Chicken thigh recipes, tips, tricks, and techniques for home cooks
Karaage is shatteringly crisp, simply delicious, snackable fried chicken. And best of all, the crunch holds up. The Japanese bar staple has started to make appearances around the US given that – because of the pandemic – so much of the restaurant business is takeout only. You’ll see it appearing […]
I know, I know, the picture above is of a pancake breakfast with sausage links. But I’m going to talk about biscuits and gravy first. I love biscuits and gravy. I loved it even before I lived in North Carolina, but my time there definitely made it even more of […]
We’ve covered Katsu on this site before. The almost impossibly crisp Japanese style cutlet is a favorite of mine – both as prepared in the previous post, but even more so as a sandwich. Oh man, katsu sandos are wonderful. But there’s another common preparation that I left out last […]
