sauce but an out of this world  Fire Cracker Chicken.

Just try this easy dish and see if I am right, from its tender chicken pieces to the fiery hot palate. I like to serve this dish with some type of a starch side dish like I have here on the video. I find that this rice just goes good with the spice and it just blends in perfectly. 

Try it and let me know just how hot did you make it and did you do anything different.



*************************************************************************************************************



Recipe;

Chicken breasts - 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.)

1/4 Cup or more - Corn starch
1/4 Cup - Cooking oil
1/4 Cup - Brown sugar
2 Lg. - Eggs



Sauce 

1/3 Cup - Unsated butter
1 Tsp. - Garlic powder
3 Tsp. - Ketchup
1/4 Cup - Hot sauce (or more)
1 Tbsp. - Hot pepper flakes (or more)
1/4 Cup - White wine vinegar




For more information, please see video below;




*************************************************************************************************************




Starting it off right with two nice portions of chicken breasts. Here I am using about 2 kilos, it is slightly over two pounds. 

Cube them really any size you would like but I like them a bit smaller in order to be "Bite size". 





Go ahead and make your day, this is where it counts. Make it as hot as you want.

Here I am using "Piri Piri" an aged Portugues hot sauce. Now make it your way, add whatever hot sauce you want to make you happy. Mix up two or three sauces, and see what happens. 


When you are finished with the sauce it should look like this. Thick and creamy. In this way, it will stick to the chicken better and give a nice pleasant appearance and taste. 

When it sticks to the pan like this then you know it is done. Be careful in order to not let it burn. 


In know that it will get messy when you are dipping the floured chicken into the egg then into the hot pan. But, stick to it and it will all come together. 

Remember that "practice makes perfect. 


Please make sure that the spicy sauce is good and hot before you add the chicken. I want it to glaze on it and to adhere to it. Only in this way will it turn out smooth, thick on the outside and tender inside.

Lumaconi Con Polpettine -  Pasta With Meatballs

Well as hard as this recipe is to pronounce it is an awesome dish. I know that it takes a little more time to make it, but it is well worth it. 

I just love pasta and with some type of meat with a nice tomato sauce, it just goes great together, always works out well. Try this with your Family or at your next Party and see if I am not correct. The only problem I can see with is dish is trying to keep up as it disappears, always make more so you won't run out. 

Let me know how yours turned out. 




***************************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1/2  Pkg. - Lumaconi pasta


Meatballs
1 lbs. -  Meat and pork ground
1 - Med. - Onion chopped
1/3 Cup  - Breadcrumbs
2 to 3 Tbsp. - Parmesan cheese
2 Cloves - Garlic minced
1/4 Cup - Parsley
1 - Egg
1/4 Cup - Cooking oil



Tomato Sauce
1 Can - Tomato sauce
1 Sm. - Onion fine chopped
1 - Cloves - Garlic
2 Tbsp. - Tomato paste
1/2 Tsp. - Honey
1 Tbsp. - Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 Cup - Sour cream
1 Tbsp. - Oregano
1 Tbsp. - Basil

Parmesan cheese topping



For more information, please see video below. 



***************************************************************************************************************






Just look at all the good things I have laid out for this recipe. With the meat mixed in with the tomato sauce and topped off with the cheese. It is out of this world with taste. 








Don't forget to squeeze and roll the meat in order for it to hold together without it falling apart as it fries. 

Make sure it is golden brown all around, be careful not to overcook them so they will not be hard and chewy. 








We saute the meatballs with the sauce for it to soak into the meat and make them awesome. Give it some time to allow it to marinate all the flavors together. 







Go ahead now and blend it all together, please do not stir it at this point for you could break up the meatballs.

Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni Recipe



Spinach & Ricotta  Cannelloni Recipe


This has to be one of the most popular dishes that I serve to my Family and Friends. I find that it is easy to make a lot and sever it up at a party or gathering, it just disappears. The three-cheese really goes with the spinach mixture and the taste really makes up for all your hard work. 

It may seem a little bit complicated when you watch the video and very time-consuming, but believe me, once you get the hang of it, it goes very fast. Let me know how yours turned out and did you add anything extra to it. Remember to always do it your way and enjoy it. 

Please keep those comments coming. 


************************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

2/3 Pkt. (300 grams)  -  Cannelloni pasta

1 Pkt. (250 grams)  - Spinach, fresh or frozen
1 lbs (250 grams) - Ricotta
1 Tbsp. - olive oil, plus extra
1/2 Cup -  Unsalted butter
1/3 Cup - Green onions
1 Med. - Onion
2 Clove - Garlic
2 -Eggs


1/2 Cup - Butter
3 Tbsp. -  Flour all-purpose, plus extra as needed.
Whole milk as needed
1/2 Tsp. - Nutmeg

Salt and pepper as needed.


1 lbs (250 grams) - Mozzarella
Parmesan Cheese - As needed  


For more information, please see the video below; 





************************************************************************************************************



I like the combination of the three cheese's that I used on the video and I find that they really go together when it comes to texture and taste. 

Now you can add more different types of cheese or even add a fourth of your favorite type. 






If your spinach fresh, then you will have to blanch it first before you can use it, by adding it to simmering water for about 2 minutes. 

To make your life easier, you can use frozen, but like the fresh, do not forget to strain it to get most of the water out. 





I know that there are other ways to make your Butter / Flour mixture "a rue", but I like to show it in this way because it can be a bit complicated to make for some. So by doing it in these steps, it becomes absolutely fail-proof.

 Go ahead, do not be scared. 




The cannelloni is very fragile and therefore you should not put too much pressure when you are adding the filling, also please do not tape it down for it will break and make a mess.  

Use your fingers or thumb to gently push it down, but you can a pipe-bag if you want.





Go ahead and add as much cheese as you would like, the sky is the limit.

Let me know how yours turned out and did y
ou add anything different to it.

Chicken Pasta Lasagna Recipe


Chicken Pasta Lasagna Recipe



When it comes to a Party, everyone likes a Lasagna dish, so I have the answer. Now it has to be good, filling and fast to make, but best of all it has to look awesome and make your guests mouth water.


This dish is the answer, this  is the king of kings when it comes to taste and ease of making it.  Do not let this dish fool you just because it is done so simple, just because it takes just a few things to make it, Go ahead and see what I mean here, the proof if in the pudding or should I say the lasagna. 


Let me know how yours turned out and/or did you add anything to it. 




**************************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1 Pkg. -  Penne pasta

2  Med. - Chicken breast
2  Cups - Tomato sauce
2  Tbsp. - Cooking oil
2  Tbsp. -  Olive oil
1  Lbs.   -  Mozzarella cheese
1  Cup - Parmesan cheese ( a bit more for topping)
1  Tsp. - Basil ( a bit more for topping)
1  Tsp - Oregano

Salt and pepper to taste.



For more information, please see video below; 




**************************************************************************************************************


Everyone likes chicken and here I am using a chicken that is "free range", in this way I get the best taste. If you use frozen breasts, then thaw them for 24 hours in your fridge to remove the water. 

It is not necessary to brown the breasts right to the point of being hard. We want the chicken to stay moist and soft to blend-in with the cheese's. 



I find that the penne pasta works better for this dish because it keeps everything together better and better is good. 

Please do not drain the pasta under water for we want the starches to thicken up the sauce and make it smooth tasting and full looking. 




Really you can use any type of tomato sauce, so go ahead and try them all. See what works for you, from the garlic to the herb sauce it will be a different adventure every time. 

How about making it yours self, homemade for me is the way to go. (see video below). 




Go ahead and add as much as you want for topping, you really cannot go wrong. 

Try it with different cheese's and herbs, a real treat every time. 







Sorry I did a bit of tempting on the last part of the video, but I wanted to entice you into trying it. I think it was a good thing....:)

Chicken Pineapple Salad - (Salatka Z Ananasemi Kurczakiem)



Chicken Pineapple Salad  - (Salatka Z Ananasemi Kurczakiem)


Of all the salads that I have made, this one has to be one of my favorite ones. Now Girlfriend is Polish and of course she was the one that showed me how to make this recipe. it is a great side dish, but I wanted to make it a complete meal, so I added the pasta to it, and there you go, an awesome dish. 

I will not try again to give this dish it's Polish name for in the video you could hear that my Polish was horrible. Well, any way you pronounce it, it is a great dish. 

Please let me know how yours turned out and if you added anything to it.



**********************************************************************************************************

Recipe:

1 Lb. -  Chicken breast

1 Med. - Diced onion
1/4 Cup - Sweet red pepper
1/2 Can - Pineapple (drained)
1 Can - Sweet whole corn (drained)
1 to 2 Tbsp. - Fresh parsley
3 to 4 Tbsp. - Low-fat Mayo

Salt and pepper to taste.

1/2 Pkg. - Bow or any pasta


For more information, please see the video below. 




**********************************************************************************************************


Want the best tasting chicken dish, then use  a free range chicken that I call "Farmers Chicken".

These chickens are not locked up in a cage and are free to roam around  outside and inside, also they are feed whole grain feed without any hormones or any other fast growth enhancers. 





Sometimes it is hard to know when the chicken has been cooking right through into the middle. Even if it is brown on the outside, that does not mean it is cooked.

Take the largest piece and just cut a bit and take a peek inside. In this way, you will be sure that it is done and ready for the salad.





Here I have chosen a bow pasta, for me I think this looks best in the presentation of the salad. 

Now you can really use any type of pasta that you want or prefer. How about trying it with potatoes instead. The choices are endless. 






I like to keep my weight always under control so I am using a  low-fat mayo, but if you prefer then go ahead and use the normal one. 

If you want you can use half mayo and half sour cream or buttermilk, it is your choice how you would like this dish. 






Add anything that you heart desires at this point, after all, it's your salad and you should have it your way.

Sausage Pasta Recipe



Sausage Pasta Recipe 

I, for one just love a good smoky sausage with lots of garlic in it. For me, it has to be a Farmers sausage because you now that it is fresh and all natural, so you know that the taste will be the best and the freshest. 

It took me awhile to find the place to get them. I found a nearby home factory where they produce them and smoke them in those  big steel smoker units. . Now this is not to say that your local Supermarket does not also have a good variety. I am sure that they are also awesome in taste. Any anyway you find them, is not the question,  but to find the right tasting kind is a matter of choice. 

Just try this recipe with Pasta and see just how good this will taste and I am sure that your Family and friends will approve. 

Please let us know how and where did you get the best sausage from who and where.



**************************************************************************************************************


Recipe; 

1/2  Package or 10 ounces  - Of  penne or your favorite pasta.

1 Pound - Of  your favorite  Smoked Sausage.

1 Med. - Diced onion
3 to 4 Cloves - Minced garlic
1 Can - Diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp. - Smoky paprika
1 Tbsp. - Basil
2 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1 Tsp. - Sugar
1 Cube - Chicken stock (low sodium)

Topping;
Parmesan cheese.


For more information, please see the video below. 



**************************************************************************************************************




Go ahead and start with your favourite sausage, with so many on the market, there is an endless variety of taste to suit anyone's desire. 

Here I am using a garlic smoked Farmers sausage. This one has a very strong taste and that just makes my dish. 




How you slice it depends on you, some like it thicker and some like it thinner.  But remember if you slice them too thin, then there is the possibility of drying them out too much and they will lose their natural moisture and flavour. 






Keep them moving around on med-high heat until all the sides of the sausage are browned, then add the onions and garlic.

As for the onions and garlic, please keep an eye on them because they can fry up pretty fast. So to be on the safe side, then I would reduce the heat at when adding them. 






I did not rinse the pasta over running water. In this way, you keep the starches and that helps with the sauce.

Greek Wedding Soup, A Classic



Greek Wedding Soup, A  Classic.

A few months ago, I was invited to my Friend's Wedding and it was my first experience at a Greek Wedding. Now talk about food, it never stopped and it kept coming, one after another, dish after dish. How I wish I had more room to hold more. Well, I did not know that I was going to burn off all that food when the music started, wow, talk about "These People Can Dance", loved every minute of it. 

Now it all started with the first bowl of soup, a bowl full of aroma and some nice pieces of meat and lamb meatballs all sucking up that awesome soup mix. In just one bite, I just had to go into the kitchen and make some notes to repeat this awesome recipe. So here it is just like the one I had, try it and you will see how good it is. The flavor of the combined meats just comes through with a delicate taste that is out of this world. 

One of my readers made a comment that this Greek Soup is also called "giouvarlakia" or "giouvarlakia soup" and this dish is usually also made with rice instead of pasta. So a BIG!  thanks to Billmg81 on Youtube for the information. 

Please let me now how yours turned out and if you did anything different to it.. 




************************************************************************************************************


Recipe:

1/2 Pound - Medium ground meat
1/2 Pound - Ground  Lamb meat

1/3 Cup - Breadcrumbs
1/4 Cup - Feta cheese
1 Tbsp. - Dried parsley (option)
2 Cloves - Minced garlic
2 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1 - Egg

8 Cups - Chicken stock
1 Cup - Orzo pasta
1/3 Cup - Fresh parsley
1 Tbsp. - Oregano
1/4 Cup - Green onions
1 Tbsp. - Lemon rind
2 Tbsp. - Leamon juice

Salt and pepper to taste.

Topping;
Fresh mint


For More Information, Please See The Video below. 



************************************************************************************************************


In this recipe,  I am using half and half of ground beef and lamb. Now if you are not fond of lamb, then you can use just all beef. Now I did buy the meat whole and minced it myself to get it just perfect. 

Any combination that you use with this recipe will always turn out awesome. So go ahead and add whatever makes you happy. 



This Feta cheese just grabs all the flavors together and blends in just right. Do not worry that you will have some of the cheese larger or smaller, it all goes well with any amount. 

Try it with other cheese if you like and let me know how it turned out for you. 






By not browning the meat mixture first, it lets the soup penetrate into the meatballs, and in this way it gives it an awesome taste that you will never forget. 







This is the point that you can add really any herbs that you would like. After all, it is your soup and you should make it your way. 

The varieties are endless for this recipe. 







Now go ahead and add the meatballs to the bowl,  one, two or three, I bet you will ask for more, there is never enough. 

As for me at the wedding, I did ask for a second plate for I could not resist. Go and try to have just three, I bet you will ask for more.

Honey Sriracha Chicken With Rice



Honey Sriracha Chicken With Rice


If you like a hot and spicy dish that is fast to make and is easy with no fuss, then here it is. I just love this dish for everything here just blends in so well that you will enjoy it over and over again. The spice is just perfect with the chicken with the smoothness of the rice. 

Go ahead and make sure that you make a lot of this dish, for I know for a fact that everyone from your Family to your friends will ask for more. They will swear that you had this Dish delivered by some Oriental restaurant. 

Please let me know, how yours turned out and how everyone complemented the Chef. 


************************************************************************************************************


Recipe; 

1 Lb. - Chicken breast

2 Tbsp. - Cornstarch

Sauce:
2 Tbsp. or more - Sriracha sauce or see Homemade below
1/2 Cup - Water
1/4 Cup - Brown sugar
3 Tbsp. - Soya sauce
2 Tbsp. - Honey
1 Clove - Garlic
1 Tbsp. - Cornstarch

Salt and pepper to taste

Option:
1 Teaspoon - Hot red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. or more - Any hot sauce


Homemade Sriracha Sauce:
1 Tbsp. - Powdered chill
2 Cloves - Minced garlic or powdered
3 Tbsp. - Ketchup
1/4 Cup - Butter
2 Tbsp. - Brown sugar
1 Tsp. - Kosher salt
1/2 Cup - Water
1/4 Cup - Vinegar

Fresh grinded red jalapeno peppers can be used, about 2 to 3  larger (seeded) for this amount.


Melt the butter with the garlic and then add  the other items. Let it come to a boil for about 3 minutes. Refrigerate overnight or for a few hours.


For more information, please see the Video below. 



************************************************************************************************************





To get the best tasting chicken, get the natural Farmers (free range) or as organic as possible. 

Here the portion is for about two Persons, but you can double it for more servings. 







This recipe calls for a Sriracha sauce that you can get about anywhere. Now if you can not find any, please use any hot sauce or you can make a homemade version like I have added to the above recipe. 





One way to add cornstarch or flour when the mixture is hot. Is to add it to a small strainer and just tape it slowly into the mixture and keep on stirring. In this way, it will blend in perfectly and it will not form any lumps. 

This will give also give you more control over how thick you want it. 





I  do   not  really  brown  the  chicken   too  much
because I want the sauce to penetrate into the meat more. I find that in this way, I get a more flavorful taste, more juicy and moist chicken. 







When everything is together, let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes on low for the sauce to bond better to the meat. 

If you make extra, then you can freeze it. for it does that well.

Creamy Chicken And Broccoli Pasta



Creamy Chicken And Broccoli Pasta

I really like this recipe and I find myself making it over and over again. Really this pasta dish can be made in a few minutes and while the pasta is being cooked, it will be ready for it at the same time to finish off with an outstanding dish. 

The chicken blended with the cream cheese, comes together just perfect in a way that your Family and friends will keep asking you for more. There is really no way any person can mess up this recipe and it will always turn out awesome. 

Please let me know how yours turned out and did you add anything to it to make it yours. 



**********************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1/2 Package -  Any Pasta

1 Lb.  - Chicken breast

4 Cups - broccoli Florets (flower)
1/2 Cup - Cream cheese with garlic
1/2 Cup - Milk
1/4 Cup - Water
2  Tbsp. -   Chicken seasoning
2  Tbsp. -  Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options;
1/4 Cup - Heavy cream
Any favour of cream cheese


For more information, please see video below; 



**********************************************************************************************************



When you are making the dish, remember that you are not limited to just using a chicken seasoning mix, you can add almost any seasoning or any pre-packaged soup mix. 

Go ahead, be a brave person and try using a taco, pizza, and/or a kebab mix, I am sure it will surprise you just how many combinations and choices you will have. 






I am using here only about 1 pound of chicken breast for i is just perfect for two people. Now you can double the chicken and the ingredients for more servings.

also, this recipe  freezes very well and you could add some to smaller containers and heat them up when you need it. 




The size of the broccoli is really a personal thing on the cut of the flower. Too big and it will be hard  for some to eat, too small and it will lose its flavour of  the dish. 

Also removing most of the stem will keep it from becoming a little on the bitter side. Keep the leftovers to make a veggie stock. 




Here in this recipe I am using a cream cheese that has some garlic in it. Next time  try it with different types of  flavour and you will see how diversified this dish can be. 







When you drain the pasta, please do not run water on it, because we want to keep all the starch in order to make our sauce more naturally thicker. 

Mix the sauce mixture together or pour it on the pasta, either way it will always turn out awesome.
