Baked Huli Huli Chicken

Is there anything so delectable as a chicken thigh cooked so that the skin is crispy? Oh, yum! I recently came across a recipe on Cooktop Cove for a delicious chicken dish using thighs that are smothered in a marinade and baked, then topped with pineapple slices. I tried this last week for the first time (on company! Par for the course!). The thighs were tender and juicy and the skin was a little crispy and delightful!

I liked the recipe because the sauce made plenty to use as a marinade and there was also still plenty for brushing on while it was cooking, and some to serve with the chicken at the table.

Baked Chicken that Makes Its Own Gravy

In the Old days women made amazing Sunday dinners that included yummy fixings like Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and white, cream gravy.  But also in the old days, everyone had to wait until 2:00 to eat dinner!  Most of us are starving when we get home from church, and if dinner isn’t on the table in thirty minutes, people at my house start snacking!  

Lucky for me, years ago I found a recipe from Carnation Evaporated Milk that is called,  Baked Chicken that Makes it own Gravy!  No need to stand and fry chicken pieces after church – this dish is baked in the oven, topped with a Cream soup mixture and baked a little longer, yielding a lovely creamy gravy – perfect for those mashed potatoes that were cooked in the crock pot!

Skillet-Roasted Chicken & Potatoes

I love watching good cooks make delicious food! It inspires me to get in the kitchen! One day I saw Ina Garten share a simple recipe on Instagram. It was Skillet-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes. It’s all done in a cast iron skillet, so there’s minimal clean-up. The roasted chicken takes on a delicious flavor from a couple simple ingredients. I couldn’t wait to try this, so I put it on my menu for that next week, and it was fabulous and simple!
