🔥STICKY-SWEET & SPICY Butterflied Chicken Drumsticks!🔥Recipe⬇️ A budget friendly dinner idea that uses mostly staple pantry ingredients!
INGREDIENTS-
10 Drumsticks (Butterflied preferably)
Salt & pepper to season front and back of chicken.
MARINADE INGREDIENTS-
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar. I’m using a fig balsamic from
1 Tbsp Dijon or spicy mustard
2 Tbsp Hot Honey or regular honey
2-3 Tbsp Soy sauce or tamari
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3-4 cloves crushed garlic
Juice of a lemon or lime
Handful chopped parsley or cilantro
1/4 cup olive oil
OPTIONALLY you can add red chili flakes or some Sambal Oelek.
DIRECTIONS-
Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Set aside 1/2 a cup of the marinade to use for basting chicken.
Butterfly chicken legs and add salt and pepper to all sides of the chicken.
Pour marinade over the chicken and coat all the pieces of chicken with marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. The longer it marinates, the better.
Remove chicken from the fridge about an hour before you’re ready to grill.
Heat your grill to medium high and add the chicken. Cook for around 7-8 minutes covered. Flip and continue cooking. Baste with the reserved marinade if desired.
Cook an additional 8 minutes it’s or when an instant read thermometer shows 165 degrees.
Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and some lime. Enjoy with your favorite sides. I always serve this with fragrant jasmine rice and a salad.

🍋LEMONY Armenian meatball soup!
RECIPE ⬇️
A delicious, hearty, tomato based soup, that most Middle Eastern & Armenian families know and love! It goes by many names, including Nuneeg,gelorjik, Eshkili kufteh, or mini kufteh soup! Whatever you call it, it’s always yummy! I prepared the mini kufteh balls ahead of time, and have posted the recipe on my feed.
INGREDIENTS-
1 medium onion chopped small
3 cloves minced garlic
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper
2 tsp dried mint
1/4 cup lemon juice
2, 15oz cans garbanzo beans drained.
1 Tbsp mild pepper paste
1, 6oz can tomato paste
8 cups water
1/2 cup mini shells pasta cooked separately in salted boiling water then drained.
DIRECTIONS-
Add olive oil to a big pot over medium high heat. Add in onions and sweat for about 5-6 minutes. Add in garlic and cook an additional minute. Add in the pepper and tomato pastes and combine. Dump in the drained beans and mix together. Add salt and pepper and the Aleppo pepper if you have it. Pour in the water and mix. Add dried mint and the lemon juice. Add in the meatballs (you can omit the meatballs to keep this vegetarian & vegan). Stir to combine and check seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add more salt or lemon if necessary. Add in the cooked and drained pasta and your soup is done!
Prepping the mini meatballs and having them handy in the freezer is such a time saver! You can find the mini meatballs recipe on my page. Thanks for watching!

🇦🇲ARMENIAN RICE PUDDING! Recipe⬇️ Gatnabour♥️ OH! It’s SO much more than rice pudding! Warm milk & plump rice spiced with cinnamon and rose water. For Armenians, this is comfort food. This is home. I prepare this the same way my mom taught me, except I leave out the rose blossom water. Please make this.
INGREDIENTS-
4 cups milk (I’m using 2%)
3/4 cup short grain rice (washed)
1/4 cup sugar
Cinnamon stick (optional)
1 tsp rose blossom water (optional)
Garnish with Rare & Exotic Seasoning Blends Rosy Delight, cinnamon, or crushed pistachios
DIRECTIONS-
Add milk, rice, and cinnamon stick to a sauté pot and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Once it’s simmering, lower the heat to medium/low still stirring constantly. This will take a while. Maybe 25-30 minutes.
Once the rice is fully plumped up, remove from heat and stir in the sugar.
Add in blossom water at this point (if using).
Ladle into ramekins and garnish. Serve warm or chilled. Thank you for watching.
