Chicken Wings

I know you're probably saying "What is this?! A new blog post from Diddles & Dumplings?! This is madness!" I have been a horrible blogger and I know that. I know that and I accept that. It has been the craziest month ever and let's just say there has been a lot of eating out the past couple of weeks! I won't bore you with details, because let's face it -- they are boring details. All you need to know is that i'm back! I'm back and I bring recipes. I'm also going to be throwing together some 4th of July printables this week, since the 4th of July is right around the corner!

This recipe for chicken wings will knock your socks off. This is the perfect recipe for football games, UFC parties, or any kind of event where you have a house filled with hungry, hungry men.  It's not your traditional buffalo wing, and it's also not really a bbq wing. It's kind of in a category of it's own... delicious, sticky, honey wing. You won't be able to eat just one!

3 pounds chicken wings

Garlic Fries

Here in my town there is an awesome Brewery/Restaurant and they serve what I believe to be the best garlic fries ever! They are just loaded with garlic. I, personally, can never have too much garlic! It's absolutely one of my favorite things! I decided to create my version of their garlic fries at home, which proved to be a very easy task! They were extremely easy to make and also just as delicious!


Easy Garlic Fries Recipe:

1 bag of frozen french fries (I just use the standard fries. No steak fries, no skinny fries, just the good ol' regular french fries)
1 tablespoon oil
3 large tablespoons minced garlic (you can either use fresh or the kind from the jar. I use the kind in the jar because I can tell that's what they use at the restaurant)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt

Cook your fries according to your package directions.

While fries are cooking heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sautee for around 2 minutes.

Once the fries are done place them in a large bowl. Toss them with the garlic/oil mixture. Add parsley and toss to coat.  Sprinkle salt over and serve.
