Corn on the Cob

The Easy Way

Wet a paper towel, and wring out. Wrap the ear(s) of corn in the moist towel(s), and place on a dinner plate. Cook in the microwave for 3-5 minutes (I do 4). 

The Hard Way

Drop the corn into a large pot filled with boiling salted water. 

Cover the pot and let the water return to a boil again, then turn off the heat and keep the pot covered.

Serve after about 5 minutes.

Asian Chicken Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker

Asian Chicken Drumsticks in the Slow Cooker
prep 10 mins
cook 5 hours
total 5 hours, 10 mins
yield 2 -4

You can broil your chicken before placing into the slow cooker for a crispy skin, but broiling afterwards works as well!

Ingredients
2 1/2 lbs chicken drumsticks
Salt and pepper
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Sauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp. tomato paste
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp. freshly chopped ginger

Instructions
Arrange chicken in 6-quart slow cooker. Season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.
Combine sauce ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until chicken is cooked through (160-165F.)
For crispy skin, broil your chicken until golden! You can also do this before placing into the slow cooker but I find the final broiling to yield great results!
Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve over rice.
Feel free to remove all the meat after cooking and throw it into a big batch of rice!
