what's cooking wednesday - lord of the wings

What's not to love about the new Eat, Shrink and be Merry cookbook? There's great, better for you recipes of all your favourites plus they all have have the funniest names. I just happened to come across this one while I was wondering what to do with the chicken thighs I had in the freezer. Mike, once again was skeptical.



Lord of the Wings

12 large boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/3 cup of your favourite bbq sauce
2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp liquid honey
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp chili powder
4-5 dashes of hot sauce
1 tsp cornstarch

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Trim any visible fat from the chicken thighs. Cut each tigh in half and place cut pieces in a single layer in the prepared pan. Fold or roll them up a bit so they resemble wings. They should just fit in the pan. (3 rows of 8 "wings")

Whisk together bbq sauce, soy sauce, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, chili powder and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spoon sauce evenly over chicken.

Bake, uncovered 35 - 40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbly. Arrange chicken on platter and keep warm. Pour sauce into a small pot. Mix cornstarch with 2 tsp of water, stir into sauce. Bring to a boil and whisk until thick. Serve with "wings".

Recipe Notes: Well we all loved this dish. Well except Maya, but all she really eats is peanut butter sandwiches. This was quick and easy to put together and they actually did look a little like wings on your plate. I will definitely be making this again.

What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret. Much to Kaffy's chagrin, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday.
