Oven-Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a mess to make. After watching an episode of the Barefoot Contessa, I decided to try it. It’s called Oven Fried Chicken, which you fry in the beginning and then finish it in the oven. It’s not nearly as messy as the full fried version. It's crispy and moist and goes really well with mashed potatoes.

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu

Toasted Barley, Green Bean, and Shiitake Salad with Tofu is a delicious salad, though I will admit a bit time consuming. Pressing all the liquid out of the tofu, then marinating and roasting it, makes this dish so flavorful.

Baked Chicken Wings 2 Ways

Chicken Wings 2 Ways is a great appetizer for any party. Traditional chicken wings are pretty spicy. I added a non-spicy version. You can divide the recipe in half and make both to satisfy everyone. The key to crispy chicken wings is boiling them first. These seem counter-intuitive, but it works. Make sure you pat them dry before roasting. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
