Local grocery store sells 5 lb bags of pre-made wings with some sort of seasonings on them. They are very cheap(cost wise)..I believe I spent $17. I figured I'd grab a bag and have 6 or so once in a while rather than grubhub an order!!
Anyway, I airfry them to warm them through, but...I am not liking them as much as I hoped(I love wings!)
I'm not a fan of BBQ sauce or ranch. Any ideas to make them tastier?? Usually put oyster sauce as a side..but looking for other options.
(If this is not the right place to ask, please send me to the correct sub! Thanks!)
Not much of a hack, but-
Always do the above with my jalapeno dogs with fine chopped green onions and mayo. I substituted honey mustard and Kraft Catalina dressing...I like it better. Surprised the heck out of me. The sweet just went so nice with the hot.
Hey guys,
New girlfriend is severely allergic to garlic (it gives her bad migraines - life can be cruel at times...), problem is that I love garlic and use a lot in my cooking.
Anyone got any tips for adding garlic flavour on the plate so I can cook without it but still get my fix?
Thank you š
I cook chicken by putting washed chicken in the sauted onion, tomato and masala and cook in cooker. The chicken breast (white meat) part feels stringy ( overcooked) and chicken thigh or in-bone (dark meat/ feels nice soft. I read that the cooking time for chicken breast and thigh are different ( breast being less). Is that the reason? But how to solve the issue? Pressure cooker is easy and more healthy (specially during times of bird flu) option to cook. Even cooking in a single pan, it's the same. Or biryani! What is the way out or hack or tip?
Hi! Anyone willing to share those ābroke studentā recipes which are actually not bad?
Iāve very limited food options currently and what my family makes is horrible unseasoned 2 ingredient stuff. Which I canāt stand.
Can use only cheese,butter,vegetable oil,some pasta,chicken bones,flour,ketchup,salt and bread atm.
Tred to make a bechamel sauce but all I seemed to make was warm milk with a dough in. I was whisking for ages but it never mixed together when I added the milk. Any idea what went wrong
I have some air-dried tomatoes I dont want to waste. Any simple dishes that I could use the tomatoes with?
IK freezing is technically not a hack and everyone knows that freezing increases life. I put cottage cheese (Sealed) in the freezer. It was made on 10th Dec and had 1 month life. People say that it lasts 3-4 months in the freezer. But I cannot have frozen cottage cheese. Can I now put it in the fridge and start consuming it? How do I get it out of the container. Hella confused.
Crush 2-3 oreos with a fork or spoon inside a mug, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk, microwave it for 2 mins. Thank me later.
Ever have cake mix. But none of the needed ingredients? ( like 6 eggs and a gallon of Castrol oil?) Well if not, you're in luck. One 12 oz can of soda added to 1 Regular box of cake mix ( both can be of yout choosing) makes the perfect cake. Rises no problem and stays super moist.. it's vegan, you can eat the batter and the combination possibilities are endless. Don't mind my baking skills.. (Pro tip, for best results pour soda slowly, to keep gasses in batter.)
Hey everyone, I recently bought some rice cakes (attached picture) and I have been eating them as is, which is honestly not that bad, but super plain.
Iām going to try with cream cheese and cucumber.
But I'm looking for more ideas on how to prepare them in savory ways. Iām not really a fan of the sweet version (I donāt have much of a sweet tooth). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm in the U.S. is stardust cans and making your own then putting it in a ninja the only options? I just had a bunch of really good ones in Iceland and am trying to figure it out.
I mentioned at work that I needed some lemons, but wouldnāt be able to make it to the store in time. Next thing I know four different people dropped off bags of lemons, and I now have over 60 of them. How do I preserve them???I know I can great and freeze the rind, but what are some other options?
Hey! Unsure whether this is a good place to pop it.
I'm sure many have heard of the '2 ingredient' pizza dough (greek yog & flour)
Just wondering if anyone knows any other recipes using 2, 3, 4 ingredients to make other stuff.. if they are high protein even better āŗļø ty
I've seen so many videos on YouTube of people adding frozen fruit (specifically blueberries) to their yogurt bowls. I'm curious why someone would do this? Wouldn't you just have hard bites of fruit? What is the rationale behind this?
I have started cooking recently and need to good recipes around the world to start with I would most likely swap a few ingredients with local produce, but no harm in trying right ? Ill share the results as well.
We want to stock up on dark chocolate almonds as a relatively healthy snack, but they're either super expensive or not dark enough. Looking for 70% cocoa or more.
Any sources for getting these in bulk at a good price?
Or any recipes for a homemade version that you've tried and liked?
Thanks!

I've recently been following some content creators who make high-protein low-calorie sweet snacks, but a lot of them use peanut butter, and I unfortunately don't like peanuts.
Are there any good replacements I could make, preferably while still keeping the food at a similar level of healthy?
UPDATE: I just bought some almond butter, and it works just fine. I donāt typically like nuts, but Iāve grown somewhat of a tolerance to almonds. Thanks for your suggestions!
I'm sure we've all been there, we buy a nice loaf of sliced bread, we take it home and freeze it to make it last, only to try and pull it out and find the slices stuck together in a frustrating block that ends with a sacrificial slice broken in trying to separate it. Even worse when it's artisan bread from a bakery with no preservatives, because that destroys the beautiful texture, because the moisture has gone out of the bread.
I have figured out that if you put a piece of parchment paper in between the slices before freezing, the bread slices don't stick and the texture is preserved. Tried it out on some sourdough I got from my local bakery and worked like a charm. You could probably use waxed paper too, would not recommend foil or plastic wrap. Hope this helps
Girlfriend and I are craving chili dogs but I don't have the time to make a batch of chili.
What's your go to canned chili and what are some methods to church it up and make it appetizing for chili dogs? I haven't had canned chili in maybe 30 years, not since I was around 5. I'm a little scared and want the experts advice.
Edit: I can't believe most of you have never heard that expression before lol
Buy a box of hot coco, make it before a busy day before bed, then put it in a refrigerator for over night. When you wake up it'll be there, I recommend putting in 2 packs of hot chocolate, it adds more flavor! You can make more with the box of hot coco you bought! You can also make banana nut bread with 2 bananas and it taste so good, just look it up!
I usually scamble a couple of eggs or just some oatmeal with some fruits. I was thinking of preping some burittos and storing them in the freezer so I can take one out when I don't want to cook something.
Title says it all: I want to break my breakfast habit that I've become exceedingly stuck in but every morning I'm too lazy to actually build a whole breakfast (autism and adhd is fun yall). So I default to a piece of in-season fruit (oranges currently!) and a slice of bread with some nut butter or chocolate spread. Sometimes I swap the bread with eggs but then the bread becomes my lunch. I've done oatmeal for a while too but I also grew kinda bored of that. Plus it always took me at least 30 minutes to make and another 15 minutes to eat. It's currently my top 1 option to try but the prep time makes me avoid it.
One caveat is that I eat mostly plant-based with the exception of eggs (and sometimes cheese but price and shelf life still makes me avoid it when I'm on my own). So nothing milk-based or meat-based.
Hi I have gaind a lot of wight lately cuz of snaking literally all through the day A lot of people says dont keep snakes at the house but my problem is not eating home but eating at work i work as a line cook and food is around me 24/7 i do bring my prep meals and count my calories but at the end of the day when i plug all what i ate as a snack in my fitness pal ā¦.
