Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joint (about 16 wings)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Celery sticks and carrot sticks, for dipping
• Blue cheese dressing, for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

Prep the Wings:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat.
3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.

Bake the Wings:

1. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.

Make the Sauce:

1. While the wings are baking, in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, honey (if using), brown sugar (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toss and Serve:

1. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
2. Serve immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dressing (if using).

Tips:

• For extra crispy wings, bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes after tossing them in the sauce.
• If you don’t have hot sauce, you can substitute with your favorite BBQ sauce or a mixture of ketchup and red pepper flakes.
• Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired spice level.
• Serve the wings with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
• For a healthier alternative, bake the wings instead of frying them. You can also use an air fryer for even crispier results.

With these simple tips and tricks, you’re sure to make the best buffalo chicken wings for your Super Bowl party. So grab your favorite team jersey, settle in for the game, and enjoy these delicious wings!

Pernil is a staple dish in Puerto Rican cuisine, and for good reason. This slow-roasted pork shoulder is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a deeply flavorful and crispy skin. It’s the perfect dish for a special occasion or a casual family dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 (7-8 pound) bone-in pork shoulder
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons adobo seasoning
• 1 tablespoon sazón con culantro y achiote seasoning
• 12 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
• 1 onion, halved
• 1 green bell pepper, halved
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 sprig fresh oregano
• 1/2 cup water (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Pork:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder, but leave some of the fat cap for flavor.
3. Using a sharp knife, make deep slits all over the pork shoulder.
4. Rub the olive oil, adobo seasoning, and sazón seasoning all over the pork, making sure to get it into all the nooks and crannies.
5. Stuff the garlic cloves into the slits in the pork.
6. Marinate (Optional):

1. For even more flavor, you can marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. Place the pork in a large dish or bag, add the marinade ingredients, and toss to coat.
2. Roast the Pernil:

1. Place the pork shoulder, fat side up, in a roasting pan.
2. Add the onion, bell pepper, bay leaves, and oregano to the pan.
3. Pour in the water, if using (this helps create steam and prevent the pork from drying out).
4. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
5. Roast for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is very tender and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).
6. Remove the foil and roast for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
7. Rest and Serve:

1. Let the pernil rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding.
2. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
3. Serve the pernil with your favorite sides, such as arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), ensalada de coditos (macaroni salad), and fried plantains.

Tips:

• Use a good quality pork shoulder for the best results.
• Don’t be afraid to use a generous amount of seasoning.
• Marinating the pork is optional, but it will add extra flavor.
• If the skin isn’t crisping up, you can increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
• Let the pernil rest before shredding so the juices can redistribute and the meat stays tender.

Additional Notes:

• Pernil is traditionally cooked in a “pilon,” which is a large, cast-iron pot. However, you can use a roasting pan or Dutch oven just fine.
• If you don’t have adobo seasoning, you can make your own with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and cumin.
• Pernil leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Puerto Rican Pernil! It’s sure to become a family favorite.

Here are some other variations of Pernil:

• Cuban Lechón: Similar to Pernil, but often uses citrus juice in the marinade.
• Dominican Puerco Asado: Similar to Pernil, but uses a different blend of spices.
• Mexican Carnitas: Shredded pork that is simmered in lard or oil until tender.

No matter how you make it, slow-roasted pork is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion.

Chimichurri is a vibrant green sauce that is the lifeblood of Argentinian cuisine. This flavorful condiment is traditionally made with parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. It is typically served alongside grilled meats, such as steak, but it can also be used on chicken, fish, or vegetables.

Making chimichurri is simple, but there are a few key steps to ensure that your sauce is flavorful and authentic. First, you need to use fresh herbs. The parsley and oregano should be bright green and fragrant. Second, don’t be afraid to use garlic! Chimichurri should have a pronounced garlic flavor. Finally, let the flavors meld before serving. The longer the chimichurri sits, the better the flavors will develop.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, combine the parsley, oregano, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
2. Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are finely chopped, but not pureed.
3. Taste the chimichurri and adjust the seasonings as needed.
4. Let the chimichurri sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors will develop and mellow over time.

Tips:

• If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but the flavor will not be as bright.
• You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your taste.
• Chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Making the Steak:

The perfect steak for chimichurri is a well-marbled cut, such as skirt steak, flank steak, or ribeye. The marbling will help to keep the steak moist and flavorful as it cooks.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound skirt steak, flank steak, or ribeye
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Grill the steak to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
5. Serve the steak with chimichurri sauce on the side.

Tips:

• Don’t overcook the steak! It will be tough and dry if it is cooked past medium-rare.
• Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
• Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.

Additional Tips:

• If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the steak in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• You can also marinate the steak in the chimichurri sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before grilling. This will add even more flavor to the steak.
• Chimichurri is a versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. Try it on chicken, fish, vegetables, or even eggs!

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Argentinian Chimichurri Steak Perfection! With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this dish is sure to become a new favorite.

Tacos al Pastor, meaning “shepherd’s style tacos,” are a beloved Mexican dish that tantalizes taste buds with its unique blend of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. This recipe, while not requiring the traditional trompo (spinning marinated pork cone), delivers an authentic experience right in your home kitchen. So, grab your sombrero and get ready to fiesta!

Ingredients:

• For the marinade:
  • 4 guajillo chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 ancho chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 2 pasilla chilies, stemmed and seeded
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 small white onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon achiote paste
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
• For the tacos:
  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 16 corn tortillas, warmed
  • Chopped white onion, cilantro, and lime wedges, for garnish
  • Salsa verde or your favorite salsa, for serving

Instructions:

1. Start with the marinade: In a saucepan, toast the chilies over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to burn them! Transfer to a bowl and cover with hot water for 15 minutes.

1. While the chilies are soaking, blend the garlic and onion in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the softened chilies, achiote paste, cumin, oregano, pepper, vinegar, orange juice, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and salt. Blend until smooth.

1. Place the pork cubes in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the pork cubes and pineapple chunks onto skewers, alternating them for a visually appealing presentation.

1. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the pork is cooked through and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Brush occasionally with any remaining marinade.
2. Assemble your tacos! Warm the tortillas and fill them with cooked pork, pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and salsa verde to taste.

Tips:

• For a smoky flavor, use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of some of the dried chilies.
• If you don’t have achiote paste, you can substitute with paprika or annatto powder.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160°F for safety.
• Get creative with your toppings! Try guacamole, pico de gallo, or pickled onions for added flavor and texture.
• Leftover marinated pork can be used for burritos, quesadillas, or even nachos.

Additional notes:

• This recipe is a simplified version of the traditional Tacos al Pastor, which is typically cooked on a trompo (spinning marinated pork cone). While the trompo method adds a unique smoky flavor, this recipe still delivers a delicious and authentic experience.
• Feel free to adjust the spice level of the marinade to your preference. You can add more or less chilies, or use milder varieties like poblano peppers.
• Tacos al Pastor are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Classic Mexican Tacos al Pastor! Let me know if you have any questions.

Sizzling Chorizo Paella: A Spanish Delight

Paella is a beloved Spanish dish that originated in Valencia. It’s a one-pan wonder that’s perfect for feeding a crowd. This recipe features sizzling chorizo sausage, which adds a touch of smoky spice to the traditional paella flavors.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup bomba rice (or Arborio rice)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon saffron
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large paella pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.

1. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

1. Stir in the rice and cook for 1 minute.

1. Add the chicken broth, smoked paprika, saffron, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

1. After 15 minutes, stir in the chicken and peas. Cover and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the chicken is tender.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley.

Tips:

• Use bomba rice if you can find it, as it is the traditional rice used for paella. If you can’t find bomba rice, Arborio rice is a good substitute.
• Be sure not to overcook the rice. It should be slightly al dente, with a little bite to it.
• If you don’t have saffron, you can use turmeric instead. However, saffron is what gives paella its distinctive flavor.
• For a smoky flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
• Serve paella with a side of crusty bread and a glass of Spanish wine.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Sizzling Chorizo Paella!

Additional notes:

• This recipe is for a basic chorizo paella. You can add other ingredients to your liking, such as seafood, vegetables, or different types of sausage.
• Paella is traditionally cooked outdoors over a campfire. However, you can easily make it at home on your stovetop.
• If you don’t have a paella pan, you can use a large Dutch oven or even a wide skillet.
• Paella is best served immediately after it is cooked. However, it can also be reheated in the oven or microwave.

I hope this article has given you a taste of the deliciousness that is Sizzling Chorizo Paella. So why not give it a try at home? You won’t be disappointed!
