How To Make Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

When I was a kid, I remember loving chicken legs. While I wasn’t really picky when it came to chicken, I always preferred the leg part. I had this favorite fast food restaurant that served the best chicken. As a kid, drumstick was really the most convenient to eat and the juiciest. But now that I’m an adult, my favorite switched to thighs. Thighs are simply the best chicken parts for me. And if someone argues, I really defend them.

I love chicken breasts too, but only for some meals. While they’re the best chicken meat for diet, they tend to get dry; and that’s not what I want in my meals. Chicken thighs are still the perfect parts to go to my savory meals.

My family loves chicken thighs too, but I have to admit I rarely cook them. They’re not really the healthiest, and that’s where breasts have the advantage. Because I will always consider the health of my family.

This Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken recipe from Recipe Girl involves breasts, however, I tried thighs with this too.

It’s need only has 4 ingredients and cooks in your slow-cooker, so you can get a delicious dinner on the table with minimal effort.

Ingredients :

2 lb. (.9kg) chicken tenderloin chunks
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy sauce

Instructions :

Combine all together, cook on low in Crock-pot 6-8 hours…that’s it! Done!
Preparation: 5 min
Cook: 8 hours
Ready in: 8 hours 5 min

KFC ORIGINAL SECRET CHICKEN RECIPE

KFC Original Recipe Chicken has been a huge part of my childhood. As a kid my aunt would walk me home from school and we would stop at the KFC that was a half a block from my school. We’d share chicken and a strawberry parfait they used to sell. Unlike the Pioneer Chicken that my mom used to buy, this food memory is one I can still enjoy anytime I wanted.
So why make a copycat recipe of it if you have one a mile down the road? Well, A: Copycat recipes are a ton of fun and B: Way, way, way, way higher quality.

Have you been to a KFC in the last decade? I’ve only been a few times but was disappointed each time because the chicken pieces have shrunken… a lot. Also, and hey to each his own (I’m definitely guilty of my fair share of food sins), but KFC uses MSG in the recipe for its KFC Original Recipe Chicken. Oh, and last thing, as far as fast food goes, it tends to be pretty pricy.
So here we are all trying to decode the famous 11 herbs and spices. Everyone has theories, and according to KFC no one has EVER been right. So I have sort of watched the copycat rounds develop from a distance. Then something pretty awesome happened.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 4 tablespoons oil

For the coating

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (or chicken stock powder)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon tarragon
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Directions
Sift flour and add together all the coating ingredients and grind finely with a mortar and pestle and place in a clean plastic bag. Coat each chicken piece first with the beaten egg, then with the flour mixture in the bag. Make sure you coat each piece completely with the flour.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Brown the chicken in oil slowly, uncovered. Once browned, cover the skillet and keeping frying on a very gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked. Place on paper towels to drain out the excess

This warm and comforting recipe is best served any time of the year with your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream. Filled with the sweet flavors of vanilla, freshly ground nutmeg, plump raisins, and sugar, this recipe is the perfect way to end any meal.

ld fashioned bread pudding with vanilla sauce is an easy and simple homestead recipe to use up eggs, milk and stale bread. Comfort food at its best – breakfast, dessert, or snack! We found this recipe tucked inside my mom’s Bible when going through her things. It has become a family tradition on the first snow day of the year and if that doesn’t happen, which can be the case here in central Virginia, we know it’ll be the featured dessert at Easter and anytime a comfort food is in order.

This classic bread pudding recipe is made from just a few simple ingredients and full of homemade flavor. Top it off with a vanilla butter sauce! If you buy all of your milk and eggs from the grocery, and especially if you buy those fluffy mass-produced loaves of what my dad always called “baker’s fog”, then you might not consider any of those three frugal.

Pudding Ingredients:

•  4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread
•  1/2 cup raisins
•  2 cups milk
•  1/4 cup butter
•  1/2 cup sugar

  2. Stir in all remaining pudding ingredients. Pour into greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until set in center.
Directions for Sauce:
  1. Combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes). Stir in vanilla.

Caramel apple and cinnamon lasagna roll

Caramel Apple Cinnamon Lasagna Roll is a fun and delicious combination of classic apple caramel pie and delicious cinnamon roll. This sweet fall treat (just like the adorable Apple Crumb Cake) is a sweet treat, but it’s a great idea for an easy breakfast casserole, too.
Surely you all well know that I like to call my layered dessert creations – LASAGNA. I’ve yet to have Strawberry Jello Lasagna Baked, White Chocolate Lasagna, Caramel Pecan Lasagna, No-Bake Summer Berry Lasagna, Chocolate Lasagna, Christmas Lasagna, Key lime pie lasagna, and Pumpkin Lasagna. But these were all hearty desserts with cookie or shortbread crusts, pudding and cheesecake toppings and whipped topping.
For the Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll lasagna, I had a slightly different concept, but called it lasagna again. This is a twist on the classic apple pie. In fact, it looks like a layered apple pie.
Instead of the classic pie crust, I used a cinnamon roll. I cut each roll into a thin layer, rather than flattening it slightly and arranging it on the bottom of the baking dish. I topped it with a mixture of fresh apple cubes, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Then I drizzled caramel sauce over the apple pie filling and then topped with another layer of cinnamon rolls. However, given that this is a layered dessert, I repeat all these layers again.

Ingredients:

°2 packets of cinnamon rolls
°4 large apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
°Half a cup of sugar
°1 teaspoon cinnamon
°Half a teaspoon of nutmeg
°1 tablespoon of cornstarch
°1/2 cup caramel sauce (or salted caramel sauce if you prefer)

Methods:

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8″ x 8″ x 2″ glass or ceramic dish with nonstick spray (I used a 7″ x 9″ x 2″ ceramic dish).
In a bowl, mix apple cubes, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg to coat evenly.
Cut the cinnamon rolls into 1/2-inch strips and roll them out on a floured work surface until fluffy. Sprinkle it with flour, as it is very sticky and will fall apart when rolled. You can dust your hands with flour and tap it to loosen it up if you find it easier.
Arrange the first layer of flattened cinnamon rolls on the bottom and sides of the dish. Press them with your hands to seal them well.
Spread 1/2 apple out of the filling and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of caramel sauce on top. Cover with another layer of cinnamon rolls.
Spread the remaining apples and pour again with caramel sauce. Cover with remaining flat cinnamon rolls.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the aluminum foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes, drizzle with icing (which comes with the cinnamon rolls) and serve.

How to make Texas toast with cheese

OLD FASHIONED APPLE DUMPLINGS

“Mouthwatering Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings, Enveloped in Golden Pastry and Served with a Sweet Apple Cider Sauce”

Ingredients:

For the Dumplings:

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

2 ready-made 9-inch pie crusts

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons of butter

For the Sauce:

2 cups apple cider

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and keep it aside for now.

Divide your pie crusts into 6 even sections. Roll each one into a roughly 7-inch square or circle. You want these big enough to entirely envelop each apple. Place an apple on each dough piece, with the cored part facing up.

In a small bowl, combine your brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Evenly distribute this mixture among your apples, stuffing some into the hollow cores and scattering the rest around the base of each apple.

Slice your butter into 6 equal pieces. Put one slice into the core of each apple.

Wrap the corners of the dough around each apple, making sure to pinch the edges together securely. Your apples should now be completely encased. Place your finished dumplings into the prepared baking pan.

Let’s make that irresistible sauce. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all the sauce ingredients. Stir this mixture constantly until it reaches a low boil. After the sugar has dissolved, let it cook for an additional minute, then remove from the heat. Allow your sauce to cool for 5 minutes before evenly pouring it over your dumplings.

Pop your dumplings into your preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. They’re done when they’re gorgeously golden brown and the apples inside are tender.

Allow your dumplings to rest for 10 minutes after leaving the oven. Serve them warm, preferably with a scoop of ice cream and a generous drizzle of the extra sauce.

Extra Tips:

Storage: Keep any leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F.

The Best Apples for Dumplings: While I prefer the tartness of Granny Smith apples, you can choose any apple you love. Fuji, Honey Crisp, or Snapdragon apples are all fantastic options.

No Apple Cider?: If you can’t find apple cider, apple juice will do just fine. But keep in mind, apple cider adds a touch more depth to the flavor.

Feeling Spicy?: Try adding cinnamon candies (like red hots) to the center of your apples before wrapping them. This gives your dumplings a spicy, cinnamon-filled surprise in every bite, a fun twist on the classic recipe.

MILK BRIOCHE – Best Fluffy like cloud and super soft

Creating the ultimate Milk Brioche at home is easier than you think! This bread, with its characteristic fluffy texture and feather-like softness, can be effortlessly baked in your kitchen. So, let’s embark on a culinary journey and craft an irresistibly tender and fluffy Milk Brioche that will make your breakfast and snack time a delight.

NECESSARY INGREDIENTS:

4 Cups of all-purpose flour
2 Eggs, at room temperature
1 Cup of whole milk, warmed to around 110 degrees Fahrenheit
1/2 Cup of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 Cup of granulated sugar
2 1/4 Teaspoons of instant yeast (or one packet)
1 Teaspoon of salt

FOR THE EGG WASH:

1 Egg

1 Tablespoon of milk

STEPS FOR PREPARATION:

STEP 1:

Begin by warming your milk to around 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). In a large mixing bowl, combine the warmed milk and sugar, then stir in the yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

STEP 2:

Next, add the softened butter, eggs, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, mix these ingredients on low speed until they come together, then increase to medium speed for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

STEP 3:

Place the dough in a greased bowl, covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

STEP 4:

After the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air. Divide it into equal pieces, roll them into balls, and arrange them in a greased baking pan.

STEP 5:

Cover the dough balls again with the kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another hour until they expand and fill the pan.

STEP 6:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Prepare an egg wash by whisking together an egg and a tablespoon of milk. Brush this wash over the risen dough balls.

STEP 7:

Bake your Milk Brioche in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown. Once done, remove the brioche from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Now, you’re ready to dive into the soft, cloud-like texture of your homemade Milk Brioche. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a spoonful of your favorite jam. Happy baking!

RECIPE NOTES:

The temperature of your milk is crucial. Too hot, and it could kill the yeast; too cold, and the yeast won’t activate. Aim for around 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

If you’re new to bread-making, don’t be disheartened if your first attempt doesn’t turn out as expected. Practice makes perfect!

Brioche can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for a week. To maintain its fluffy texture, warm it up a bit before serving.
