Teriyaki Chicken Wings

Here's another version of teriyaki chicken. This recipe is good for 1 serving.

4 chicken wings (about 10 oz), separated at joint
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Heat broiler with rack 4 inches from heat. Arrange wings on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning once, until lightly browned and tender, about 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and vinegar. Reserve 2 tablespoons for dipping.

Remove wings from broiler; brush with remaining sauce. Return to broiler, turning and brushing with sauce twice, until browned and glazed, 2 to 4 minutes. Brush with pan juices before serving.

Baked Tilapia with Fresh Herbs

4 skinless tilapia fillets (6-8 oz each)
coarse salt and ground pepper
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill (othe options: cilantro, tarragon or chives)
lemon wedges, for serving

Preheat oven to 375F. Place fillets on a rimmed baking sheet, flat side down; season generously with salt and pepper. Divide mayonnaise evenly over top of fillets; using a butter knife, spread, coating evenly.

Sprinkle fish with parsley and dill. Bake until opaque throughout, about 15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Asian-Style Pork Chops

This is a very simple, but delicious recipe. We always get compliments whenever we serve this.

Photo and recipe from Everyday Food.

Marinade:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

4 bone-in rib pork chops

In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup for drizzling. Place pork chops in a shallow dish with the rest of the marinade; turn to coat. Set aside at room temperature turning occasionally, 15 minutes.

Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. Lift pork chops from dish, leaving some marinade clinging to meat; discard the rest. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Broil, withouth turning, until well browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.

To glaze, brush with pan juices and drizzle with reserved marinade. Serve.


Here's a better option I use to prepare these delicious pork chops:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place pork chops on the baking sheet and spoon remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through.
  3. Remove from oven, allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve.
