Chinese Chicken Legs

Yet another wings recipe while on our chicken wings kick. These are saucy and sweet, with a tad bit of spice. They're messy to eat, super tender and exactly how wings should be. Very easy to prepare with minimal effort. The original recipe is from WW Simply Delicious and the only change I made was to use wings instead of drumsticks.

Ingredients

• 8 scallions, coarsely chopped
• 1/3 cup prepared barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon chili paste or hot pepper sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 1/4 pounds chicken wings
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil.

2. Combine scallions, bbq sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sugar, ginger, chili paste, and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss until well coated.

3. Place the chicken on the baking pan. Spoon any remaining sauce over the chicken. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue baking until the chicken is browned and cooked through and the sauce is thickened, about 20 minutes longer. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Old Bay Wings & Greek Feta Pilaf

For some reason, we've been on a chicken wings kick lately. No idea why, but in the past week, we've tried 3 or 4 different recipes. Tonight, we did Old Bay Wings, but instead of doing them in the oven, I used the slow cooker. MUCH better. Seriously, these were so tender and juicy and delicious. My oven baked ones were good, but these were a lot tastier. I also made a Greek Feta Pilaf (from WW Simply Delicious) to go with them. Not sure what's so Greek about it, other than the Feta cheese and a dash of dill. Either way, it was damn tasty and a really simple meal to prepare.

Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 small red/yellow/orange pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped dill
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute until softened, 305 minutes. Add the rice and saute until coated with oil, about 1 minute. Add the broth, salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

2. Fluff with a fork and stir in the cheese, dill and lemon zest; cover and let stand 5 minutes.

Old Bay Wings

This is quite possibly the easiest dish I've ever made! With only 2 ingredients and no fuss baking method, these are definitely a keeper. Juicy wings, spicy, and simple!

The original recipe came from a few girls on The Nest -- they all make it in a crock pot, but my crock pot isn't large enough, so I cooked them in the oven with a water bath and they came out perfectly. If you use a crock pot, place the wings in there on low for 5 hours. No need to add water or any liquid, just place the seasoned wings in the crock pot and turn it on!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup old bay seasoning

Directions

1. Place old bay in a large plastic bag. Add the wings, 2-3 at a time, and shake to coat.

2. Place in the crockpot, with no additional liquid, for about 8 hours on low.
