Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Bourbon-glazed chicken

    • kbrooks on September 22, 2024

      I was a bit skeptical about this glaze as it tasted kind of blah when I made it. However, basted on the chicken thighs and roasted, it blossomed into a really tasty sauce and the chicken stayed nice and moist. Guess all it needed was to unite with some chicken fat and juices. Will make again.

      Planned on making this for dinner only to discover that I was out of Bourbon. Used brandy instead which worked fine.

  • Nashville hot chicken

    • Biofemme79 on November 24, 2025

      Used 6 oz franks in lieu of cayenne/ghost, no additional salt; used on frozen vegan chicken burger

  • Southern chicken salad with pecans

    • kbrooks on May 07, 2025

      Excellent basic chicken salad that lets the chicken shine. I poached chicken breast's. Increased the pecans to 1/2 cup. Added some sliced green onions. Grapes aren't quite in season yet at our farmers market so I substituted some dried cranberries.

  • Southern green beans with bacon

    • kbrooks on January 12, 2026

      Easy peasy. No need to boil or steam the beans first. Very tasty!
