Lemon pepper wings are a favorite flavor at our house. This recipe is full of flavor and has a perfect combination of lemon flavor and a sticky and sweet glaze!
Preheat oven to 400 F. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and set the wings on top of a cooling rack set on top of a rimmed sheet pan. Cook for 20 minutes, then brush half of the glaze (see below for recipe) on top the wings. Cook for 15 minutes, turn the wings, brush on the remaining glaze and cook for 15 more minutes. Remove from oven and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing.
This shrimp and grits recipe is a favorite in our home. Cooking the grits in water and milk is the secret to their creamy texture. The best part is that this recipe comes together in 20 minutes.
Reserve 2 teaspoons of bacon fat and then pour off the rest. Cook the garlic and the whites of the green onion in the reserved bacon fat over medium heat until fragrant and slightly softened (about 1 minute)
Add the shrimp to the frying pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through.
To serve, layer grits and the shrimp mixture then top with the crispy bacon and the remaining green onion.
Serve warm.
Pour the grits into the milk mixture and quickly whisk to avoid any clumps from forming. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally. If your grits become too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time to thin. If they’re too thin, cook for a few minutes longer.
Salt to taste.
