It is Friday night and my husband loves to go to Barker's in Hudson, WI for their chicken wings. Here is a option to satisfy those cravings.
3 TBS coconut oil or butter
3 cloves garlic, pressed
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Celtic sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 chicken wings
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the butter/oil, garlic, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Rub onto the wings with your hands until well coated. Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet. Cook the wings in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until crisp and cooked through. Meanwhile, make the dressing.

I'm going through older recipes on your blog...adding these to the grocery list tonight. Can't wait to make them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricia! :)
DeleteMaria, can't wait to try this recipe. How much Truvia do you use? It's not listed in the ingredients but it is in the directions.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
Hi! Sorry, that was a typo. I updated it above. Thanks!
DeleteMaria do you have a homemade version of Mayonaise? I seem to remember a recipe from a nutritionist years ago and only remember it used egg whites and something else. The organic Spectrum Mayo is a bit pricey!
ReplyDeleteHi, I don't have my own, but all you would have to do is take a recipe like this:
Deletehttp://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/mayonnaise-recipe/index.html
and substitute sugar for Swerve, coconut vinegar for vine vinegar and use 1 cup of a good oil like olive oil or macadamia oil. :)
Is the calorie count including the cauliflower recipe or only for the bleu cheese dip?
ReplyDeleteJust the dip. Thanks! :)
Deletemaria...ive made blue cheese dressing but with buttermilk which has more carbs. ill have to try yours. i use the wonderful maytag blue from newton iowa. wonderful stuff! a trick: freeze your extra dressing in ice cube trays andd keep the cubes in a resealable plastic zip lock bag. then you can thaw just what you need. maytag blue cheese is expensive and this reduces waste. i made your shortcake recipe by the way and it was sensational. im a sixty something guy with little baking experience so its exciting for me to make something that tastes great! you are helping me control my glucose as a type 2 diabetic i have to watch it.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the ice cube trays! Thanks! :)
DeleteMaria, why are you using garlic and garlic powder? is it for a stronger taste, more of a kick?
ReplyDeleteThanks :) making those tonight but I don't have garlic powder anyway, just need to know for next time!
I liked having some chunks of garlic in there bot not too many. You can just use more garlic cloves if you like. :)
DeleteThanks!!!
DeleteAre you using chicken wings or cauliflower?
ReplyDeleteThe recipe is for chicken wings but the photo is an option you can do for buffalo cauliflower. :)
