https://youtu.be/mRWWwNOaPqM Video Bourbon Bacon Game Hens Our Video Bourbon Bacon Game Hens were dressed to impress. We had one of Patti’s best friends over for dinner and we wanted to make something extra, extra special, but not with taking a lot of time to prepare. So, we came up with a delicious three ingredient entrée. Rock Cornish Game hens are always popular because everyone gets…
Cranberry Teriyaki Chicken We wanted something fun and festive, so Cranberry Teriyaki Chicken fit the bill. A really easy marinade made with just three ingredients. The recipe makes plenty so Ken could have several chicken breasts and Patti could have her favorite chicken legs. Chef of the Future Coconut Curry seasoning added another delicious layer of sweet and savory flavor. I’m glad we made a…
Garlicky Faux Fried Chicken Legs We love fried chicken, but not drowned in oil. So we made Garlicky Faux Fried Chicken Legs baked with the help of our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven. Instead of the usual egg wash Patti added some of our smoked garlic grilling sauce to the beaten egg. Fantastic, plus the mayonnaise in the sauce helped make the breading extra crispy. As…
Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs We’re having a triple digit summer (we seemed to have missed winter completely) so Ken wanted to go to our favorite wooded spot for a picnic. Patti made extra Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs so we would have a great picnic dish. There are lots of lemon pepper powders full of salt on the market, but this seasoning/grilling sauce had little or…
Raspberry Balsamic Chicken It’s most definitely summertime. We wanted something light. Raspberry Balsamic Chicken, is easy and full of flavor. Ken likes his salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. So, Patti took it one step further and used it as part of her raspberry balsamic chicken. Along with a few more “on hand” ingredients she marinated her chicken thighs for a several hours and then onto…
Orange Peel Glaze Orange Peel Glaze, we’ve already started thinking about holiday recipes and glazes. This simple glaze takes only minutes to make and is just magical. It's easy with only three ingredients and lots of flavor. This will go very well with chicken, duck, turkey, ham, pork loin or chops and ribs. Prep Time: 5 minutes. Glaze 1 24oz. jar orange marmalade, (Patti buys…
Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders This recipe was especially tasty and fun to make. Patti cut one of Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts into ½” strips. Using Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts we knew it would be tender and full of flavor…if we didn’t have Zaycon Fresh we would have just called them chicken strips. You can really taste the difference. Plus, we got to use Ken’s Mom’s…
Caesar Marinated Chicken Leg Quarters It’s been a long day, plus 97 degrees of dry heat. But, we still have to have dinner. Thanks to our Pacific Living Outdoor Oven we made an easy three ingredient dinner and kept the kitchen cool. We love doing recipes with “on hand” ingredients and served with cold sliced tomatoes this was perfect. Patti made enough to have some…
St. Patti’s Roll Up We are always trying to think outside of the box. So, for St. Patrick’s Day we came up with an untraditional traditional meal. Sounds like us: traditional in an untraditional way…and loving it! We did a roll up with corned beef and cabbage our way. Sometimes the best meals are quick and easy, this is both. Patti and I have set…
Almond Crusted Chicken We love chicken legs and we wanted to do something a little special. Using Ken’s antique nut crusher we got from his Grandmother we crushed some whole, raw almonds and used them for a crunchy coating for our whole chicken legs. Patti used panko bread crumbs seasoned just right with Chef of the Future Honey Garlic Seasoning Rub. Almond Crusted Chicken Outdoor…
Parmesan Crusted Chicken Drumsticks We’ve been getting requests for kid friendly tailgating food. Patti thought chicken drumsticks because they’re easy to prepare and come with a handle for the little ones. Fried chicken is always good, but Patti likes to Pacific Living Oven “fry” it so it’s a little healthier than soaking it in oil. To make it extra tasty we put lots of grated…
Wings Anyone Ken‘s best buddy, Tony the sailor man, came to visit for the holidays and had to have chicken wings to go with lots of football viewing. Ken found some new extra zippy sauces he loves and Patti wanted more of a mustard based sauce. Patti bought 5lbs. of chicken wings and we all had plenty that were sauced just right. Ken & Tony…
