Honey Mustard Chicken

I went to Hen House Market today and got a chicken, Duroc pork tenderloin and some beef short ribs. I asked if they had any ribs because I didn't see any.  The butcher went in the back and came out with about a three pound slab. I asked if he could cut them across the bone about a quarter inch thick. He said, "you mean like for Korean BBQ?"  I said exactly.  Charlie is going to make the BBQ and use the pork for Bahn Mi sandwiches in the next few days.  I made Honey Mustard Chicken with the breasts and crispy fried chicken with the legs, thighs and wings.  We had them with Swiss Chard and rice. I used Mozzarella and American cheeses instead of the cheddar cheeses called for in the original recipe which I made some time in the recent past and posted the recipe here previously.

Breakfast for lunch today.

Korean Teriyaki Chicken Wings

I am making something I have not done in a few years but used to make all the time. It is Korean Teriyaki Chicken Wings


I also plan to make rice and a salad.


BULGOGI FOR BEEF   OR CHICKEN WINGS

1/4 cup sesame seeds toasted
2 cups soy sauce
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
3/4 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon garlic minced
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon brown sugar

     MIx cornstarch and water; dissolve brown  sugar in water.  Add all other ingredients and simmer in pan briefly to thicken slightly.  Store, refrigerated in covered glass container until ready to use.

Cut beef into very thin slices or cut wings into sections.  Pour sauce over meat and mix until well coated.  Let stand 10-15 minutes. sauté, cook in wok or grill until done but not browned.


 Bake chicken wings @ 305º 45- 60 minutes.  Cover with foil if they begin to brown too much.  May also use covered grill and cook with indirect heat. 

Smoked sausage and ribs

Cassie and her sister were planning to spend the day with their brother whom they had never met before yesterday.  He flew in from NY for the weekend.  So I was just planning to cook for Charlie and myself. I got a slab of Duroc baby backs and 4 pineapple brautwurst sausages to smoke outside in the smoker.  Cassie and all were there when I got back from the store and when they saw what I was making, Cassie's sister said she was going to be here for dinner too.  Then they left to do something for a couple of hours.. I ran to the store and got another slab and some more brats.  The other store had what they called St. Louis ribs but they were not fully trimmed and did not have nearly as much meat on them but that was OK because I needed them to cook as quick as the baby backs.  Everything came out pretty good, I think.
