Ingredients
  • 3 lbs chicken drumsticks
  • 4 cups canola oil (sunflower oil)
  • 1 cup corn starch
  • Chicken coating
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 5 cloves minced garlic
  • Sauce
  • 5 small dried chili peppers
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (GF Tamari)
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Place chicken in a large bowl. Add all the ingredients listed under chicken coating and mix well. Coat chicken with corn starch by rolling each drum stick in a bowl of cornstarch.
  2. Add 4 cups canola oil to a pot, and heat on medium high heat for about 8 minutes -- until a wing dipped in it bubbles.
  3. Add all the wings to the pot and let cook for 15 minutes, turning with tongs so each side gets fried.
  4. Remove wings to a colander, and let cool a few minutes. Add wings back to the oil and continue cooking for another 15 min. This is double frying and makes the chicken extra crispy. You should hear a "scratch scratch" sound when you grab the chicken with tongs, letting you know the chicken is fully crispy. Remove and set on paper towels.
  5. Prepare sauce by adding all sauce ingredients to a non-stick pot and cooking till bubbly.
  6. Add chicken to sauce and toss with spatula till well coated.
  7. Serve warm.

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
