Curry Roasted Wings
So Babe and her Dad had a come to Jesus talk with me a few weeks ago. They ever so gently (snort) told me that I am wasting my talents serving them the same rotation of meals every week O_o See how they gang up on me?? Well to that end, I was on the hunt for "new and exciting" dishes to serve the troops. So for the next couple of weeks I will be cooking that "new, new ish"
Adapted from Cuisine at Home, Issue 57 June 2008
What you need:
- 1/8 cup of your favorite curry powder
- 1/8 cup garam marsala
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 16 chicken wing pieces
- 1/4 cup oil (you need enough oil to evenly coat the wings)
- 1/2 - 1 cup apple jelly
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Combine the curry powder, garam marsala, pepper flakes and pepper in a resealable plastic bag; reserve 1 Tbs of mixture
- In a medium bowl add the chicken and the oil; using your hands evenly coat the chicken
- Add the chicken, seal the bag and shake to coat
- On a baking sheet place the wings in a single layer and roast for 30 minutes or until cooked through
- In a medium skillet add the reserved spice mix along with the apple jelly; warm just enough to melt the jelly. Place the cooked chicken in the apple jelly mixture and gently stir to coat.

Now Churning: Cookie Dough Ice Cream
.jpg)
What you need:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 T unsalted butter
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 t pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
What to do:
- In small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and egg yolks until pale and fluffy. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter until it’s a deep golden brown color. There will be brown tiny flecks at the bottom of the pan and have a delicious nutty smell
- Add the half and half and heat until just about to boil
- Take the half and half mixture off the heat, and *temper the eggs until about half of the half/half is mixed into the egg/sugar mixture.
*Temper: to gradually introduce hot liquid to eggs while stirring. Do this so you won't cook the eggs with the hot liquid.
- Pour everything back into the sauce pan. Heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon; be sure to consistently stir the mixture while heating.
- Off the heat add the whole milk and vanilla
- Cool the mixture in the fridge; I usually do this overnight.
- Transfer to your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning
- When the ice cream is almost fully churned, add the chocolate chips
- Freeze overnight
