Chey’s Lounge

This one is more for me than most of my other posts. I had never made anything I had on Sunday, aka yesterday,prior to then, so it was really a big day. Idk if I’ll make the wings exactly the same again, but I still want to write down what I did do this time. I’m lazy so don’t expect much x. 

Okay potato skins. I rubbed with olive oil and salt and cooked for about an hour at 400° and then an extra like 10-15 mins on 450°. After they cool, scoop out the middle. Use some sort of shredded cheese and fill it all the way up. Top it with some chopped bacon. Put it in the oven like that for like 20 minutes at 400°. Top with whatever you’d like, but one of the tongs you really should add is scallions. 

Okay. The chili. I used like 1.25 lbs. ground beef. 85/15 if you were curious. The rest of the dish is loosely based off that proportion. I needed bacon for both this and the skins, so I cooked a few slices in the oven. I saved some of the grease to use as the fat to sauté my veggies. I used onion, a red bell pepper, a long red pepper, a poblano (charred the skin off prior), and a can of fire roasted green chilis. I used some tomato paste and after letting it all cook a little I added what was supposed to be crushed tomatoes but was actually whole tomatoes cut up by me, a can of fire roasted dice tomatoes, and some beef broth. Oh, and you can’t forget about the beans! A can of dark red and a can of black beans, lightly rinsed. I brown the meat and add some chopped bacon in there at some point. Omg the spices shootttt. Running out of time brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, some cayenne, 

Okay wings, quickly. I did a dry rub after coating in olive oil I think it had salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, some cayenne, some dried herbs, prob something else, and some baking powder. For the sauce, I basically used franks wing sauce, honey, and molasses. I may need to comment if I remember anything that I forgot now. But I did a decent job. Oh. I cooked the wings like 40 mins then after putting on the sauce broiled for a few mins. Okay that’s it for real now I think.
