Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings and Baked Crinkle Cut Fries

Dinner Tonight: Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings and Baked Crinkle Cut Fries




For Breakfast on this Monday Morning I Scrambled a couple of Eggs, toasted a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. It's 85 degrees and humid again

outside rain moving in later. I was on the phone most of the day, We are in the process of moving Dad to a different Long Term Care Facility. We are not happy with the care that Dad receives. He's not mistreated or anything like that but the Center is understaffed and the Food is pretty bad. So we've found a different place for him. Hope it all works out. For Dinner tonight I prepared Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings and Baked Crinkle Cut Fries. It's Freezer Week Dinners for this week. The freezer is getting a little full. You buy an item and it gradually gets pushed back by other items bought and slowly becomes a "Forgotten Freezer Item" So this week I'm digging through the freezer for my meals this week. Tonight Wings and Fries.


I prepared some of the Kroger Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings. I really enjoy these Kroger Brand Wings! they 3 or 4 different types of Seasoned Wings. I like these and the Buffalo Wings. I’ll be baking these, I preheated the oven to 425 degrees. Used a baking sheet, lined it with foil and sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray. I lined the Wings up on the foil and seasoned them with the BBQ Dry Rub that came with the Wings. I then baked them for 17 minutes, flipping them over after 8 minutes. These turned out to be an excellent Wing! Excellent BBQ Dry Rub. Served these with a side of Litehouse Light Blue Cheese Dressing.



To go with my Wings I prepared some Ore Ida Golden Crinkle Cut French Fries. Like all the Ore Ida Products, they are easy to prepare and delicious. I just baked them for 19 minutes and done! Served them with a side of Hunt's Ketchup. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.

Mini Carb Cakes, Wings, and Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potato Fries

Dinner Tonight: Mini Carb Cakes, Wings, and Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potato Fries




For Breakfast this morning I Scrambled an Egg and toasted a couple of slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. Also, as usual, I had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cold morning starting off but it was sunny and 53 degrees out for the day. After Breakfast I straightened up the pantry, checking the expiration dates on everything. Then did the same in the freezer. After Lunch I got the leaf blower out and cleaned off the deck and driveway areas. That was about it for my day. For Dinner tonight it's an oven menu. I prepared Mini Carb Cakes, Wings, and Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potato Fries.



Trying a couple of new items tonight; that I purchased here at our local Kroger, Dockside Classics Mini Crab Cakes and Kroger Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings. I also purchased some Fingerling Potatoes while at Jungle Jim's Market a couple of days ago that I'm slicing up and baking.









The Dockside Classics Mini Crab Cakes come fresh in a package, 24 to a package. To prepare them preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the Mini Cakes on a baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes or until they hit an internal temperature of 160 degrees. I love these little Crab Cakes. Nice flavor and real easy to prepare. Served it with some Heinz Cocktail Sauce for dipping.








Then I also prepared some Kroger Dry Rub BBQ Chicken Wings. Like the Mini Crab Cakes I'll be
baking these also. After baking the Crab Cakes I turned the temperature up to 425 degrees. Used a baking sheet, lined it with foil and sprayed it with Pam Cooking Spray. I lined the Wings up on the foil and seasoned them with BBQ Dry Rub that came with the Wings. I then baked them for 17 minutes, flipping them over after 8 minutes. These turned out to be a very good Wing! Excellent BBQ Dry Rub. Served these with a side of Litehouse Light Blue Cheese Dressing.



Then for another side I prepared some Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. Started by washing the Potatoes off in cold water. I then cut the Fingerling Potatoes in half, lengthwise. Put the Potatoes in a large

bowl seasoned them with; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, and Kraft Reduced Fat Parmesan Grated Cheese to top the Potatoes with. Using a cookie sheet lined with foil I spread the Potatoes out on the sheet . Then Roasted them at 400 degrees until they were fork tender, about 20 minutes. Still can’t figure out why it’s so hard to find Fingerling Potatoes in this area, only 1 store around here locally that sells them (Thank you Jungle Jim’s).

The Dockside Classics Mini Crab Cakes
Premium Crab Cakes – Four hand made lump crab cakes with just the right amount of seasonings and spices. Comes with our own delicious recipe of cocktail sauce.

Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potato Fries

Directions:
1.) Thoroughly clean and scrub the potatoes.
2.) Cut the potatoes in half and add to a large mixing bowl.
3.) Add the olive oil. I used about 1 tablespoon, but this will vary by how many potatoes you use. Just use enough oil to give the potatoes a nice coat. Add your seasonings.
