usually where I go (been called the best in the chicago area by CBS news), but they have been down on their game ever since Jim's kids took over the place about 3-4 yrs ago... still quite good, but not worth the drive to get em as I can make some good enough to not warrant the drive...
I've had parties where 4-5 guys show up with crockpots of something similar...it all gets eatin...big fan here. And similar to what I was going to post...I call them mini taco-boats. Usually prepare 2 cookie sheets ahead of time and just pop in oven once guests are ready: -Scoops Tortilla chips lined up on sheets -1 can chili w/meat + 1 can refried beans, heat in pan to mix and easier to spoon into chips -spoon into Scoops chips -pinch of shredded cheese on each Scoop -Topped by finely diced green onion stems Pop in oven until cheese melted, serve immediately.
Glass of Ice One shot of Captain Morgan (preferrably Private Stock) Half can Coke (or Coke Zero for the runners) Another dash of Morgan ...Ahhh...perfect cocktail
Wings are best made in the oven. Fried are greasy and messy. Really, the best wings are made in the oven. I have a great recipe that uses Crystal Hot Suace and Seasame Oil, Kosher salt and the such. They turn out tender and tasty. No way should a wing be fried and sauce added later.
guacamole Ingredients: • 2 ripe seasonal avocados • 1/2 small onion, minced • 1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt(I use 2 cloves) • 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or to taste • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 fresh or pickled jalapeno chile, if desired, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves) I say the Jalapeno is a must • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, if desired Directions: • Halve and pit the avocados and scoop the flesh into a bowl. • Mash the avocados coarsely with a fork and stir in the onion, garlic paste, lime juice, cumin, chile, and cilantro. • The guacamole may be made 2 hours in advance, its surface covered with plastic wrap, and chilled. Oven Chicken Wings Preheat oven to 425 degrees Douse wings with sesame Oil Douse them again with Crystal Hot sauce Sprinkle with Kosher Salt Do it on both sides Place on heavy cooking sheet and cook for 15 or 20 minutes. I have a really heavy OLD cast aluminum tray I use. I line it with aluminum foil to help with clean up and to keep the wings from sticking Douse again with Sesame oil and Hot sauce Turn and cook for at least another 15-20 minutes. In this process fat run off will become a problem. I pour some of it off to keep the wings from becoming greasy. I play it buy ear and feel really. I may put hot sauce on another time or two. I usually turn the wings at least 3 or 4 times and douse each time with hot sauce. I don’t… but if you like them crispy… broil the last 4 or 5 minutes. Depending on the size of the wings they’re usually done in less than an hour. Stick them with a fork. When they’re done… the fork goes right through them with little effort Server with Kens Chunky Blue Cheese dressing

Bacon wrapped lil smokies slice bacon in half, wrap around little smokies and stick with a toothpick. Put in large bowl and sprinkle brown sugar over the top. I use probably a cup and half of sugar. Make sure you mix up the sugar and smokies well. Let sit over night so the sugar makes a syrup and pop in the oven at 400 degrees until bacon is brown and crisp. There won't be any left I guarantee!
