Show Notes for August 1, 2009
This week the On the House was back together with the know-how on how-to! Professional advice, handy tips, and do-it-yourself information to get your week going. We had news about the White House organic vegetable garden that was recently found to be not so organic. This got our audience calling in about what they use in their garden to keep it fresh. We Chef Jamie also stopped by to continue her series on summer grilling, and this time was wings. There’s something for everybody at On The House so check it out!
CAREY BROTHERS SECRET FORMULA TO CLEANING CONCRETE
On concrete, black streaks and patches are fungus and mildew. And rust is either iron oxide from lawn fertilizer and sprinklers or iron particles in the concrete. To remove mildew, add 1ounce of laundry detergent powder and 3 ounces of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) to 1 quart of bleach and 3 quarts of water. Apply with a soft brush. Let it stand for awhile and then hose it off. For rust stains, put 1 pound of oxalic acid (wood bleach) in 1 gallon of water, and scrub with a stiff bristle broom or brush.
CHEF JAMIE’S SWEET & SPICY SZECHWAN CHICKEN WINGS
Everyone loves chicken wings! Really simple (using a slew of store-bought ingredients) and extremely addictive, these tangy sweet and hot spicy wings are best on the grill, since they take on the smoky flavor from the BBQ. Sriacha is my Asian Chile Hot Sauce of choice, a Thai chili paste made from sun-ripened Chili peppers, Vinegar, Garlic, Sugar, and Salt.
Trust me, this recipe rocks….Try it!
4 pounds chicken wings
1 cup hoisin sauce
3/4 cup plum sauce
Zest and juice from 3 limes
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons Sriracha (Thai chile sauce)
1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro
6 garlic cloves, minced
Cut off the wing tips and save them for making stock. In a large mixing bowl combine the hoisin, plum sauce, lime zest, lime juice, fish sauce, honey, Sriracha, cilantro and garlic. Place the wings in 2 large sealable plastic bags. Distribute the marinade between both bags. Close the bags and shake to coast well. Allow the wings to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium or the oven to 375°F. Drain the wings from the marinade and place the marinade in a small saucepot. Bring the marinade to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
To grill the wings, brush the grill grates with oil. Place the wings on the grill. Grill the wings for about 20 minutes total with the BBQ closed, turning the wings a few times during grilling and basting with the boiled marinade.
Or, to bake the wings, line a shallow baking pan with foil. Arrange the wings in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes. Turn the wings over, baste them with the boiled marinade and return to the oven. Continue to bake the wings for another 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve the wings with the remaining sauce, for dipping.
