Buffalo Wings

If you like spicy foods then this recipe is the best! This is one of my son's favorite food. Better have a handkerchief or tissue on your lap because this recipe is really hot!. Actually, i don't measure my ingredients and i seldom taste it while cooking. If it smells good then it is done. ^__^









Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. black pepper
20 chicken wings
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup hot sauce or
1/2 tsp chili powder



Procedure:


In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and peppers.

Coat chicken entirely in the flour mixture; refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour; coat chicken again with remaining flour mixture.

Using your saucepan, heat butter and hot sauce just until butter melts; turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top.

Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time for 13 minutes, turning once or twice.

Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack for 30 seconds, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture.

Repeat with remaining chicken.

Adjusting the spiciness of the sauce: As is, the recipe produces a medium sauce. To change the amount of spiciness, simply adjust the butter-to-hot sauce-ratio:
Mild: Use 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup hot sauce.
Hot: Use 1/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup hot sauce.

Chicken Afritada

This is my version of Chicken Afritada. I use real red tomatoes and no added preservatives and MSG. Actually, i don't measure my ingredients and i seldom taste it while cooking. If it smells good then it is done. ^__^





Ingredients:

1 small whole chicken, cut into small pieces
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
8 medium red tomatoes, sliced thinly
2 medium potatoes, chopped into 4 pcs
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped (optional)
a dash of oregano (optional)
a dash of marjoram (optional)
2 spoonfuls of patis (fish sauce, optional)
a cup of water
salt and pepper to taste
parsley (for garnishing)

Procedure:

Using your medium size pot pan, saute garlic and onions. Then add tomatoes saute it a little longer until the juices comes out. You may add the fish sauce to help the tomatoes extract their juices. Add the chicken and potatoes, mix it well. Cover and set the fire in low heat. In this process, it will produce more sauce so better be careful not too over cook it. Wait for 3 or 5 minutes, when it started to boil, add a little water. Remember to boil the chicken and potatoes first before adding water. If you think that your sauces are enough you may not need to add water anymore.
From here, you may now see that your tomatoes became saucy. Now add your bell peppers, oregano and marjoram. Seasoned it with pepper. You may add some salt but be careful since we have used patis in sauteing our tomatoes. Boil for another 2 minutes Serve hot. This dish serves 4 to 6 people. Bon Appetit! Douzo meshiagare! :))
