Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Barbecue Chicken Pizza Roll

Description

It’s Super Bowl time, and what is better than snack foods for watching the big game!  Since Russ and I live in Missouri, and I was raised to support our state teams (and Russ gladly joined in cheering them on), I went on the hunt for a Kansas City based recipe.  And KC is known for their BBQ!

Ingredients

1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza crust

1 cup barbecue sauce, divided

1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 green onion, chopped

1 cup “pizza style” shredded mozzarella and provolone cheeses

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Unroll pizza dough onto lightly floured surface; press to form 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Brush 1/2 cup barbecue sauce onto crust to within 1 inch of edges; top with chicken, onions and cheese. Starting at one long side, roll up to form log; pinch edges together to seal. Place, seam side down, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Ingredients

1 ounce gin

1 ounce vodka

1 tablespoon lime juice

4 ounces lemon-lime soda

Lime wheel, for garnish

Directions

Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice. Add gin, vodka and lime juice. Top with lemon-lime soda. Garnish with lime wheel.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Sazerac 6-Year Rye Whiskey

Description

Sazerac Rye is distilled and bottled by the Buffalo Trace Distillery. This 6-year-old release is often referred to as “Baby Saz” due to being much younger than it’s Sazerac 18 counterpart. Baby Saz is a low-rye whiskey with a mashbill that barely makes it eligible for the straight rye designation which makes it a bit more floral and sweeter than higher rye whiskies.

Details

Mashbill: 51% Rye, 39% Corn, 10% Malted Barley

Proof: 45% (90 Proof)

Region: Frankfort, Kentucky, United States

Color: Honey gold

Nose: Spiced apple cider, clove, nutmeg, sweet corn, hint of tobacco

Taste: Cinnamon, clove, pepper, honey, mint, sugared corn flakes

Finish: Short to medium with soft spices and woody notes

Price: $20-40 (750 ml)

Rating: 91

Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken

Description

Who doesn’t like a quick and easy Bourbon Chicken?  Make it even easier by using your slow cooker!

Ingredients (Chicken)

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup sliced green onions (or more to taste)

Ingredients (Sauce)

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes

1/3 cup apple juice

1 1/2 tablespoons honey

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup Bourbon

1/4 cup soy sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken in slow cooker, pour sauce over top. Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours or on high 3 hours. Remove chicken and chop into bite sized pieces and cover to keep warm. Meanwhile, combine 3 tablespoons water with cornstarch. Turn slow cooker up to high. Whisk cornstarch slurry into the sauce. Cover and allow to thicken, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Stir chicken back into the sauce and add in green onions. Serve over rice. Note: This recipe is best made with regular (not light) soy sauce. The sauce can also be thickened on the stove top. Create the slurry as above and whisk over medium heat until thickened. Return to slow cooker with chicken and stir in green onions.

Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

Lemonade Rum Punch

Ingredients

4 oz. lemonade

2 oz. pineapple juice

2 oz. coconut rum

1 oz. dark rum

Directions

Pour lemonade, pineapple juice and coconut rum into large glass filled with ice, using a spoon to gently stir the drink. (Or pour into a cocktail shaker, shake and pour into a glass filled with ice.) Top glass with the dark rum, so it floats on top and slowly blends into the rest of the drink, giving it an ombré effect. Serve.
