Japanese Chicken Wings


Okay, so I've started cooking in the last year or so. Guess that what you gotta do when you have kids unless you want the whole family to starve. But this is one of the recipes that I have actually made a couple of times. It is really good. I suggest pairing it with the Lipton Asian Sides Teriyaki flavor. It really compliments the chicken. You can even do this on boneless chicken breasts or nuggets. My husband doesn't eat chicken on bones so I have to get creative. Enjoy. Holla.
"Chicken wings are egged and fried in butter, then baked in a tangy sauce of soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Delicious, sticky chicken wings!"

RECIPE RATING: *****
SERVINGS: 6
INGREDIENTS
3 pounds chicken wings
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
1 cup butter
SAUCE
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut wings in half, dip in egg and coat with flour.
Heat butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry wings until deep brown. Place in a shallow roasting pan.
In a small bowl combine soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Pour over wings.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, basting wings with sauce often.

It's Burger Time...



Okay, check this out. Many of you know I am in constant search of the best Burger in Atlanta. Well, thanks to Global14.com I have come across a very good contender. I haven't actually tried the burger yet, but the reviews have been great. Plus, they actually serve these burgers for a limited time only. So, even if the burger isn't that good, I gotta give it up for the marketing and advertisement of the whole thing.

So just to give you a little insight on the whole situation let me explain how crazy burger situation is. The signature burger is called the "Down Low Cheeseburger". It is such a special item that they don't even put it on the menu. However, at 10pm each night they make 24 burgers available for purchase. Reservations are not accepted so arrive early. They usually sell out within 5 minutes according to some of the reviews I've read. Also on Sunday during Brunch they acually have them available for dine in or carry out orders.

The burger itself consists of 2 brisket/chuck patties smothered in cheese... topped with house made bread from the Holeman and Finch Bakery located next door, red onions, bread-and-butter pickles, homeade ketchup, and yellow mustard.

So here's the info you need before you go. Cuz I'm sure you want to go now. Let me know what you think. Holla.

For all the Dark liquor drinkers...



Okay people I know I haven't been on here in a while. I've been having some computer issues and had to get some things fixed. Well as you can see I have already posted one entry tonight even though it wasn't really a post, it was just a video. But, I did come across it while on Youtube and thought is was very interesting. I don't really know anyone who can do that. I know for sure I'm not the one. Anyway, in keeping with the theme, I thought I would put yall onto something that i heard was really good. Johnny Walker Blue Label and Johnny Walker Green Label. I haven't actually tasted it myself because I don't drink dark liquor, but just thought I would pass it along for those of you who do. I am a Vodka girl, so if you know of some new very tasty Vodka, then hit me up and let me know. If you decide to taste it, save me a small corner. Just Kidding. But for real save me the bottle cuz those of you who know me know I love the bottles and I am very grateful for those of you who look out for me when you finish those bottles of liquor. I love having liquor drinking friends. Anyway, take a look and let me know if you have tried either of these and if so what you thought about them. Holla.
