Hot & Sticky Orange
Chicken Wings
You can use any chicken part with this, not just the wings. Thighs, legs or even beast cut into nuggets will work. What ever is on sale, grab it.
Ingredients:
2 Table spoons favorite hot sauce
16 chicken wings (about 4 pounds)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
1/3 cup water
3 tablespoons honey
Preparation
Remove wing tips from chicken wings and discard; cut remaining wings apart at the joints. Season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a broiler pan with a rack. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until crisp and golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Meanwhile, combine orange juice concentrate, water, honey, and hot sauce in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened and reduced by half.
Place chicken in a large bowl or pan and pour orange sauce over them; toss until well coated. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Best Bread Machine Pizza Dough
Make the perfect pizza dough with that bread machine that is gathering dust on the shelf.
Ingredients:
2 c flour
1 Tbls butter, softened
1 Tbls sugar
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 c plus 2 Tbls water (105-110 degrees)
Preparation
Add all ingredients into your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure that the water is warm enough to proof the yeast (about 105-110 degrees).
Turn your bread machine to the dough setting and let ‘er go! After a couple minutes check on your dough. Make sure that the ingredients are thoroughly combined and that the dough is not too wet or too dry. Depending on where you live and the flour you use there can be some variances in the dough. If it’s too dry, add 1 tsp of water at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tsp of flour at a time.
The dough will raise nicely during the dough cycle. Isn’t it pretty? It never ceases to amaze me what a little yeast can do
After the bread machine is done (mine takes about 90 minutes on the dough cycle) – dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and work it until you achieve your desired shape.
Depending on the size of pizza pan or pizza stone you are using, you may not need all of the dough.
I like to lightly grease my pizza pan and dust with cornmeal. Make up your pizza and bake at 400-425 degrees for 18-25 minutes. You are looking for bubbly cheese and lightly browned crust. If you like a crunchier crust, brush some olive oil on the crust before baking.
