This is a delicious recipe, almost restaurant-quality. It is also VERY messy when cooking. The frying takes a long time, so be prepared. It didn't help that I was making a double recipe. And you're going to get burned. These suckers pop when cooking. If you want to break it up, cut the chicken up … Continue reading Sesame Chicken

Dipping Sauces

But at the end, when you throw the mounds of basil in, the whole thing comes together and the … Continue reading Thai Basil Chicken Bowls
Fajita Marinade
We cook skirt steak a lot. And grill chicken. And pork. And I have one marinade that I use quite a bit. I got it from my buddy Fran, and he learned it while working at Pappasito's in Houston back in the 90's. It's dead simple and makes for a really good taste on any … Continue reading Fajita Marinade
