Sweet Heat Spatchcock Chicken

We have another winner! I was afraid that the chicken was going to dry out because we had to put dinner on hold for a little over an hour, but I dropped the heat to 250°F, then bumped the temp to 425°F to crisp up the skin. This is how I normally make it withContinue reading “Sweet Heat Spatchcock Chicken”

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Bubble Bread

Another night of no sleep so I decided to do some baking. Practice makes perfect, right? You can use store bought rolls if you don’t want to make them from scratch and they come out brilliantly!

Brown Sugar Spice Rubbed Chicken

I made Brown Sugar Spice Rubbed chicken for dinner with roasted root vegetables and it was amazing! I came up with this rub when I first started cooking and to this day in has never let me down.

Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Meatloaf

This is by far my favorite recipe for meatloaf. I love meatloaf with ketchup, but what about BBQ Sauce? One word. Amazing! It’s a go to for Meatloaf Night. Cheap, quick and its a great way to hide the veggies that picky kids or *cough* younger brothers *cough* refuse to eat. When you have time,Continue reading “Brown Sugar Bourbon BBQ Meatloaf”

BBQ Glazed Chicken Wings

Baking chicken wings is the BEST way to cook them! The secret to crispy skin is Baking Soda or my personal preference, Cornstarch! You’ll never know they aren’t fried! They’re much healthier and you can make 2 ½ dozen per half sheet pan. They’re a great intro to the weekend and I make these wingsContinue reading “BBQ Glazed Chicken Wings”

Brown Sugar Bourbon Barbeque Sauce

Of all the BBQ Sauce recipes I’ve made over the years, this one’s my favorite. It’s sweet, tangy, well balanced and has a little kick. It goes great on grilled pork chops, chicken wings, breasts and thighs plus shrimp. It keeps in the fridge for a couple of months, which is handy for weeknight mealsContinue reading “Brown Sugar Bourbon Barbeque Sauce”

Brown Sugar Bourbon Baked Beans

I know that baked beans don’t normally include black beans, but I like their texture and think they make an amazing addition to your typical Baked Beans! It’s a little time consuming, but you’ll save tons of money over the canned variety. It makes an excellent pot luck or cookout side dish. ½ lb driedContinue reading “Brown Sugar Bourbon Baked Beans”
