Margherita Chicken Brick Oven Pizza
Head over to your favorite local wood-fired pizzeria to purchase baked crusts. They often will sell untopped baked dough as focaccia, brushed with olive oil and seasoned with coarse salt and maybe crumbled dried rosemary. These bubbly, charred crusts are perfect for simply dressed pizzas, like this classic Margherita—sweet Italian tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil—and shredded cooked chicken.
Korean Marinated Chicken Wings
Gochujang is a spicy, slightly sweet, dark red, fermented chili paste that has been a staple ingredient in Korean households for hundreds of years. Look for it at Asian markets or well-stocked grocery stores.
Grilled Chicken Wings with Apple Bourbon Mop Sauce
If cooking indoors, place the wings in a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and pop under the broiler for about 15 minutes, brushing them with the mop sauce before serving.
Sriracha Spiced Sticky Wings
For a purely hot and spicy wing, bring the remaining marinade to a boil and cook it down until reduced by half. Otherwise, make Coconut Green Curry Sauce (see below).

Garnet Chicken with Port & Fig
Tawny ports are wines made from red grapes that are aged in wooden barrels. The exposure to wood imparts “nutty” flavors to the wine, which can be sweet or medium dry. Port is typically served at the end of a meal, but in this simple recipe it creates a luscious sauce that complements the rich dark chicken and fresh figs.
