Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound chicken tenders
2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes, and set aside.
  • Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside. Stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir in the green onions.
  • To serve, place the mashed sweet potatoes onto a serving platter, top with the chicken tenders, and pour the maple sauce over the chicken.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

8 whole chicken wings, about 2 pounds total
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
About 1 cup Miss Brown's Maple BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
4 Sweet Potato Waffles, recipe follows
Pickled jalapeno slices, optional
Maple syrup, for serving
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
3/4 cup mashed sweet potato
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
One 14.5-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a large Dutch oven to come about one-third of the way up the sides (it should be deep enough to cover the wings) and heat to 350 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with a wire rack.
  • Rinse the chicken wings (the water is going to help the flour stick) and place on one of the prepared baking sheets. Season both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the flour and House Seasoning in a large paper bag and shake to combine. Add the chicken wings, 2 at a time, shaking well to coat. Return the coated wings to the same baking sheet.
  • Fry the wings in batches until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to the other prepared baking sheet.
  • To serve, toss the wings with the Maple BBQ Sauce. Place two wings on each Sweet Potato Waffle. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired, drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.
  • Preheat a Belgian waffle iron.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sweet potato, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Add a heaping cup of waffle batter to the preheated waffle iron and cook until the outsides of the waffle are lightly browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Stir together the tomato sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add up to 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Use on poultry, pork, beef or seafood. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
  • Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

3 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
Juice of 1 lime

Hot water for thinning the purée if needed

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the vinegar and the salt, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it emulsifies. Divide the chicken pieces between 2 large bowls, pour the marinade over, cover and let the chicken marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange chicken pieces in one layer, skin side up, on a large baking pan that has been lined with stick-release foil for 20 to 25 minutes, taking chicken breast out when just opaque. Continue roasting until the thighs exude clear yellow juices with no trace of pink when pierced. Brush with maple barbecue sauce during the last 10 minutes. Serve chicken with the remaining sauce. Maple barbecue sauce: In a large heavy saucepan combine the onions, the oil, the Worcestershire sauce, the mustard, the ketchup, the broth, the vinegar, and the syrup, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 3 1/3 cups. The sauce may be made 1 week in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes about 3 1/3 cups.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook the onion, apples and lime zest with salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Drain the sweet potatoes well,transfer to a food processor and purée them with the apple mixture until mixture is smooth. With the motor running add the crème fraîche or sour cream, lime juice, the nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste and enough hot water to thin the puree until a mashed potato consistency.
