Sticky Lemon Thai Chili Fried Chicken
I woke up today wanting orange chicken. Then I realized I didn’t have any oranges. So I racked my brain for potential alternative. I settled on a lemon alternative because in all honesty, lemons are plentiful on the tree we have outside. I figured it’s always good to have a alternative. Then I realized its…

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich w/ Ghost Pepper Ranch
So this is one of my last few post of “extreme” heats because 1 I’ve been told to cut it out here at home because nobody can hang and 2. I really don’t even gravitate towards hot peppers or really much spice in the winter. Which is odd because you’d think if you’re cold you’d…
