Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - cjs - 10-14-2010 What's on the menu for everyone?? I thawed out a couple pkgs. of what I thought was the front quarters of chicken. They turned out to be wings that I was saving for a party!!! darn. So, just cooked them up in the crockpot with: Asian Slow-Cooked Chicken Wings Serve these wings as either an appetizer with a bleu cheese dressing, or over Udon noodles for an easy main dish. Both ways are delicious. 2 lbs. chicken wings 1/4 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup barbecue sauce 2 T. honey 2 T. Plum sauce 2 T. Black Bean Garlic sauce Cut each chicken wing into three pieces; discard the end pointy part and put the other parts of the wing in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, barbecue sauce, honey, plum sauce, black bean garlic sauce and pour over the wings. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 2 1/2 hours; or, set to low and cook for 5 hours. For sauces for the wings¸ here are two ideas: 1.After removing the wings from the slow cooker, pour the ‘gravy’ into small saucepan and thicken with a slurry of cornstarch (1 T. cornstarch mixed with 1 T. cold water).check if amts. correct. 2.Purchase or make a bleu cheese dressing for the wings. So, tonight we'll try them with the noodles and keep a few to try with the blue cheese (using Mom's roquefort dressing recipe) Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - Harborwitch - 10-14-2010 Ooooooh those look so goodl Hmmmmmm. I think we need to stay inside and eat what I have. We wind up sitting over cocktails and appys and then don't want dinner. Maybe we have adjust dinner time - lunch. Those are going on the menu very soon. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - cjs - 10-14-2010 "Maybe we have adjust dinner time - lunch." - Sharon, this really does work! Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - HomeCulinarian - 10-14-2010 Jean - that looks like you'd need a bib! Yum! I've got chicken breasts marinating and some vegetables marinating that will be combined and baked when I get home. It's a recipe from Best Make Ahead from Cook's Illustrated. A repeat appearance. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - Gourmet_Mom - 10-14-2010 YUM! Jean, those wings look and sound GREAT! That will definitely go on the menu. Do you think it would work just as well with legs or boneless thighs? I could pick some wings up easily, but I have the legs and thighs in the freezer. Tonight is the Hatch Green Chile Stew...if I can make it work out without the green enchilada sauce. I thought I'd serve it with rice and cornbread. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - cjs - 10-14-2010 Oh sure - I just had "200 Canapes, Appetizers...." in my mind. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - Mare749 - 10-14-2010 Thursday night, so it's pasta night. Spaghetti with Italian turkey sausage and homemade sauce and a romaine salad. Oh, and fresh Italian bread. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - Trixxee - 10-14-2010 French dips on a baguette I picked up at a little Vietnamese place that that bread for their Bahn Mi sandwiches, and a baby romaine salad. Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - karyn - 10-14-2010 Jean, those wings look delicious! We're having taco salad...nothing special, but always yummy! Re: Thursday's Dinner - 10/14/10? - labradors - 10-15-2010 Had the Sweet Corn Quinoa as a side (see the separate thread for that). For the meat, I got a few ribs (not a lot) and glazed them with the little bit of sauce I had left from that chipotle dip, and that was excellent. Well, actually, the FLAVOUR was excellent, but there was too little of it left (and too much juice from the ribs) that it wasn't much of a glaze. I'm seriously considering making a full batch of the sauce, letting it reduce until thicker, then using it as a glaze on ribs or ham.
