Tangy Wings

All of us at home love chicken wings but someone hates buffalo sauce (me), some hate barbecue (how is this even possible, I ask you) and some are unhappy with honey mustard type things. No, I didn't come combine all of these and make one magical sauce. But I did do a lot of things... some of which I'm forgetting - I'm so so sorry. Please don't hurt me. Anyway, here: Ingredients: I used about 1 kg Chicken Wings   2 cups                  Buttermilk*       Flour Spice Mix 1 cup Flour 3 tbsp Cornflour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Red Chilli Powder A pinch Oregano 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder ½ tsp  Paprika ½ tsp  White Pepper Sauce 3 tbsp Butter 3 cloves (minced) Garlic 1 tsp   Red Chilli Flakes ½ tsp  Salt 2 tsp   Brown Sugar ½ cup Mustard ½ cup  Chilli Garlic Sauce ¼ cup Chipotle** ¼ cup Habanero*** ¼ cup Vinegar 2 tbsp Soya Sauce ¼ cup BBQ Sauce ¼ cup S...

Chicken Ginger

Let me start by saying I really, truly hate ginger. I hate the taste, I hate the texture, I hate the flavor. And yet, I love this chicken recipe. There's something about this combo that makes me not throw up. That's the best thing I can say wherever ginger is involved, trust me.

Chinese Lemon Chicken

I already have a Lemon Chicken recipe up here, but that one's healthier and easier which obviously means it sucks. I didn't have a recipe for this one, tried it by mixing a few different things. You'll probably have to adjust according to your own taste.

Honey Sesame Chicken with Garlic Rice.

The chicken is sticky, sour and sweet; tastes great with the rice but two things to take care of while making this: Image courtesy: Cooking with Crystal. 1. Make sure you have the right kind of honey. Some types leave a certain smell and taste that overpowers and completely ruins the dish. What you're looking for isn't the flavor of the honey. It's the sticky texture and the smoky sweetness you can't get from processed sugar. If you're not a fan of honey, you can use unprocessed brown sugar but it won't retain the quality or texture given by using honey. 2. The sauce needs to be just right. If it's too thick, you won't be able to eat it with the rice because it'll dry up once cold. If it's too thin, it'll ruin the chicken and produce a dish that at best can be pronounced 'blah'. We're not looking for blah. We're looking for wowza. Okay, back to the recipe. Ingredients Chicken Chicken Breast 5...

Spicy Chicken Tortilla Wraps with Mexican Rice

I have only these words of warning for you: Lots of tomato puree. Lots of onion. Lots of spice. If you're not a fan of either of those, please go look at another milder, less tomatoey recipe. This one here is not what you want. For those who do love Mexican food (albiet a bit desi style) you'll use this recipe again and again. Seriously. It's long. Has a lot of steps but it's pretty simple and completely worth it. Also, those leftovers omg.
