Mustard Chicken Wings. The 4th of July is probably my favorite holiday. I love fireworks and I love grilling up burgers and hot dogs. I also love tasty appetizers and these Mustard Wings really are simple but packed with flavor. You can do them in the broiler pretty quickly or at a slower temperature depending on your schedule so they really are a great way to get food out for guests without having to do a lot of work.
We have nothing to preheat or prep at the moment because you want to let the chicken marinate for a while ahead of time. You will need spicy mustard, chicken wings, hot sauce, garlic, olive oil, lemon, and some pepper. Combine everything together and add a pinch of salt if you'd like. Put the chicken in a bag with the wings and toss it in the fridge and forget about it for a while. Preheat your oven or broiler and get the chicken down on a pan. Getting delicious! These were super easy and full of flavor. Grilled Pesto Chicken and Tomato Kebabs.
These chicken kebobs just SCREAM summer, made with my skinny basil pesto and grape tomatoes. Serve this as an appetizer at your next backyard bash, or have them for dinner any night of the week with a great big salad or over pasta. We grow sooo much basil in my garden all summer long, so I make a lot of pesto and use it so many ways. This is super easy and can be made a day ahead, in fact the longer it marinates the better! Doubling the skewers helps keep everything in place while grilling, and makes them easier to turn. I love how the tomatoes taste after they are grilled, and they smell just divine when they come off the grill. These are gluten free, inexpensive, low-carb, clean and simple.

Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner, which always gets me excited, I LOVE Mexican food! While I was shopping at Target the other day, I picked up a jar of Archer Farm's Roasted Salsa Verde with no real plans on what to do with it.

Two hours later, what emerged was a delicious aroma and tender chicken.

April 6, 2009 | By Adam Roberts | 31 Comments My go-to roast chicken recipe, that one from Chez Panisse (here’s a video I made on how to make it), is such a gut bomb of fat–and fat from just the chicken itself–that any roast chicken recipe that requires the addition of more fat (butter, olive oil) usually provokes my inner Richard Simmons who bursts out in short shorts and says, “You don’t need all that fat you fat fat fatty!” Sometimes, though, you want to gild the lily and such was the case last week when it was time to make our weekly roast chicken (it’s pretty much a staple) and I was craving something new. A few days earlier, I’d flipped through the River Cottage Meat Book— —and memorized the recipe for the River Cottage Roast Chicken.
