CREAMY BUFFALO WINGS🍗🏈 You HAVE to try these wings! They're crispy on the outside with a creamy, tangy sauce thanks to the Kewpie mayo. The mix of spicy and savory is so bomb! Perfect for your football Sunday bites —trust me! Full recipe details below - like + save this post for your next appetizer! __ Oven-Baked Creamy Buffalo Wings 2 servings 1 hr 15 mins For the wings — 2 lbs chicken wings (about 18 wings) 1 tbsp neutral oil 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp baking powder Cooking spray For the lemon pepper butter — 1/4 c butter, softened 2 tsp kewpie mayo 1/4 c buffalo sauce Serve with — dried or fresh parsley and ranch or blue cheese for dipping — Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a crispy texture. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder, ensuring the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning. Place a baking rack on top of a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and spray the rack with cooking spray. Place the seasoned wings on top of the rack, then bake for 45-55 minutes (flipping halfway through) or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Just before the wings are finished baking, combine the softened butter, mayo and buffalo sauce. If the sauce is a bit lumpy after mixing, don’t worry — this will melt into the sauce once tossed with the warm wings! Once the wings finish baking, toss the wings with the buffalo sauce in a large bowl. The butter will slowly melt into a sauce that will thoroughly coat the wings as you continue to toss. Serve the wings with dried or fresh parsley and ranch or blue cheese for dipping. Enjoy! #ugccreator #foodcontentcreator #latinacontentcreator #buffalowingrecipe #footballseasonappetizer

PICKLED RED ONION HACK🧅 If you love a bit of tanginess in your dishes, pickled red onions are your new best friend. They're a game-changer for any dish, and the secret to that perfect color is adding chopped beets to the brine! Full recipe details are listed below - like + save this post to make later! __ Pickled Red Onions Prep time: 15 minutes 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup water 2 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp salt 1 large red onion, thinly sliced About 1/4 of a large beet, chopped into smaller pieces 1 bay leaf 1 tsp dried oregano — In a small pot over medium heat, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir the mixture until the sugar and salt dissolve completely and the liquid comes to a simmer. Once dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and let the brine cool slightly. In a heatproof storage container, add the thinly sliced red onion, chopped beet, bay leaf, and dried oregano. Pour the slightly cooled brine over the onion mixture in the container. Gently stir to ensure everything is well combined and the onions are fully submerged in the brine. Seal the container tightly. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer the container to the refrigerator. Let the onions marinate for at least 4 hours, but for best flavor, refrigerate them overnight, and enjoy! These pickled red onions can last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks when stored in a sealed, airtight container. #ugccreator #foodcontentcreator #latinacontentcreator #pickledredonion #cookinghack

OPEN CAN MICHELADA🍻 Whether you’re chilling at home or hosting a backyard asada, this open-can Michelada is perfect. This tool lets you take the top off of the can so the drink is made directly in it — just add a slice of lime and Tajín on the side of the can and you have such a cool-looking drink! Full recipe details are listed below - like + save this post to make for Labor Day weekend! __ Open Can Micheladas 4 servings 5 minutes 1 1/3 c clamato 1 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce 1 tsp jugo maggi 1 tsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fresh lime juice A few dashes of hot sauce, optional A few cracks of black pepper A pinch of salt 4 cans of cold Modelo beer (or Mexican beer of your choice) Ice Straws Rim — chamoy or lime juice and tajin — In a large glass or mason jar, mix the Clamato, worcestershire sauce, jug Maggi, soy sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, black pepper and salt. Then, using a topless can opener (link to this product is in my bio!), open the tops of the beer cans and pour about 1/4 - 1/3 of each beer into one separate large glass. This allows for extra room in each beer can to add the michelada mix and ice, and the beer in the glass can be used for additional micheladas. Wash the outsides of the cans thoroughly with water and soap, then working with one beer can at a time, carefully tilt the can, ensuring not to spill any beer, and brush the top side of the can with chamoy or lime juice. Be careful not to brush any on the top edge of the can and only on the side. Sprinkle tajin over the chamoy (or lime juice), then stand the can upright and add a few ice cubes and michelada mix until the can is full. Repeat these steps with the remaining 4 cans. Top each can with a lime wedge and a straw, and enjoy! #ugccreator #foodcontentcreator #latinacontentcreator #michelada #opencancocktails

ESCABECHE🌶️🥕🧅 These are seriously addicting! Also known as Jalapeños Curtidos or Chiles en Vinagre, escabeche is a spicy, tangy, pickled mix that adds the perfect kick to any Latin dish. Since the jalapeños are halved, the vinegar gets exposed to the jalapeño seeds (which are what gives these peppers their heat) and makes the vinegar nice and spicy. The carrots and onions soak up all that heat too (which I love!), but if you prefer less heat, feel free to remove the seeds from the jalapeños before cooking. Escabeche is a great accompaniment for a wide variety of dishes but they're so addicting that I sometimes just eat them by themselves! Full recipe details are listed below - like + save this post to make later! __ Escabeche 8-10 servings 20 minutes 2 tbsp high-heat, neutral oil 4-5 jalapeños, halved (seeds removed if you prefer less heat) 1 large carrot sliced into thin rounds 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 1/2 of a large white onion, sliced 1 1/2 cup white vinegar 1 1/2 cup water 1 tbsp salt 1 tsp dried crushed oregano 2 bay leaves — Start by heating the oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the jalapeños, carrots, garlic cloves and onion. Sauté these ingredients for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Next, add the vinegar, water, salt, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the entire escabeche, including the liquid, to a heat-safe storage container. Let it cool on the counter to room temperature, which should take at least an hour. After it has cooled, store the escabeche in the fridge, where it can be kept for up to 1 month. #ugccreator #foodcontentcreator #latinacontentcreator #escabecherecipe #jalapenoscurtidos
