Lemon herb roasted chicken with potatoes and asparagus

We spotted this recipe from Instagram and decided to try it: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIaSusnhCLA/?igsh=MTFsb3hkZjNpY210OA== The instructions were scant (and sometimes inconsistent with the video), but we followed the ingredient list in the second photo (below). Our modifications: first, due to our overly sensitive smoke alarm, we used canola oil instead of olive oil based on our overly…… Continue reading Lemon herb roasted chicken with potatoes and asparagus

Japanese curry with chicken meatballs, sweet potato, and Swiss chard

Chicken meatballs in soy-honey glaze

We had leftover soy-honey glaze from chicken drumsticks: https://alexandracooks.com/2013/02/26/honey-soy-chicken-drumsticks-thighs-or-wings/. The glaze was so delicious that we couldn’t toss the remaining 8 oz (about 1/2 the amount of sauce needed). We decided to repurpose the sauce. First, we made chicken meatballs (but not the sauce) from this recipe: https://www.cookedandloved.com/recipes/chicken-meatballs-honey-garlic-soy-sauce/ Second, using the first recipe, we made…… Continue reading Chicken meatballs in soy-honey glaze

Japanese chicken meatballs (tsukune)

My husband loves meatballs of all kinds. So we tried this recipe: https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2019/09/japanese-chicken-meatballs-recipe-tsukune.html As written, the recipe calls for 14 oz ground chicken, but we had 16 oz (1 lb) from the supermarket.

We bought a lot of chicken drumsticks and wings preparing for a dinner party later this week, so we decided to use some extra pieces (5 drums, 5 wings) for this recipe: https://alexandracooks.com/2013/02/26/honey-soy-chicken-drumsticks-thighs-or-wings/ Our modifications: first we slightly reduced the soy sauce to 1/3 cup (down from 1/2 cup) and honey to 7/8 cup (down…… Continue reading Honey-soy chicken drumsticks and wings
