I want to start today’s post off with an apology. I’m sorry for the recent lag in content. I generally plan a lot of recipes in advance, but the COVID-19 crisis made quick work of those plans. So, I’ve been rebuilding my content calendar from the ground up. And now, I have the added challenge of limiting the ingredients in my new recipes to what I have on hand. I am fully aware that you may not currently have or have access to the same things I do. So, I will be providing possible substitutions in each of my posts from here on out.

Sometimes I have places to go, people to see and a very small window of time in which to feed myself. And when I find myself in this position, I make this Chicken Farro Skillet with Green Olives and Preserved Lemon.

Gochujang Glazed Chicken with Roast Savoy Cabbage

Gochujang Glazed Chicken

When I was growing up, roast chicken was a Sunday night staple. Add a side of mashed potatoes and a roast carrot or two and you could call it a party. These days, I still find myself roasting a bird on the occasional Sunday, but the ol’ salt and pepper with a side of potatoes just doesn’t thrill me anymore. To be honest, I don’t think it thrilled me then, I sort of think that’s what I liked about it. And while the classic will always be a classic, I can’t help but mess with that all too familiar chicken dinner. This Gochujang Glazed Chicken is the latest installment in my poultry-related experiments.
