Sticky Buns

Always a favorite, I love these ooey gooey sticky buns! I make the dough in the bread machine, and this recipe is the one that came with it. I do add extra butter, hey why not?

Sticky Breakfast Bun Dough
Add to bread machine in the order suggested by your manufacturer:
1 large egg, room temperature (very important!!) plus enough warm water, 80F to equal 1 cup
3-1/2 tsp oil
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp salt
3-1/2 cups bread flour
2 tsps active dry yeast
Select Dough cycle

Filling
1/2 cup softened butter
1/3 cup sugar (I like to use half sugar, half light brown sugar)
1 TBL Cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Topping
1 cup melted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecan or walnut halves (optional)

1. Place on a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12" by 16" rectangle and spread with filling butter. Combine the remaining filling ingredients and sprinkle over dough. Roll up tightly, jelly roll style, starting with the longest side and cut into 1" slices.
2. Combine topping mixture and spread into a 13" x 9" baking dish. If using nuts, arrange halves in the bottom of the pan. Place slices on mixture and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or more, until doubled in size.
3. Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Use oven mitts to carefully invert onto a heat proof tray. Syrup will be very hot!!!

Enjoy! I like them best when they are warm, you can heat in the microwave for 15 seconds later, yummy!

Recipe - Slow Oven Roasted BBQ Chicken Wings

These fall off the bone wings have to be the best I have ever made. I usually bake them or grill them at a higher temperature, but decided to try something new today, and boy am I glad I did!

Fall Off the Bone Tender Slow Oven Roasted Chicken Wings

I started with whole wings that were completely thawed, about 4 pounds worth.

Preheat oven to 450 F

Prepare wings by cutting off the wing tips (I don't like to separate the sections, I think that holds in the juices better if you don't).

Sprinkle with a dry rub of your choice. I had one that I made up a few weeks ago, but any BBQ rub would work, Stubbs is always good! Go lightly on the dry rub unless you want them spicy!

Cover baking dishes or cookie sheets with foil for much easier cleanup later.

Arrange chicken wings in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

Reduce heat to 275 F. Put wings into oven.

Do not open the oven for an hour and 15 minutes. After one hour 15 minutes, baste lightly with BBQ Sauce. In another 30 minutes, baste lightly with BBQ sauce again. (if you put on too much sauce they will not get crispy)

Raise oven temp to 350 F after the second basting. Bake for an additional 15-25 minutes. (Total cooking time approx. 2 hours, 10 minutes).

Wings will be slightly difficult to remove, you kind of have to finesse them off the foil, or buy non stick foil.

This recipe was edited because of my friend Alan, who is wonderful, for clarity.

Enjoy with some friends and perhaps some baked beans and macaroni salad!
