We were having company yesterday and they are a meat and potatoes type. So I decided to cook up some baked french fries and some chicken wings. I didn't make up this recipe for baked fries but found it on
Pinterest. You can click the link to be taken to my pins in several categories. Basically if you see something you like you can pin it to a virtual board to come back to later, like the baked fries recipe. Careful this website can be addicting.
Baked fries and BBQ wings are a new favorite. For the potatoes slice them into uniform slices and soak them in salted water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry the potatoes very well (otherwise they may not brown in the oven). After the potatoes are dry brush them with some olive oil and brush bottom of pan with olive oil. Sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper and bake in a 400 F oven till they are brown about 40 minutes. They are delicious and much less olive oil needs to be used than if you had fried them. I can't wait to try sweet potato fries this way.
For the chicken wings I just used a commercial sauce,
Stubbs BBQ, which is the only one I am sure is gluten free. I poured it on half of them and the other half I used a commercial Caribbean Condiment, Pirate's Blend, which was delicious. It's put out by
Half Moon Bay Trading Company. I'll have to check out their other sauces as this one was excellent. Since we are out of propane for our gas grill, I baked the wings in the oven at 350 F for one hour. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
