It’s a chicken wing kind of day in our house!

For one, there’s a showdown happening…a Fantasy Football showdown. More about that later!

If you’ve ever had Bang Bang Shrimp then you know how addicting this sweet and spicy sauce can be!

So as I was pondering what flavor pairing to consider for today’s Game Day Wings it came to me. And the Bang Bang Chicken Wings of Love were born!

This simple flavor packed sauce is smooth and tangy and has only four ingredients:

• Mayonnaise
• Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
• Sriracha Hot Sauce
• Honey

About the Fantasy Football Showdown. Nick and I have been in the same fantasy football league for years. Inevitably we’d play each other 2-3 times throughout the season with fairly equal head to head results. But never have we met each other in the final championship series….until this year!

This is Final Playoff Week 1 of 2. At the time I started this blog post, Team Take a Hike (that’s me) was a 20 point favorite. I’m now projected to lose by 35 points. I’ll keep you posted on this house divided showdown! It ain’t over til it’s over!

The ingredients in this salad are simple and colorful and fresh. Tangy feta, with blistered tomatoes and crisp corn pair perfectly with creamy avocado and fresh cucumber and greens.

Then there’s the Sherry Vinaigrette. Just the right balance of vinegar to honey to aromatic shallot and garlic.

I recently had the opportunity to prepare a Tailgate Luncheon for a very special Birthday Party!

When I sat down with my neighbor to plan the menu we got stuck on what type of salad to include.

Should we do a pasta salad like Italian Tortellini – decided on Three Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese instead.

Perhaps a great big Greek Salad with grilled chicken – we’ve already agreed on Mardi Gras Chicken Wings.

We went through this exercise for a few minutes before I posed this question….. What is your favorite salad? With a smile on her face she said there’s a salad at From The Earth that I love.

Bingo! We shall recreate that salad. Because with all that fun (and indulgent) Game Day food, it’s nice to have a great big salad!

I made multiple FTE visits, each time ordering THE salad. I quickly became a fan too!

I’m just now noticing I should have halved my cherry tomatoes ;-)

This salad makes a wonderful lunch or light meal. AND you can easily make a big batch to serve at your next family gathering or potluck!

What’s your favorite salad? The one that puts a smile on your face. I’d love for you to share in the comments below :)

These sticky sticks are finger-licking good. The Kung Pao sauce packs a little heat with giant sweet and savory flavors!

The Kung Pao Sauce

This Asian inspired sauce is sweet, savory and slightly spicy. When cooked, the sauce thickens making it the perfect marinade and basting sauce.

The shallot and garlic are sautéed in olive oil, then the remaining ingredients are added. Bring to a boil and allow to cool completely.

• Olive oil
• Shallot & garlic
• Honey
• Soy Sauce (or coconut aminos)
• Rice Wine Vinegar
• Ginger
• Chili Crisp Oil (or sriracha hot sauce)

Instructions

Marinate 4 chicken drumsticks for 1-2 hours in cooled Kung Pao sauce. You can easily double or triple this recipe!

Remove chicken from Kung Pao Sauce and place on a rack set in a foil lined baking sheet. Pour sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

The Method

Many recipes I reviewed called for frying the chicken legs before baking.  I opted to go for a total baked version, basting along the way with boiled sauce. 

Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes or until internal temp. registers 175 degrees when stuck with meat thermometer.  They will be crispy, juicy and delicious!

We have one of those great meat fork thermometers.  If you don’t, I recommend the ThermoWorks one.  And I’d get it today and gift it to the house grill master.

Serve the drumsticks topped with crushed peanuts and sliced scallions.  Serve with fingers and napkins. These chicken wings pack so much flavor you’ll want to make them again and again!

Do you have a favorite finger food you’d like for me to recreate here? I’d love for you to share in the comments below.

And run hard!

The fun thing is, this recipe is SOOOO easy!!

Easy enough that even my college kids can handle this recipe. #collegecooking

Back in March I decided to run with a series of meatball recipes called March Meatball Madness. April is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month and I embraced that as well.

When May rolled around I challenged myself to put out a new Chicken Wing recipe each week for 5 consecutive weeks. We ate a lot of wings! And no one was complaining.

I’m not sure how many chicken wing flavor combinations is enough for one blog to bear. But we’re committed to find out!!

Random thought. Remember the Tootsie Roll commercial. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? I’m feeling that. Except I’m not willing to give in at 3 or 5 or even possibly 10 chicken wing flavors. Let’s hold off and see how many flavors it takes to create the perfect Chicken Wing Recipe Roundup!!

The Honey Garlic Butter Sauce

The key is a 5-Ingredient Honey Garlic Butter Sauce that’s out of this world.

• The sauce starts with butter. Because butter.
• Next comes garlic. Lots of garlic.
• Then of course we add honey.
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten free version) adds a salty influence.
• Finish with sriracha hot sauce!

So simple, yet this sticky sweet buttery sauce elevates baked chicken wings to near perfection. Humbly, I hold back!

The Method

For this recipe, start by tossing your chicken wings in garlic powder, salt & pepper. Lay them on a rack over a foil lined baking sheet. Bake them at 400 degrees F. for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Don’t be afraid to broil them for a few minutes at the end to achieve crispy perfection.

Pour that luscious sauce over the baked wings then toss to coat!

Recipe Note: Depending on your tossing skills you might want to move outside for this step!

Did I mention that these wings are insanely good? They are a fabulous addition to any game day spread or tailgating party!

Roasting the garlic mellows it nicely while the fresh lemon juice gives a nice burst of bright flavor.

It all begins with oven roasted garlic. You’ll need one whole head of garlic, but you might want to roast two to have an extra on hand. Oven roasted garlic is fabulous in dips, as a spread, added to soups, or rubbed under chicken skin.

Here’s a link on How to Oven Roast Garlic.

For this vinaigrette, the ingredients are very straight forward. Garlic of course, fresh squeezed lemon juice, honey, red wine vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of salt.

Once the garlic is roasted, allow it to cool then squeeze it right into the remaining vinaigrette ingredients. I like to use a jar with a tight fitting lid. Just give the mixture a nice shake and pour over your favorite salad.

This Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette is a star ingredient in Insalata Chicken Florentine. It brings a wonderful full bodied taste and feel to your favorite salad. I hope you’ll give it a try.

It’s slightly sweet with the perfect tangy love and will make your baby greens dance.

And it takes all of 3 minutes to make.

What are you waiting for?

Key Ingredients

• Olive Oil – In this recipe you’ll want a mild neutral oil vs. an EVOO
• White Balsamic Vinegar – available in some grocery stores but you may need to pay a visit to a specialty store for more variety
• Honey or Maple Syrup – you can play with which you prefer depending on the flavor profile you’re looking for or the type of salad
• Salt & pepper – keep it simple for this base recipe

Optional Ingredients

• Citrus Juice – adding one Tablespoon of fresh lemon, orange or even grapefruit juice gives you a lovely citrus flavor
• Shallot – adding fine diced shallot gives you a bit of a bite without overpowering the vinaigrette like garlic would do
• Dijon Mustard – one Tablespoon of Dijon transforms this dressing into a creamy extra tangy dressing
• Mayonnaise or Greek Yogurt – replace half of the olive oil with either mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a super cream vinaigrette
• Fresh Herbs – because this vinaigrette has a sweet side I would use fresh herbs like Lemony Thyme, Tarragon, or Basil

Specialty olive oil & balsamic vinegar stores are popping up all around us. We even have vendors at our local farmers market who sell a nice variety of flavored oils & vinegars.

If you’ve never visited one of these tasting stores, I highly recommend it! And if you’re lucky the store representative will help you make some really great flavor pairings.

Blueberry Basil anyone? Orange Ginger? How about Wild Mushroom & Sage?

This white balsamic dressing is so versatile. It can take a simple bowl of mixed greens and make it the talk of the table.

White Balsamic Vinaigrette is perfect with our Fig & Walnut Arugula Salad with Chickpeas & Gorgonzola.

Whether you have a favorite Greek restaurant or a favorite Greek Island, this dressing will save you the trip!

I love how the classic Mediterranean aromatics and herbs make this dressing sing. But its the salty tangy feta cheese that’s the star. Sweet honey and the acid from the red wine vinegar are the perfect balance.

All of the ingredients go into your food processor, making this dressing quick & easy to make. I have a mini KitchenAid Food Chopper that I use almost daily. One of my most treasured kitchen appliances!

Homemade is better.

Especially homemade salad dressings. No chemicals or preservatives.

Just real good ingredients.

Garlic, shallot, lemon zest and a touch of honey infuse a base of extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Fresh basil and oregano add familiar Greek flavor. While the feta cheese adds a nice salty finish.

If you’re looking for an easy way to elevate a simple salad this feta & red wine vinaigrette is the answer! Give our Greek Salad or Mediterranean Chopped Salad a try.

To which I replied “Sounds amazing! Recipe please.”

So this Fresh Fig & Mascarpone Sweet Potato Pizza is my version of her recipe. She was 100% correct. The combination of fig, mascarpone, and honey is incredible! The sweet potato ‘pizza crust’ is like a match made in heaven!

If you’ve been keeping up with our latest recipes you’ll know I’ve developed a fondness for sweet potatoes.

In particular using sweet potato ’rounds’ in place of otherwise gluten laden ingredients, like hamburger buns, English muffins, and pizza crust!

Simply slice the sweet potato into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Roast them on a parchment lined baking sheet at 425 degrees F. for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.

Voila!

Recipe Note: this recipe can easily be made using traditional pizza crust. Bake your crust until almost done. Then remove from the oven and proceed with the following steps!

A little schmear of mascarpone on each round, topped with sliced figs.

Give your pizzas a generous drizzle of local honey.

Figs and honey are soul mates you know.

Then it’s back into the oven for 5 minutes where the magic happens.

Lastly, I knew I wanted to incorporate fresh herbs as well. So a final sprinkle of fresh rosemary or lemony thyme will add just a touch of herby love.

This is my second fig recipe in as many days. Check out Prosciutto Wrapped Mascarpone Stuffed Figs of Love!

I hope you’ll give both of these recipes a try. These little Fig & Honey Sweet Potato Pizzas make a wonderful appetizer, but I may serve them as dessert!

Sweet delicious figs, filled with a spoon of creamy mascarpone, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of chopped pecans, all wrapped in prosciutto love.

It’s the savory, salty, sweet trifecta that pleases your palate!

If you follow us on Instagram and Facebook you may have seen the fresh fig mother-load score from a few days ago.

I received an anonymous tip (not really but that sounds cool). Actually a friend, who shall rename unnamed, told me about two glorious fig trees.

They are situated on what we’ll call public property and trust me when I say they are gigantic. Each tree is loaded with at least 1000 figs.

With a step stool in hand, we took to the trees.

It was clear by the number of overripe figs that no one was harvesting the fruit. And by the number of green figs, that we shall be enjoying fig dishes for weeks to come.

I’m sworn to secrecy on the location of said trees (but they are walking distance from my house).

Score!!

With this picture of figs, I asked you what you’d like to see me make. The recipe inspiration was amazing!!

Stuffed figs, prosciutto wrapped stuffed figs, fig pizza, figs on salad, fig cookies, fig jam…

I couldn’t wait to get to started! So here we are.

Stuffed Figs

• Take each fig and cut an ‘X’ in the top about halfway down
• Put about a teaspoon of mascarpone cheese in each one
• Wrap a half piece of prosciutto around them
• Then sprinkle with a tiny bit of flaky sea salt
• Drizzle with honey
• Sprinkle with chopped nuts
• Bake at 425 degrees F. for 10 minutes
• Enjoy!

These delectable bundles of figgy love make a wonderful appetizer. The honey with the nuts on top is the perfect finish. And the prosciutto does exactly what prosciutto does best….it makes everything taste better!

It can transform a simple green salad and is the star of the show in our Asian Chicken Salad.

Asian Vinaigrette Ingredients

The ingredients are intended to be nuanced according to personal taste.

• Sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger create an unctuous flavor profile
• The acid from the rice vinegar and sweetness from honey bring balance
• Garlic delivers a slightly pungent element
• Add a little Chili Crisp Oil or sriracha if you want to spice it up a bit
• It’s fantastic on salads, grilled chicken and baked salmon

This dressing elevates even a simple Avocado & Cucumber Salad. The combo of the sesame oil and soy sauce is what pleases my tastebuds. The ginger is a bonus!

Embrace homemade dressings. It will be hard to turn back. We make a homemade vinaigrettes nearly every week. Some savory, others herby, all delicious!
