Chicken thigh recipes, tips, tricks, and techniques for home cooks
There’s something particularly awesome about food that comes on a stick. First of all, it has the potential to turn just about anything into finger food. Secondly, it almost always means you’re looking at something that’s been grilled or fried – and you know it’s going to bring the flavor. […]
