Great , great buffet with really taste food

I was blown away when we got here around noon one weekend. The place was packed. We dug in and found all the food to be very tasty. The pot roast was melt in the mouth, the fried chicken sweet and crunchy. The vegetable , and sides were excellent. Sweet potato and other vegetables has just the right spicy, sweetness and more. Basicly you come up and keep getting more and sit down. If you want a real site down place try the Peachtree buffet. For me I will take this anytime. Price is right and and it will " feed your soul"!

Island Spice Carrib

I finally found this place. Its very small and on a corner but packs some good food. The chicken wings were excellent, The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor. We have tried other dishes the last time too. Prices are most reasonable. You will find good Caribbean to eat here when you find it. For the prices you can get another entree or appetizer too!

find the Jerk (marinade) for great chicken wings

Jerk is a spice and marinade commonly used and found in the Caribbean. It can be wet or dry but which ever way it is so good. Spicy but not really hot with fruity flavors it is great for chicken, beef, fish, seafood and even vegetables. Sunny Anderson of the Food Channel posted this great recipe and I had to let you all know about it.
There are many variations of the the jerk spice rub. Many don't use Habanero but it gives this recipe a little added kick. Plus while it is a very hot pepper, it also has a fruity flavor and adds flavor. You can also read the reviews of the recipe and comments at the end too which demonstrate how good these are. I 've made wings like this and they are really good but I want to compare these. Let me know what you think.
PS If you use habanero, use gloves. If the oils get on your skin or in your eyes or on contacts (as happended to me once) you will feel the pin. Take out more heat by taking away the seeds!

Bring on the heat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These wings were the best ever. I doubled the recipe and used 4lbs of chicken wings.Their was enough sauce and for all the wings.I did bump the heat on the oven up. Instead of 350 first ,I did 375 first and then cooked them @ 400. They need to cook alot longer than 40 mins to be completely done and sticky.I cooked them for about 20 more mins.They turned out soooooo goooood. My family and friends loved them too. I also didnt use a whole habenero ,I used half per recipe.This was just enough heat for us.

Great flavor, easy prep
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is delicious - I saw it on TV yesterday and made it today. it has a lot of flavor, with a complex taste of honey, lime, soy, spices, and a good amount of heat (but not too much). I used 3 1/2 pounds of chicken thighs instead of wings, and made 1 1/2 times the amount of sauce, so that I could serve extra with the meal. I cooked it for 25 minutes in the first step, since thighs take lomger to cook through, and then for 20 minutes after I turned it over. My family loved it! I made the marinade in the morning, added the chicken thighs, and cooked it up at the end of the day. The skin was not crisp, even though I turned on the broiler for a minute or two at the end. (I don't know if it's even supposed to be crisp, but just so you know.) One note: It doesn't say this in the recipe, but on the program, Sunny Anderson said to out the chicken in with the top/skin side down, so that when you turn it over the top is facing up, and can brown.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These wings were excellent! My daughter is one of the pickiest eaters around and she absolutelly loved them. The marinade is awesome! I did not have any fennel seed and I used low sodium soy sauce, so I had to add some salt at the end of the cooking process. Next time I will either use regular soy sauce or add salt at the end as I did this time. I absolutely loved the mango avacado salad, it's very tasty and good for you. Thanks Sonny!

very good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are the best wings i have had in a long time, i saw these on sunday and i went out and got the things taht i needed and made them for my husband and i while he watched the game. They were great, the fennel seeds though, would not grind up in the food processor, so after i let the marinade sit for a while, i drained them out and then let it cook,(they do not taste good as whole seeds) i also turned the broiler on after the 40 minutes was up, i loved them so much i made them again today and i only put a 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper and a little piece of the habanero pepper(please note these wings are hot unless you reduce the heat)and today i let them start out cooking on 400 they started to brown faster then i turn the oven on broil for 15 to 20 seconds, watching them carefully, and they came out great, my daughter is a picky eater and she loved them, also i did not use 7pds of wings i only used 3. This is my favorite wing recipe!!!

This recipe is AWESOME. I made it for my family the next day after watching the episode on tv. I have two daughters who absolutely love spicy food and this definitely hit the spot. The mango and avocado salad is probably one of my favorite salads now ever!! Thank you so very much for bringing a little bit of Jamaica, as you said into our home.

delicious and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I haven't actually cooked the chicken yet, but I have made the marinade, and it's SOOOO GOOD. I keep taking little tastes of it. The only thing is that I don't think this would make enough for 7 pounds of wings. I am doing about 2 pounds of breasts (3 breasts), and I only have about half a cup left over. I'd suggest doubling the marinade recipe.

Tomato BBQ Sauces

Tomato BBQ Sauces are ones I really like. They are traditionally thick and sweet barbecue sauces. Here is more about dos and don'ts in a good article I found
http://bbq.about.com/od/barbecuesauce/a/aa020798.htm?nl=1

very good BBQ book BBQ bible sauces, rubs and marinade

There many recipes from all over the world not all original but many borrowed from other BBQ places. Find many good ones for brisket, pork, chicken , beef , ribs, fish , seafood , veggies and more. I like that there are frequently extra notes about each recipe concerning the author of the recipes and other stuff.While there is no rating scale (easy, difficult , medium, nany of the recipes are not difficult to make. Some have quite a few ingredients. Basic thai sate marinage is very good (9.6/10); balsamic drizzle (9.6/10) . I am still trying out more

Pomegranate and Mango Barbecue Sauce and chicken wings

I love Mango, pomergranate and BBQ sauces. This smashing recipe was on one of the latest Ultimate food challenges for Chicken for the Food Channel . While the women was in the top 3 out of 9, she did not win the ultimate prize of the Chicken Challenge. It still sounded so great to me. I could not wait to try it. The original recipe is below. I decided to pour the sauce first over a chicken to roast. My recipe for this BBQ bird and photos etc are also included for your pleasure, discussion, feedback and more.

Eric's Hawaiian Broiled Chicken

I tried a chicken wing recipe a few years ago (Chicken Wings by Joie Warner). Thumbing through it again I decided since I had chicken breasts and the ingredients. I would try to snaz it up as my notes did not rate it very high (she has many great ones in the book) and see if it came out that my wife would like too.
Here is my Eric's Hawaiian Broiled Chicken that I rated 9.4/10. ( you can grill it too)
Eric's Hawaiian Broiled Chicken
2 chicken breasts
0.5 cup soy sauce
.25 cup plum sauce
2 tblspn hoisin sauce
4 tblspn white vinegar
4 tblspn mild honey
3 garlic cloves minced
1.5 tspn powered ginger
1 tblspn Sesame oil
3 tblspn Ponzo Sauce ( substitute lemon juice)
2 tblspn Frank's Cayenne Pepper sauce (substitute hot sauce )

Mix all ingredients in large glass bowl.
Add chicken breasts and marinate at least 2 hours.
Preheat broiler. Broil chicken for 10 minutes and then turn down and let it heat in the oven until chicken has a temp of 160 degrees inside.
Boil the marinade. Drizzle over chicken in oven to keep moist.
Serve with rice pilaf, rice or potatoes. Drizzle over the chicken the rest of the marinade as desired.

Chicken wing challenge battle and the Famous Anchor Bar

I like Bobby Flay Throwdown show on Food Network. This week (I think originally aired in JUne but I missed it) , it was Throwdown Smackdown chicken wings. I have to hand it to them for coming up with something competitive oriented but original.
I really love when Bobby always sneaks up in a contest to challenge the person he has been checking out and their expressions (but how do these un competitors now that they now the Food Channel is doing this series- not know they are being targeted? Do they send in there stay and wait to hear never knowing when Flay will show up?).

In any case, the place was non other the Anchor Bar, in Buffalo, NY, were the recipe of Buffalo chicken wings was born years ago. The Wing King who sponsors the Chicken Wing festival (SEE NOTE BELOW) was challenged by Flay and the recipes(see below).

It was a close battle, very close but Drew Cerza, alias Wing King won ,(see the video here on the link at Youtube).

I love chicken wings! While I have been to Buffalo several times a long time ago, I never got to this restaurant. I recently tried the Mano- Habnero ones and Cajun ones at Buffalo Wild Wings at their happy hour and they were great.

I also love to make my own chicken wings from recipes that I find from the Food Channel. Also many years ago I purchased the book The Complete Book of Chicken Wings by Joie Warner (1985). I have used many of the recipes and most of them were good 8 to 9/10 on my scale.

coca cola recipes

On the travel channel, there were many recipes made with coca cola: ham, dessert, chicken and many many more . So I went looking for some of the recipes.
Here are some good ones. check them out.
Here is an easy one with coca cola and gingerwings
2 slices of ginger
12 chicken wings, just the middle section
2 tsp cooking oil
1/2 cup dark soy sauce
1 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola®

Heat a small-medium sized pot, add the oil and ginger.
When the oil is hot, brown the wings on both sides. Do this in batches if necessary.
When all the wings are browned, take out the ginger, and add the soy sauce and
Coke into the pot. Bring to a boil, then turn to medium/low-medium heat and
simmer for about 30 minutes or until meat falls of the bone easily. Taste the sauce to
see if it is needs more soy sauce. If not, turn heat back on high for a few minutes to let
the sauce thicken. Make sure the wings are covered with the Coke/soy sauce
mixture. Add more sauce according to taste. Serve.
