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...


Cánh Gà Chiên Nước Mắm
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!!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
