      Blackened chicken recipe

        Blackened Chicken
        Blackened chicken is so easy to make and prepare for dinner. The truth is with just a simple combination of spices you can prepare delicious and flavorful boneless chicken. Chances are you already have most or all of these spices on hand, which makes this an amazing recipe to prepare with ingredients you already have in your pantry. This chicken does have a little kick to it from black pepper, white pepper, and cayenne pepper. If you want less spice you can reduce the amount of these ingredients. The chicken is coated with the blackened seasoning and then fried in the pan. I like to serve this recipe with wild rice. Enjoy.

          Baked Bone-in Chicken Breasts

          Baked bone-in chicken breasts recipe

            Baked Bone-in Chicken Breasts
            Baked bone-in chicken breasts have a lot more flavor than boneless skinless breasts. I have started using split breasts that are bone-in with the skin-on more and more lately. This chicken is cooked in the oven to perfection. A lot of the flavor in this dish comes from garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper. The chicken is easy to prepare and you can serve it with a variety of different side dishes. You can pound the chicken with a heavy cast iron skillet to thin it out a bit so it will reduce the cooking time. If you can find chicken breasts that are smaller, that would be a good option. Enjoy.

                          Smoked Chicken
                          I have always had an interest in the delicious flavor of smoked meats, so when I got my hands on a Traeger wood pellet grill I knew had to prepare a couple of smoked chickens. I used 2 whole 4lb chickens for this recipe. First I prepared a spice blend and then mixed it with butter and rubbed it under the skin and all over the outside of each chicken. I then placed the chicken onto the pellet grill and smoked the chickens at 350 degrees F. for about an hour and 30 minutes. The flavor of the pellets that I used to cook this chicken were the hickory bbq hardwood pellets.

                                              A lot of the time I will settle for boneless chicken breasts but the truth is, roasting bone-in chicken breast with the skin on in the oven is far more flavorful and delicious.

Chinese chicken balls are pieces of chicken that are coated with a batter and then fried and served with sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour sauce gets a lot of its flavor from ketchup, vinegar, and pineapple juice. If you don’t have pineapple juice you can just use water but the flavor won’t be exactly the same. If you would like a loss that is a little bit less sweet simply add less sugar. You can fry the chicken pieces in a large pot or a deep-fryer, using a deep-fryer will be a bit easier. I like to serve this recipe with white rice. Enjoy.
