Simple Schwarma-Inspired Chicken Recipe

February 14, 2021 By Heather Solos 6 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I had a hard time coming up with the name for this schwarma-inspired chicken dish. Why? I don’t want to be culturally appropriative as this is not at all authentic. The flavors, however, remind me of chicken schwarma I have had in the past and hope to have again someday.… Keep reading...

Crockpot Friendly Sticky Chicken Recipe

August 18, 2015 By Heather Solos 3 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says

I honestly don’t know why this recipe is called “sticky chicken”, I have the feeling it is a recipe that has evolved over the years and doesn’t exactly resemble its origins or maybe it was a family nickname. This recipe for chicken in the crockpot was a favorite on a message board I frequented a decade ago and the printed out scrap has followed me around through a few moves.… Keep reading...

Buffalo Chicken Dip

August 2, 2015 By Heather Solos Leave a Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

 Heather says:

Buffalo chicken dip is a favorite around here. It’s also ridiculously simple and worth knowing how to make in case you’re ever invited to a sportsball  potluck type event. Go team go.

I’ve had buffalo chicken on the brain recently and I was poking around Plain Chicken -a client from my day job and remembered that I’ve been meaning to make this recipe for Home Ec 101.… Keep reading...

Why Does This Drumstick Look Dark Red? Is It Safe?

July 14, 2015 By Heather Solos Leave a Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home-Ec 101,
I have a question concerning prepping chicken legs. My family LOVES chicken legs but the unsightly blood that sometimes comes along with chicken legs leaves us all a little disgusted. I’ve read about and tried the salt brine method for removing the blood but have had almost no success.… Keep reading...

How Long Should I Cook Chicken Stock?

December 9, 2014 By Heather Solos 8 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home Ec 101,

Thank you for making your lovely page about the French and Asian methods of cooking chicken stock. I have a question: If I have a long period of free time, can I cook the stock longer than four hours.… Keep reading...

Chicken Wings in the Oven

March 22, 2014 By Heather Solos 10 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home Ec 101,
I am having a dinner party and I want to have chicken wings as part of the meal. How long should I bake them for to make them taste perfectly tender?
Signed,
Winging it in Wyndham

Heather says:

Actually I have a couple of answers for you depending on how you picture your chicken wings.… Keep reading...

Garlic and Soy Chicken Thighs

January 30, 2014 By Heather Solos 15 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Garlic and Soy Chicken Thighs

Heather says:

The humble chicken thigh certainly doesn’t get as much attention as its counterpart the boneless skinless chicken breast.  In my area, boneless, skinless chicken breasts have been running in the neighborhood of $5 a pound on sale, which makes thighs much more attractive.… Keep reading...

Gluten-Free Chicken Marsala

August 12, 2013 By Heather Solos Leave a Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

Like many people, I love chicken marsala. If you’ve gone gluten free, no worries, you don’t have to leave chicken marsala behind. This version is a simple variation on the classic, all you need is brown rice flour to use in place of wheat.… Keep reading...

Balsamic Marinated Chicken Thighs

April 9, 2013 By Heather Solos 13 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

This recipe for balsamic marinated chicken is sort of a repeat. Why? Because sometimes you don’t want to cook a whole chicken and grab the super-value pack of chicken thighs or leg quarters when they go on sale. Like the garlic and soy chicken thighs, this recipe is simple, the only drawback is it’s much better with a longer marinating period.… Keep reading...

Chicken and Dumplings

November 6, 2012 By Heather Solos 2 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

This recipe for chicken and rolled dumplings is my riff on the Lee Bros version which can be found in The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook. I love their recipes and while I think their idea for sweet potato dumplings sounds intriguing, I chose to go with classic rolled dumplings.… Keep reading...

What Kind of Chicken Should I Buy?

March 19, 2012 By Heather Solos 5 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

There is an older post (and yes, I really need to retake the pictures) on How to Roast a Chicken here on Home-Ec 101. Over the weekend a commenter asked “What kind of chicken should I buy?”

To be very clear, we’re talking about different kinds of chicken for cooking, not different kinds of chickens for raising.… Keep reading...

Can I Substitute Chicken for Fish in a Recipe?

October 13, 2011 By Heather Solos 1 Comment As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home-Ec 101,

I see a lot of recipes that sound really good that call for fish–salmon, tuna, and so on. The thing is that I don’t like fish. With recipes like “Glazed Salmon,” can I substitute chicken in the recipe?… Keep reading...

Chicken Gumbo

Heather says:

It’s fall and it’s finally cool enough to switch from salads back to soups and stews and I’ve been waiting for months to make this recipe for chicken gumbo.

This recipe is a good use for those cheap leg quarters I mention from time to time.… Keep reading...

Grilled Chicken Burritos / Chimichangas

June 13, 2011 By Heather Solos 12 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heather says:

This method is probably only useful if you have a propane grill. I wouldn’t want to go through the trouble of lighting a charcoal grill just to grill these chicken burritos for a few moments. However it is well worth wandering outside to slap these on a gas grill or even inside on a *gasp* Foreman style grill.… Keep reading...
