This recipe isn’t for fried chicken, per se, but after tasting it you might give up trying to coat a piece of chicken in anything other than it’s own skin again./p
pThis is likely to be the crispiest baked chicken you’ve ever had, with skin that shatters when you bite into it. And, there’s no messy frying involved. The secret? Dredging the chicken in a mixture of egg whites, baking soda and salt, then letting the chicken air-dry overnight in the refrigerator. This genius method was perfected in Ideas in Food’s recipe for a title=”Korean Style Chicken Wings” href=”https://food52.com/blog/9641-ideas-in-food-s-korean-style-chicken-wings” target=”_blank”Korean-style chicken wings/a.

br /I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the low-rent fitness schlock that keeps clogging up the Internet.

That time is long gone. Personally, I don’t think anyone should be wasting their time in the fitnessphere.

A diverse group invokes it, including strict paleo dieters, vegans grasping for straws to indict meat, and web sites featuring HTML from the 1990s that sell alkalizing water tablets. And because acidity sounds caustic and vaguely negative, lots of people buy into it. So, does it matter?/p

We here at The Kitchn are firm believers in the power of sangria. Pull a pitcher from the fridge as guests arrive and no one needs much encouragement to start pouring glasses. It feels fancy and instantly festive, but sangria is also one of the easiest big-batch cocktails you can make. As the party host, it’s a no-brainer.

We’ve shared a lot of fun recipes for sangria over the years, from a sparkling peach sangria to a strawberry & limoncello rosé sangria, but today we’re all about keeping it classic. Here’s how to make the perfect red wine sangria for your next summer gathering.

Raw Swiss chard greens are tender and milder in flavor than you might think. The stems are edible and have a pleasantly crunchy texture and tart flavor. Not a fan of cooked Swiss chard? There’s a good chance you’ll like it better raw. The leaves have a light and lemony flavor with very little of the astringent bitterness of cooked Swiss chard./p
pIt’s that light and lemony flavor that pairs so well with something meatier, heavier and spicier like harissa lamb chops. The flavor combination of harissa lamb chops and raw Swiss chard salad is pretty much perfect. Plus, you’re getting ample amounts of vitamins K, A, C and […]
