This month, I asked the bloggers to celebration National Fried Chicken Day which is July 6th. I asked: "Let's share any and all Fried Chicken recipes for National Fried Chicken Day. I'll take wings, drumsticks, popcorn chicken recipes...and anything that you'd eat with fried chicken. Think coleslaw, biscuits, potatoes. Be creative." Here's the line-up...

Vietnamese Fried Chicken Wings 

I rarely fry things, but chicken is one of those that I do fry. One of our favorites is Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken); we have also enjoyed Indian-Spiced Fried Chicken. But, for this event, I decided to make oven-fried chicken wings with an amazing Vietnamese glaze. We loved this so much, we've made it three times this month! One week we had Finger Food Monday and served them with peel-and-eat shrimp.

Ingredients serves 4
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and wings (tips saved for stock or discard)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • freshly ground salt, if needed
  • freshly ground pepper, if needed
  • Also needed: baking sheet, parchment paper
Dipping Sauce

  • 4 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 6 Tablespoons organic granulated sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 
  • 4 Tablespoons water

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with oil and spices. Place wings - skin side up - on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them for 45 to 50 minutes. They will be cooked through and the skin nicely browned and crisped.


While the wings are cooking, make the dipping sauce. Place all of the ingredients in a sauce pan and heat until the the sugar dissolves. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly


When the wings are done, toss them in the sauce.


Serve immediately.

That's a wrap for my offering. Next month we'll be celebrating National Zucchini Day. Stay tuned!!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
