Mean Chef's Turkey Gravy

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• pan dripping, from roast turkey
• 3 1/2 cups homemade turkey broth or 3 1/2 cups use canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• fresh ground black pepper
• salt

Recipe

• 1 when the turkey is done, transfer it to a serving platter to rest and set aside.
• 2 pour the pan drippings into a 1-quart glass measure, medium bowl, or gravy separator.
• 3 leave any browned bits in the bottom of the roasting pan.
• 4 let stand for 5 minutes.
• 5 using a large spoon, skim the clear yellow fat that rises to the surface and reserve (or pour fat out of separator into another bowl).
• 6 if the drippings don’t seem dark enough, pour half back into the roasting pan and set over two burners.
• 7 bring to a boil over high heat.
• 8 as the drippings reduce they will darken.
• 9 pour in the remaining drippings until the liquid in the pan is as dark as you want.
• 10 the amount of drippings will decrease, but the finished gravy will be darker and taste better without having to resort to something from a bottle.
• 11 remove browned drippings and add enough stock to the drippings to measure 4 cups total cooking liquid.
• 12 set aside set the roasting pan on top of the stove over 2 burners on moderately low heat.
• 13 add 6 tablespoons of the reserved fat to the pan.
• 14 sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisking constantly.
• 15 let the mixture bubble, whisking constantly, until it browns, 1 to 2 minutes.
• 16 it is important to let the mixture cook for a minute or two to allow the flour to lose its raw taste, but adjust the heat as needed to keep it from burning.
• 17 whisk in the cooking liquid, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan.
• 18 simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking occasionally.
• 19 if the gravy seems too thin, increase the heat to medium and boil until it is as thick as you wish.
• 20 if desired, strain the gravy through a wire sieve to remove any extraneous bits of drippings.

Oven Baked Buffalo Wings

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 3 lbs chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• soul seasoning (i use "all island soul seasoning") (optional)
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce (or more)
• 3 tablespoons butter

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 400°f.
• 2 prepare chicken wings by using poultry shears and sniping off the wing tips (discard, or freeze for other use, like stock), and snip at remaining wing joint. this gives you "2" wings per wing.
• 3 spread oil on baking sheet.
• 4 spread wings in single layer on baking sheet.
• 5 you may choose to slide wings around on the oiled sheet, to put a light coating of oil on the wings. less oil on wings makes for slightly less crispness.a bit of oil helps seasoning stick. you could omit oil, and spray with a good quality non-stick olive oil product.
• 6 this step is optional. sprinkle as liberally as you dare with your choice of seasoning. this is where experimentation comes in, be daring, try what's in your spice cabinet, however i've come to like a common "all island soul seasoning", with a touch of cayanne or ground red or pepper. if you're cutting back on salt, be cautious of prepared seasoning, as they have a lot of sodium.
• 7 bake until browned, cooked through, and a bit crispy. about 40 minutes. use your nose and eyes to check! i use my convection setting on my oven too, which cuts on the cooking time, but makes a nice crisp even coating.
• 8 remove from oven, and cool for about 15 minutes.
• 9 melt butter and mix with hot sauce. (again. amount of hot sauce to your taste).
• 10 toss with the wings in a serving bowl with the butter/hot sauce mixture.
• 11 serve with your favorite blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
