BATTERED SMOKIES

Battered smokies

Heeey loves, it’s yet another week to try a new recipe.

These are battered smokies; y’all could use sausages, frankfurters or viennas.

This was the first time I made these. I was to make corndogs but I realized I didn’t have any cornmeal or corn flour sooo we altered the snack choice lol. I’m satisfied with the results, I have several things to change next time I’ll make them though.

Next time I’ll make corn dogs haha.

What you’ll need

The smokies were precooked in the microwave

Method

Precook the smokies for a few minutes; you could do this either in the microwave, shallow frying them in oil or boiling them.

Paste

Make this paste using:

*1 cup of flour(could be more depending on the consistency of the paste)

*1/2 a tablespoon of baking powder

*1/4 spoon of cinammon powder

*1/2 a cup of brown sugar

*1 cup of milk(could be more depending on the consistency of the paste)

Combine all these in a jug. It has to be a jug or long glass.

Once it’s properly runny, add the smokies.

When putting the skewers in the smokies make sure they don’t go all the way in, preferably halfway.

Make sure the smokies are well coated.

Frying

Fry them in medium heated oil. Turn the heat to medium low.

I’d advise y’all to deep fry, not what I did. Ensure the smokies are fully covered by the oil.

This will avoid the paste from rubbing off in some parts like mine did. We live and learn though. 😊

Repeat this process till all smokies are cooked.

See the paste rubbed off in some parts😭 lakini ni sawa tu.

You could have them this way.

Alternatively, make a dip to go with them.

Dip

I made my dip using natural yogurt, mustard and honey.

I genuinely eyeballed the measurements. This dip goes really well with meaty pastries 👌

Natural yogurt, mustard and honey.

If you can get greek yogurt, use that instead of natural yogurt.

This dip is really yumm, I totally recommend it.

I honestly liked how they turned out, the batter wasn’t bleeh adding cinammon was definitely a plus.

That’s it for this week loves. See you next week! Stay safe ❤️

Whiskey wings

Whiskey wings

Hey loves!! It’s been a whiiile 2 weeks lol exams took the better part of me. I trust y’all have been well though😊

As promised, today we’re making whiskey wings.🥃

Ingredients.

Method

I first washed my wings and cut them to make wingletts.

This was followed by making the marinade. (watch my IG reel for a detailed marinade)

The marinade was basically made of:

1/2 a cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of black and white whiskey

1/4 cup of masturd

Soy sauce(I eyeballed this lol)

Honey about 2 tbsp

I added the wings to the marinade. ( I used 1/2 a kg of wings)

Marinate this for 2hrs or 1hr 30 mins minimum

After 2hrs,preheat the oven for 10 mins.

Add the wings to the oven tray and cook for 30 mins at 190°

After 30 mins; flip the wings, add more marinade to the wings and cook for another 30 mins.

The wings will be ready after 1 hr. But the hour should be divided into 2. So basically 30 mins on each side.

Wings are readdddyyyy.

Serve these with Lyonnaise potatoes, potato wedges or fries.

That’s it for this week loves. Next week, we’re making cocktails🍸💃

Make this meal and enjoy with family and friends this festive season.

Thank you for your continued support ❤️💛💛 and thank you for helping me choose this week’s throwdown. I’ll continue using polls to allow y’all to choose what you’d want to see.
