Freezer Meals Recipes - Whiskey Barbeque Chicken Drummies

2008-10-16T15:13:00.000+08:00

INGREDIENTS
12 lbs of chicken drummies

2 generic bottles of Kansas City Barbeque Sauce

2 sticks of unsalted butter

1 cup of McCormick’s Whiskey

1 cup of Brown Sugar

4 table spoons of Hot Curry Powder

4 table spoons of Ground Turmeric

2 fresh garlic cloves

Sriracha Hot Sauce, Salt, and Pepper to taste

Mesquite Wood Chips soaked in water for 1-3 hours

Instructions

Chicken is one of my favorite Freezer Meals Recipes. It is easy to cook, cheap to buy in bulk, and great as leftovers. Remove the chicken drummies from the refrigerator to bring them close to room temperature before grilling. Keep them covered. Start your charcoal so the grill will be ready when the sauce is prepared. In a sauce pan melt 2 sticks of butter on low heat. Add garlic cloves, hot curry powder, turmeric, salt and pepper to taste. The aroma of garlic and curry should begin to permeate the air, releasing their flavors. Add the 2 bottles of sauce, whiskey, brown sugar, and Sriracha hot sauce to taste. Raise the heat to medium. Stir the Whiskey Barbeque Sauce frequently as it begins to bubble. After a few minutes the ingredients should thicken to create a consistent sauce. Generously sauce the chicken prior to throwing them on the grill.

By this point in time the grill should be ready for barbeque. Throw a handful of the soaking woodchips on the grill to encourage smoke. I prefer to grill at a medium temperature, probably around 250-300 degrees. Between the wet wood chips and the grill cap, flames should be limited. You want the chicken to have time to soak in some of the smoke flavor, so don’t cook them to fast. The slower you cook it, the more tender it will be. Add the Barbeque Chicken to the grill. Sauce the chicken every 15-30 minutes. You want the inside of the chicken to reach over 170 degrees. Eat what you can and save the rest for your freezer.

KFC Popcorn Chicken Recipe

2008-10-13T18:30:00.001+08:00

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 cup white flour
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
2 small boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cups vegetable oil (or any other frying oil)
2 paper towels

Instructions

Mix flour and Cajun seasoning in small mixing bowl.

In separate bowl, beat egg.

Cut chicken breasts in small pieces ranging anywhere from about a 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch in size, depending on how crispy you want (smaller=crispier).

Pour oil into a small skillet and place on a medium heat.

Dip pieces of chicken into egg, being sure they are fully covered.

Drop the chicken, piece by piece into the flour mixture, fully coating the chicken.

Test to be sure that the oil is ready by dropping a little glob of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready! Now, slide the chicken into the skillet, easily and slowly to be sure the oil doesn't splatter all over you. Do this as quickly as possible. After about 3-4 minutes, flip the pieces over (pieces should be colored a light golden brown).

When chicken is finished, scoop it out draining as much oil as possible into the pan for more chicken and place it on a plate with the two paper towels lining the bottom.

This will catch and drain the excess oil so your chicken is super crunchy.

My best serving suggestion is buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.

# 4 tablespoons milk

Lemon sauce:
# 4 tablespoons icing sugar
# 1 lemon, extract juice
# 1/2 lemon, finely grate the rind

Instruction
Beat the butter (or margarine) with the sugar and lemon rind until fluffy. Add in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the flour and milk with a spatula.

Pour the mixture into a loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper and bake in a cold oven for 55 minutes to 1 hour at 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Do not preheat the oven. The cake will bake as the temperature rises.

# 1/4 cup fine-milled raw sugar (or castor sugar), one teaspoon more if you like your tarts sweeter

2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Ingredients
# 3kg lamb leg
# 4 tbsp tomato puree
# 4 tbsp beef powder
# 30g fresh coriander

# 3 Mexican jalapenos (available in jars from upmarket supermarkets)
# 300g carrot and French beans, sliced

# 2 tbsp garlic powder
# 3 tbsp paprika powder
# 2 tbsp cumin powder
# 2 tbsp coriander powder
# 3 litres peeled tomatoes (fresh or from the can)
# 50g chilli powder

Instruction
Debone lamb leg and cut into 2.5cm cubes. Put in a pot and set on low fire. (For this stew, you don’t add water for the stock. The tomatoes will provide the juice to flavour the stew.)

Cut onions into cubes and saute till fragrant in a pan. Add into pot.

Saute together paprika powder, garlic powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, cloves and chilli powder until fragrant. Add half litre water (or one glass) into the spice to form a thin paste. Then add the paste into the pot.

While the lamb is slowly cooking, add tomato puree, sliced jalapeno, sliced mushrooms, beef stock powder, the whole peeled tomatoes and fresh coriander. When the lamb is tender, add sliced carrot and french beans. Stew for about one-and-a-half hours or until desired consistency is reached. Serve with Mexican rice.

Note
If you can’t find jalapeno, substitute with pickled local green chillies.

Apricot gel glaze:
# 225g apricot jam
# 55ml water
# 1 3/4 tsp lemon juice

Instruction
Grease a deep 20cm round cake tin and line the base and sides with a double layer of greaseproof paper.

Sift the flours with the mixed spice. Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and adding a little flour if the mixture shows signs of curdling.

Beat in the essence. Fold in the sifted flours in batches, alternating it with a tablespoon of cointreau each time.

Mix fruits in a mixing bowl and add in one to two tablespoons flour. Stir fruits into the creamed mixture.

Spoon the mixture into prepared cake tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Knock tin lightly on a flat surface to break up any air bubbles.

Bake in a preheated oven at 160 ºC for an hour, lower the temperature to 150 ºC and continue to bake for another hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean and dry.

Cool cake in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

To make topping: Brush apricot gel over cake. Arrange the pecan nuts in the centre of cake and brush with more gel to give the cake a beautiful sheen. Allow cake to dry before dusting with icing sugar.

To make Apricot gel glaze: Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir well until it is thoroughly blended and mixture is smooth. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes then force the mixture through a fine wire sieve. Brush the warm glaze over the cake.

You can keep the rest of the glaze in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will last for a fortnight.
