  • Announcing June's Cooking Club Pick: Matt Dunigan's Honey Mustard Chicken Drumsticks

    With 99 votes, Matt D's Honey Mustard Chicken Drumsticks have won your grilling hearts. I have to be honest, I didn't think Matt would win, but those drumsticks do look sweet, tangy and all around tempting. I do like the short list of ingredients - keeps it cheap and I think everyone will have the majority of them... Alley_bee notice the honey?! And I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeves while making this one. I have a feeling there will be a creative explosion towards enhancing the flavours. I on the other hand, will follow it to a 'T' and I'll have you know that there is nothing wrong with that! But I do hope that all of you adventurous and experienced cooks have a go with this one. *P.S. This recipe calls for a 4 hour marinade - so try not to leave it to the last minute.

Honey Mustard Chicken Drumsticks: Ingredients: 12 chicken drumsticks with the skin on 1/2 cup liquid honey 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 2 teaspoons chopped garlic Juice and zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Oil for brushing Directions: In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Reserve ¼ cup (60ml) for basting later. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place rinsed chicken in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag and toss to ensure the legs are evenly coated with the marinade. Marinate 4 hours in the refrigerator. Once chicken has marinated, prepare barbeque for indirect medium heat (350°F) (175°C) leaving one side on and one side off. Oil the grill to prevent sticking. Place chicken on the grill over the side with no heat (indirect medium heat). Turn chicken every 3-4 minutes, brushing with the reserved marinade. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes or until...

  • March Cooking Club Results: Michael Smith's Jerk Chicken

    (Gorgeous pieces of jerk chicken cooked up by Katherine Silcock) You tried it and you loved it! I don’t think Michael Smith can create a bad recipe, at least not according to you, our lovely CCC participants. Though I haven’t made this recipe, sigh, I know and as my punishment I just took away the cookie I was about to eat (well I tried to, but the cookie won!) I will do my best to participate in the next challenge. Aside from my non-cooking/snacking behaviour, many of you did attempt Michael Smith’s Jerk Chicken . I noticed some participants were initially skeptical and others upset, as the recipe lacked a few authentic spices and flavours that bring life to what is known as jerk chicken. However, many changed their tune after tasting his version of the dish. With that, I am happy to report that you all had very positive responses to share. For example, Mardi M.'s (pictured left) hubby noted that this chicken wasn't "real jerk" because they didn't have chipotle peppers on hand. However, as you can tell from her photo, it still worked out! Mardi said that the chicken had spice and bite while being extremely flavourful and moist. As for Wendy M. (pictured right) well, this was her first experience with the Cooking Club Challenge, and I think we've got a keeper! So glad to have you join us, and I'm so happy to hear you had amazing results. Moist, juicy, flavourful, easy and fun to do - words that are music to our ears! And here is the showcase of all of your hard work! Bon Appetit! Be sure to look through the photo gallery to see who's going to receive a cookbook for this month.

  • March's Cooking Club Challenge Mid-Month Round Up

    March is Getaway Month , with this in mind we wanted you all to cook up a (Canadian version) of Jamaican Jerk Chicken for March's Cooking Club Challenge . You know, so you could dream that you were off having that island experience, in the comfort of your own home! Well, a couple of you took delight in cooking up this flavourful meal and this is what came of it... . Thanks Stephanie H . who renamed the dish "no-jerk chicken" because her sweetheart boyfriend voluntarily picked up the slack around the house! She marinated, grilled and ate the juicy chicken, which she noted as a keeper. Thanks Laura V . who has fallen for lime! She loved the mix of allspice with lime as the chicken was "so nice and warm without being spicy." Laura's chicken was moist and tangy and will become a regular meal in her home. If these two pictures and experiences don't inspire you to cook up this wonderful meal, I don't know what will! So try something new and embrace amazing food that you can create in the comfort of your own kitchen. ......................................

Share tips and opinions immediately with fellow challengers. ...................................... Michael Smith’s Jerk Chicken with Brown Rice Yield: 4 This is my version of one of the tastiest ways ever invented to flavour grilled chicken; a jerk marinade. The marinade is essentially highly seasoned pureed raw onion, and, of course, the longer the chicken sits in it, the better it will taste. Try overnight! You don’t have to use a chipotle pepper but I prefer its smoky flavour and medium heat to traditional fiery hot habenero peppers. INGREDIENTS Chicken 2 tablespoons of ground allspice 1 dried chipotle pepper 2 bunches of green onions, roughly chopped 4 limes, juiced and zested 1/4 cup of molasses or honey 1/2 cup of olive oil or vegetable oil Salt 1 Pound chicken, cut into 4 pieces (2 breasts and 2 legs) Rice 1/2 stick of butter 1 cup of brown rice 2 cups of chicken stock or water salt and pepper DIRECTIONS Chicken Place allspice, chipotle pepper, green onions, limejuice and zest, molasses, olive oil and salt into a blender and puree until a smooth paste forms. Scrape it into a...
  • Which Recipe Do You Want to Make for February's Cooking Club Challenge?

    It’s time to pick next month’s Cooking Club Challenge recipe. This year, Chinese New Year happens to fall on Valentine’s Day, so as Suziethefoodie and AvaDJ suggested in our forum , I’m offering up a Chinese dish AND a dessert recipe for you to vote on. (If you’re feeling ambitious, you could even do both!). And as Sally from Surrey suggested, I tried to pick recipes that are healthy-ish in an attempt to help us keep our New Year’s resolutions. So here are the two recipes: To commemorate Chinese New Year , I picked Shrimp Stir-Fry with Fried Egg and Flavoured Vinegar from Everyday Exotic with Roger Mooking . And in honour of Valentine’s Day , Shokolate Cheesecake from Eat, Shrink and Be Merry . The recipe uses cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream to lower the fat content. So there you have it folks.
