Hot & Sticky Chicken Pops

These are just great. If you've got pickier kids then you can dial up the honey and dial down the hot and they'll love them. For adults, do the opposite. I like to serve this type of stuff as a heavy snack or during a chaotic dinner where you've got lots of folks coming and going. Obviously, these are open to be dressed up any way you like or even just straight roasted / fried for the crispy angle. 

Popping the knuckle off of drumsticks is a great trick. It not only makes a nice little handle, it's also visually appealing. Lastly, it severs the little tendons that run up and down chicken thighs that aren't the most pleasant when eating. This is a good technique to get used to using in many different chicken dishes. I believe it is called "Frenched chicken".

Gather the Good Stuff 

1. Chicken Drumstick - 6-8 or what ever will fit comfortably in your roasting pan
2. 1 Tbsp - rice wine vinegar   
3. 1 Tbsp honey - use good stuff 
4. 1-3 Tbsp Sriracha
5. Salt & Pepper 

Putting it all Together 

1. Grab the drumstick tightly and with a small sharp knife cut all around the bone about an inch up from the bottom. Make sure you get right through to the bone and cut through the tendons
  
2. Carefully using your knife, scrape the skin up and towards the end of the drumstick
3. Proceed your knife up into the joint revealing the bone beneath. Once you've got a view of where the bone meets the joint make a very small incision between the two just to help loosen it. From there, just pop the joint off with your hands leaving the bone only 
4. Assemble your chicken on a plate and salt / pepper generously. Make sure your oven is preheat to 200C / 390F
 
5. Roast in the 200C / 390F oven for 40-45 minutes until well cooked through, to internal temp of at least 160C
6. Meanwhile prepare your glaze by mixing all the wet ingredients together 
7. 5 minutes before the chicken is done, remove from the oven and brush half the glaze onto the drumsticks. Return to the oven for the last 5 minutes
8. When time is up, remove from the oven and glaze again  
9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds to garnish

Gloriously Garlic Noodles

  This is a dish that you can have on the table in 20 minutes or less. It has relatively simple ingredients that pack a ton of flavour. It's also open to a lot of variation. I like to serve it with shrimp as shown but really any protein will work, seafood being the fastest one to add. Also, feel free to play with the amount of garlic. The recipe that follows is on the extreme end of how much you want to put it in there. if you find garlic a little overpowering, or you have a dentist appointment the next day, maybe tone it down a bit.   Gather the Good Stuff  In regards to the sauce, you can be pretty loose with the quantities. If you like it a little saltier, use more soy sauce. If you like it a little hotter, add a little more cayenne. For the noodles, literally any noodles will do. I used the standard spaghetti but that's just because it is what I had on hand.  2 Tbsp soy sauce - a shot of a thicker darker one is probably a good idea. if you use one that is too light you'

Smokey Seafood Chowder

I have, rather unfortunately, only lived in places with average weather. I'm used to quite a bit of snow, rain and cold in my days so naturally it's important that I have a few good go-to recipes that warm you right to the bones.  This can easily be fancied up a bit for entertaining if you buy a more expensive fish and add a little saffron but I am a fan of the humble version. Don't be shy to try it with different kinds of trout or white fillets and bacon / thick pancetta instead of ham. I make this in the slow cooker but you could just as easily use  Gather the Good Stuff 400g or so of small potatoes - halved or quartered depending on size.  250g - whitefish or trout. Sole works well 250g of smoked whitefish   100g chopped bacon / ham / pancetta  2 tbsp butter  1 onion - diced  2 celery sticks - diced  50g corn nibbles  3 cups vegetable or fish broth  2/3 cup dry white wine   2/3 cup heavy cream 1 tsp dried tarragon  1 tsp white wine vinegar  Salt and pepper to taste  Putt
