Simple, summer dish... grilled chicken and asparagus, boiled potatoes sauteed in butter and parsley. Along with a great beer.

Trying my hand at baked honey sriracha wings tomorrow. Question. Can I brine about 2 pounds of chicken wings for 10 hours or is that too long? I want to brine while at work and cook as soon as I get home.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Maybe another option, can I brine tonight for 2 hours or so, then refrigerate and cook tomorrow?
After some googling...i'm brining now. Going to remove from brine tonight Then let them sit in the fridge uncovered during the day tomorrow to crisp up the skin.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
So I came home to my mother in law cooking 3 cups of rice today. Nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact it's a big help to me as we eat rice with pretty much every dinner and most lunches. Leftovers are a staple in this house.
My problem lay in that she used 7 cups of water to the 3 cups of rice when I had cut out the instructions and put them in the container we use to store our rice (jasmine brown, Dynasty brand). Needless to say we had teriyaki chicken with broccoli and riceoatmeal. It was terrible.
Anyone have any overcooked rice recipes? I have a ton of this stuff I don't want to waste. So far I am thinking of making some fried rice pattys. Maybe mix in some veggies and some ground turkey. I'm also (in the same arena) thinking of using it in some meatballs. Maybe some galumpkis.
I just don't want to waste all this rice and it's just WAY too overcooked to eat plain...

No, neither. Not sure what it's called. She does the same thing with acini de pepe.
Eh maybe it's rice pudding.

I was hoping my mother in law would do this. Jasmine Brown (of this brand at least) calls for 1.5 cups of water per cup of rice.count2infinity wrote:depends on the rice, for sure. just read the instructions and follow those.
I've decided to make rice pudding with the leftovers. Never tried it before so we'll see how it goes.
On another note I tried making BBQ sauce for the first time this weekend. I like KC style over Carolina but Carolina has it's merits. I tried to do something in between. It ended up a little too sour (Carolina) for my liking but I think I can fix it. Overall it's REALLY good but I can do better. I used apple cider vinegar and rose vinegar in addition to some marsala wine. I think I would reduce the amount of cider vinegar and maybe even cut out the marsala altogether. I used brown sugar only and next time I'll add some molasses (picked up a nice jar of organic molasses on Tuesday). I used my homemade spicy brown mustard and it gave it the perfect kick.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
The package directions on most rice brands are almost entirely useless. If I had to guess I would say the rice was stirred while cooking, more than an issue with the amount of water. A 2:1 ratio of water to rice is common, more for brown rice.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
The rice was untouched. We exclusively use that brand and style. The directions on the package are perfect when you use the cold water method (rinse rice, place in cold water, heat uncovered until boiling, reduce to simmer, cover, wait for water to evaporate/abdorb, remove from heat).tifosi77 wrote:The package directions on most rice brands are almost entirely useless.

Oh no, that's not what I meant. Not dickish. It was more "I got nothin'".

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I will sometimes stir my rice for 5 seconds right about when the water is gone. It breaks up some starches and gives it a creamy texture without becoming oatmeal. Generally I prefer my rice to stay in grain form.
Rather psyched to try this rice pudding recipe tonight. I'm axing the raisins and using dates and pecans instead.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Rachel Ray recommends using 1/4 cup less than a 2:1 ratio when cooking white rice.
That's all I got.
And it seems to work for me.

I use at least 25% less water than instructed for quinoa. I like it much better that way. I believe I read an article discussing the origins of improper water measurements on quinoa cooking instructions, but I can't seem to find it.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
I use a 2:1 ratio for quinoa and it has worked well. I will try 1.75:1 and see how I like it. Does it make it more or less earthy?

They were amazing. I bet it'd be good on just about any kind of chicken

I have a 12 pack of drumsticks that I am going to cook tomorrow. I guess I now know what style they will be.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Sriracha honey is my go-to condiment to accompany fried chicken. 2:1 (Sriracha:honey) is my preferred ratio, but Mrs Tif sorta tops out at 1:3. So I have to mix to order, as it were.PensFanInDC wrote:Just googled it. Man that sounds incredible...mac5155 wrote:Honey sriracha wings were out of this world good.
