Cowboy Cornbread Chicken - Yeee-Haw!

I’ve done a few very tasty cornbread stuffed chicken and pork dishes over the years, but generally find the prep involved a little too fussy, especially when simply serving the meat next to some cornbread gives us just about the same...to read the rest of Chef John's article about Cowboy Cornbread Chicken please follow this link to become a member.)

One-Pan Dirty Spaghetti - In the Name of the Onion, the Pepper, and the Celery Rib

As soon as I found out that dirty spaghetti was inspired by dirty rice, and included the “holy trinity,” I knew I was going to love it.

Tailgate Tandoori Chicken – Taking a Break from Buffalo Chicken

I don’t think Buffalo chicken is in any danger of being usurped as the king of tailgate poultry recipes, but if there were something that could challenge its status, it would be this beautiful, and very delicious tailgate tandoori sheet pan...to read the rest of Chef John's article about Tailgate Tandoori Chicken please follow this link to become a member.)

Yakamein – The Secret is Out

Yakamein might be the best noodle soup you’ve never heard of, which is very unusual for a recipe from New Orleans. Classic dishes from The Big Easy are known and loved all over the world, but Yakamein is more of a local secret.

Peri Peri Chicken – Probably Not Exactly Like Nando’s

The most frustrating type of “food wishes” I get, are the ones asking if I can make a specific dish from a specific restaurant.

Mulligatawny Soup – So Much More Than Pepper Water

Mulligatawny Soup has been requested hundreds of times over the last decade, and while I have no good excuse as to why it took so long, I’m very glad to have finally filmed an official Food Wishes version.

Habanero Honey Sweet Corn Cake – This “Cake” Hurts So Good

The combination of sweet and spicy is nothing new when it comes to enjoying fresh summer corn, but this time we’re utilizing that incredible combo in a cake. Well, at least we’re calling it a “cake.” To be honest, that was simply the name I settled on after deciding it wasn’t really a pie, pudding, spoon bread, or custard.

Grilled Swordfish with White Hot Sauce – The Sauce Formerly Known as White Lightning

I was originally going to call this recipe “Grilled Swordfish with White Lightning Sauce,” but then I saw a commercial from a certain fast food chain promoting something called “White Hot Ranch,” and I decided I liked that name even better.

Drunken Noodles – Were They As Drunk As the Noodles?

TI always love it when there’s some sort of controversy regarding the origins of a recipe’s name, and this amazing Drunken Noodles dish fits the bill. One theory is that this spicy, sweet, and very savory bowl of noodles was invented by drunk people, for drunk people.

Dynamite Rice – As Jimmy Walker Would Say, “It’s Fan-tas-tic!

It’s always exciting getting a food wish for something I’ve not heard of, and when I type the recipe name into the search box, I feel a little surge of what I’ll call culinary adrenaline as I wait for the results to fill the screen.

One-Bite Thai “Flavor Bomb” Salad Wraps (Miang Kham) – Prepare for Actual Mind Blowing

People love to use the term “mind-blowing” when describing what they think is an especially outstanding dish, and with very rare exception, it’s almost always hyperbole.

Red Curry Chicken & Pumpkin Soup – Winter (Squash) is Coming

Every year, someone, somewhere, decides to make some type of pumpkin recipe “from scratch,” and so they buy one more than they need, and after the Jack-o'-lanterns have been carved and candled, they cut, seed, peel, and prep this extra one, only to be thoroughly disappointed with the... to read the rest of Chef John's article about this Red Curry Chicken & Pumpkin Soup recipe, please follow this link to become a member.)

Beef Birria – Stewing Towards Tacos

This beef birria is based on two things; an amazing stewed beef recipe from the Mexican restaurant I worked in during college, as well as the equally incredible goat birrias I’ve been enjoying in San Francisco’s Mission District for many years.

Lomo Saltado – What’s Another Name for a “Stir-Fry”

“Stir-fries” have never excited me very much, and not just because I’m wok-less. I associate them with strips of grey, nondescript meat in a tangle of salty, under cooked vegetables, and those are the ones I made. The stir-fries I’ve ordered out were even worse. So, put me down as officially less likely to make something described as a stir-fry. Which is why it took me a while to embrace Lomo Saltado.
