Chinese Take Out?

Nope. Today I made broccoli stir fry. It was so good and while I was cooking this my dad was making fried rice. My mom was across the street with the neighbors and when she came back she saw it on the table and said, "Chinese take out?" I started laughing because I think she would have seen us leave the house to pick it up, but it's cool that we fooled her!


Yesterday I had a small going away party and I decided to make ice cream with caramel. This is what I had for dessert after eating the stir fry. I don't know what I did wrong, but when I was making the ice cream it was lumpy and looked like cottage cheese, so when I ate it today there's like frozen balls that I could chew. It's still good though!

Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Today I made some garlic parmesan chicken and I will share with you a step by step process on how to make these delicious treat! I am not a cook book, I am a cook so I will not have measurements. Eye ball it and make it your own recipe! Don't be shady with the seasoning too!

Here is what you need: (again, you are the chef so you don't have to use these exact seasonings)
  1. Chicken wings
  2. Parmesan cheese
  3. Butter
  4. Garlic or garlic salt
  5. Salt
  6. Cumin
  7. Pepper
  8. Onion powder
  9. Oregano 
Ignore the wine and knifes, you don't need that


Take your chicken wings and season it with salt and cumin 

*IF YOU HAVE A DEEP FRYER - USE IT!!!
Deep fry your chicken for a total of 15-20 minutes on high and for the first 5 minutes, cook with the cover on. Then take them out and drain them. If you have another batch repeat.


Put the first batch back in the pot to get it extra crispy for another 15-20 minutes. And again with the second batch. (If only I had a deep fryer!)


 In a bowl, melt some butter (enough to cover all your wings) and add your seasonings. In this case, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder and stir.


Pour the seasoned butter all over the chicken and mix well.


Last but not least, add the parmesan cheese and toss.

And there you have it! Enjoy your creation of garlic parmesan chicken!
