5 Hour Garlic Bar-B-Que Chicken Wings

I admit it. I am a sucker for low and slow when it comes to meat. I think it is the best way to cook and guarantee succulent tender fall off the bone moist crazy good flavour. They aren't spicy hot, more smokey sweet.

Our Garlic Chicken Wings

Get your self a parchment lined baking sheet
a large ziploc bag
large bowl
olive oil
granulated or finely minced garlic
good quality chicken wings and drumettes
extra parchment sheet and foil
mesquite bar-b-que sauce
honey

Place the chicken into the ziploc bag, drizzle with just enough oil for the wings to get a light coat, all you want is something for the garlic to stick too.

Spread the wings out onto the parchment lined baking sheet and liberally sprinkle with the garlic, the more garlic the yummier.

Place another piece of parchment over the wings, cover the entire thing with foil and pop it into an oven at 250 for 5 hours.

mix the bar-b-que sauce with the honey at 50/50, blend. When the chicken are ready -you can check at 4.5 hours, dip the wings into the sauce then replace them on the baking sheet without a cover. Place the baking sheet under the broiler to caramelize the sauce for 3-5 minutes or longer if needed.

That's it!

Baguettes with Goat Cheese

This is a recipe for appetizers that everyone really enjoys! Uber easy and so yummy it's gone way too quickly!

1- fresh baguette, thin sliced on the diagonal, toasted in the oven
1- small package of goat cheese, room temp so it's easy to spread
1- head of garlic, roasted (Cut the top 1/3 of the head off, drizzle with olive oil, place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until the garlic is golden and soft, like budda- push the garlic out of the papery head and onto a small plate, mash until smooth with a fork
dried cherries

pretty much the easiest thing you an do. Spread a little roasted garlic onto each baguette slice, top with a schmear of goat cheese, sprinkle with dried cherries, eat and fly to heaven!
