Simple to make, delicious to eat Chicken Drumsticks

-
To tell you the truth, this isn't a meal I make a lot. But I don't know why. It's insanely easy and it tastes delicious. Serve it up with some mashed potatoes and bread, and you've got a pretty fantastic meal. But usually, I just forget about it. However, I was walking by the meat case at the grocery store this week and saw the chicken drumsticks and thought, yup. I'm going to make those tonight.


But an even better thing about this meal is that it's cheap! Drumsticks are usually much cheaper than buying chicken breast, so I like to splurge and buy Smart Chicken when I can. This package of drumsticks was only $5.22 -- and it's enough for 3 servings!



The only other ingredients this takes is seasoning salt, garlic salt, black pepper and butter. Use the salt, garlic and pepper to season the drummies while they are still on the tray. 


Add a 1/4 cup of butter to a large electric skillet (or frying pan) and heat to 350* F.


Once the butter has melted, add the drumsticks to the skillet, seasoning side down.


Once they are on the skillet, season the other side as well.


Cook drumsticks on for about 8 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 8 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.


And that's all there is to it! Remove from the skillet when chicken is fully cooked and serve with whatever sides you choose!

My favorite way to cook Bison Burgers

Bison Burgers. Ah... one of my favorite parts of summer.  I love cooking bison burgers. One of the reasons is because, there really isn't anywhere else around here to get a good bison burger other than my kitchen, but another is because it's so easy to cook anyway, and you can make a perfect burger just the way you like it! So here's my quick post on my favorite way to cook bison burgers to help you get started. Of course, the whole point of cooking for yourself is to make food the way you want it, so be creative and make the burger your own. Just use mine as a launch pad! As you can see here on the right, I like to start with big, meaty hand formed patties. If you're going for easiest way possible, my site does sell pre-formed bison burger patties that are wildly popular. I, however, prefer a larger, 1/2 lb. patty and so I prefer to form mine myself from the Ground Bison. I do not add anything to the meat before I form the patties. If you like, you can season

A Quick and Easy Bison Meal: Bison Steak Bites

I've had some extra bison stew meat in the freezer for awhile, leftover from what I used during an old bison photo shoot. I'd been holding onto it, trying to wait for a good time and idea to use it. I'm not a huge fan of stew, so I was looking for another way to use it. The truth is, on my site, NebraskaBison.com, bison stew meat is just pre-cut chunks of the bison roast. It makes it easy to use in things like stew, or even kabobs. Because it comes from the roast, it's a prime cut and is tender and flavorful. The dish I finally ended up making with this can be easily made with the Bison Stew Meat , or you could also use cut up bison steak or bison roast. As long as they are small (1-2" chunks) of a prime cut, you should be good. This recipe is very simple and straight forward. The first thing you'll want to do is mix up your seasoning. I used equal parts (1 tsp. each) garlic salt, rosemary and black pepper. I discovered this seasoning combination c

How to make awesome and saucy bison enchiladas

Enchiladas are probably one of the first foods I learned how to make. My mother loves Mexican food, and that is something I definitely inherited. And luckily, I found a partner in crime who loves Mexican food as well. I'm going to start by telling you, the enchilada recipe I'm about to share with you is nothing like the enchiladas you'll get if you go to the local Mexican restaurant... or at least it's nothing like the enchiladas I've ordered at Mexican restaurants here in Nebraska... I know, I know... Nebraska is not known for our quality Mexican food. And to be honest, I've been to Mexico City once back in high school and I didn't get the chance to order an enchilada  (although I will say I had a few homemade tamales that I still dream about and salivate over... but that's another story)  but I'm sure these enchiladas aren't super authentic either. But what these enchiladas are is delicious. And that's what truly counts, right? At least tha
