Here is how to create perfectly GOLDEN BROWN & CRI Here is how to create perfectly GOLDEN BROWN & CRISPY chicken skin in the oven. Use chicken thighs for juicy meat that works on a budget. No fancy tools or ingredients.  Salt, chicken and a little patience is all you need. Link to the recipe in my profile.

This gluten-free vanilla cupcake recipe is one of my tried & true recipes. It never fails me and has been the base for many of my other cupcakes. Top them with a luscious, creamy chocolate frosting and you have a classic.  Some @colorkitchenfoods rainbow sprinkles never hurt too.

I LOVE LEMON in just about everything, especially I LOVE LEMON in just about everything, especially in this gluten-free chicken piccata. Link to the recipe for this classic Italian dish in my profile.
πŸ‹πŸ‹πŸ‹
Lemon, capers olive oil, butter and wine make this a perfect savory, acidy dish. Chicken piccata is a one-pan dish that uses a pan reduction technique. This means getting all of your ingredients ready and waiting at the stove for this process. My recipe provides step by step instructions to keep you organized.
