Roasted Chicken Drumsticks with Potatoes, Dill, and Kale
In the era of the boneless skinless chicken breast people may have forgotten a cheap chicken cut that often is seen as just that cheap. The chicken drumstick. Who wants to deal with that skin and bone when you pay someone else to take care of it. In our household this is the most popular […]
How to Oven Roast Tender Juicy Chicken Breast
After a recent juice fast we are looking to introduce meats back into our diet. We didn’t want something that was too fatty, so we opted for chicken breast. I could have bought boneless skinless chicken for over $5 a pound or pay $1.99 a pound for bone-in chicken with the skin. A no brainer […]
Clementine Glazed Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
My kids can be picky when it comes to citrus (much like their dad). Sometimes I buy them a box of Clementines and they practically inhale the things.

Electric Skillet GARLIC Chicken
*UPDATED on 1/6/2014* I have been in this blog business now for 4 years. I look back at some of my earlier posts and just completely shake my head. Even more embarrassing when someone pins one of my awful pictures on Pinterest for the world to see (although never let poor photography stop you from […]
Roasted Chicken w/Ramps
Recently I discovered ramps at a local grocery store (Produce Station). They are also called wild leeks and can add an onion/garlic flavor to a dish. Click here to read my post on what ramps are. Ramps go excellent with chicken. Ingredients 1 whole fryer chicken (make sure to remove whatever is in the cavity, […]
