I love Asian food. I especially love it when there is a fusion between Asian and American foods. For example, take this Asian BBQ Chicken Chili. I don’t believe I’ve ever eaten chili with Asian inspired flavors, but it works so well, It’s almost like they were meant to be paired together! …

I love traditions… especially around the holidays. At Thanksgiving we always have my late-grandma’s banana cream and chocolate cream pie. These buttery dinner rolls have been gracing our Thanksgiving table for years. With every new marriage, child born and merger of families, new traditions are brought in to the fold. The traditions around our holiday table are both rich with family history and valued by everyone.

With that said, there are times when breaking tradition is totally ok. For example, a smaller Thanksgiving gathering might not require a giant turkey to be roasted. Instead, maybe grilling up some BBQ Turkey Legs might be a better option. These Grilled BBQ Turkey Legs made with KC Masterpiece Hickory Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce are just the nudge you need for breaking away from tradition, just a little bit. They are so good, you will never miss your traditional roasted turkey!

I used to not like chicken on the bone. In fact, was quite grossed out when it came to anything you had to pick up and gnaw off the bone. My world consisted of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and that was it.

A door opened up for me when I eventually tried what are now our favorite chicken legs. Since that discovery, I’ve talked about our favorite oven baked chicken legs a zillion and ten times on Dine & Dish. They are that good and make regular appearance on our dinner table. From chicken legs I graduated to chicken thighs – never ever thought I would say it, but boneless chicken thighs are probably one of my favorite pieces of chicken to cook with and eat now. Full of flavor and really so different than a chicken breast.

So now, I’ve gone all chicken crazy and have fallen in love with chicken wings. Again, something I never thought I would say, but these wings are so good. In fact, I made them on a night when my husband was traveling and ended up making the kids something else for dinner because I ate almost all of them!

I implore you to get off the chicken breasts only train and try some of these other cuts of chicken. You deserve it. Your tastebuds deserve it. You can thank me later.

The inspiration for these Kickin’ Barbecue Style French Fries comes from our favorite barbecue restaurant, Oklahoma Joe’s. They have the most amazing fries which are tossed with their rib rub. My husband makes some pretty awesome ribs with his own special rub, so I decided to take some elements of his rib rub to create a seasoning mix for some fries.

The end result are some julienne cut fries made with Idaho russet potatoes. A zesty kick, a hint of sweet and full of flavor, these fries are so addicting. I hope you enjoy them!
