Hey, everyone! I hope this post finds you happy, healthy, and well. So, in case you haven’t noticed, it is officially fall and what comes with fall? Football! So, who is your favorite team? I am a Michigan native who live sin Pennsylvania so my love for the Lions does not go over well with all of these die-hard Steelers fans. Haha!

Maybe, if I serve all of these Steelers fan some of these amazing hot wings they won’t be so hard on me. In all honesty, I’m more of a college football fan anyway. Go blue! For those of you who do not know what that means, I am expressing my love for the University of Michigan. Tell me who your team is in the comments and what your favorite football party snack foods are. i always love hearing from you all!

Quick Tip: Serve your hot wings with carrot and celery sticks.

My husband is begging me to make these twice a week.

This Buttermilk Fried Chicken is a classically Southern twist on the usual American fried chicken recipe.  It makes for a great main course for lunch or dinner at home, but with the right sides, it also makes for great picnic and tailgate food. My great-grandmother in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, made some fabulous buttermilk fried chicken.  Alas, she closely guarded all of her best recipes (to the point, in some cases, of going to different grocery stores for different groups of ingredients, so no one person working there would have the full list of ingredients) and would only share them with fellow culinary artists who were very close to her.

Unfortunately, she passed away before I properly got into cooking.  I can’t say for sure that it’s an exact match (time blurs certain details and enhances others), but this buttermilk fried chicken does come close to her old recipe, at the very least, and I assure you that it is quite delicious.

I mean, all you can do is make this recipe for yourself and sample it. I guarantee you won’t be sorry! Grandma certainly knew what she was doing in the kitchen and her recipes prove this sentiment time and time again. Enjoy!

Quick tip: Mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish for these!

Have some fried chicken and give it a bit of Asian flair! With this Japanese Mochiko Chicken recipe, you can make this common Hawaiian “bento” and potluck item in the comfort of your own home, wherever you may be. I do enjoy exploring different ways of cooking chicken, particularly Asian-style options, and this is a good Japanese way of doing it, using mochiko (sweet rice flour).  The crust is softer than most recipes for American fried chicken but still very flavorful.

Though this recipe is for wings, and that is how you will most often see this recipe used, you can make use of other chicken pieces as well, including most skinless and boneless options.  Oh, and if you are having difficulty finding the mochiko, you can use something else with sweet rice flour in it, such as Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour. You may want to increase the amount of soy sauce, egg, and oyster sauce that you use in the batter, if you make that substitution, to keep the batter from being too thick and pasty.

Quick tip: Marinate overnight for an even tastier result!

How many recipes have you tried for buffalo wings? I don’t know about you but I’ve tried quite a few of them. They’ve all been “meh, okay” but when I tried these, wow was I surprised! These wings are really worth the small amount of extra effort in preparation.

After trying out all those recipes I went back to just using the Frank’s Louisiana Hot Sauce with some butter, and tossed the wings when they came out of the fryer. This is a more complex flavor profile – and totally worth these extra steps of prepping the wings with spices before cooking! Also my family likes medium wings so I lessened the Tabasco, but it really adds a great flavor to these wings. I also used some really chunky blue cheese dressing with ours; they where great.

Quick Tip: Make sure you have enough wings because these disappear faster than you’d ever think!

Love chicken wings? Check. Love Sriracha? Check. Love chicken wings and Sriracha combined? Check-check! These are so easy because you do them in the slow cooker, and they are fall off the bone tender.

My family loves wings! I remember when the wings craze first hit back in the early 80’s and I love some good traditional buffalo wings. But these honey sriracha wings are a great change of pace and as I stated, they’re super easy.

Make these for your next get-together or a game night and I guarantee they’ll be gone in the blink of an eye! And if your family or guests love extra spicy food, you could even add a little bit of red pepper flakes. But make sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby!
