Garlic salt

Cornstarch

Sauce:

3/4 c sugar

4 Tbsp ketchup

1/2 c white vinegar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

Place sauce ingredients in sauce pan and heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Remove foil for last 10 minutes.

Bacon Cheddar Scones

Printer-Friendly Version
Ingredients:
For the scones:
3 cups bisquick
1 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. ground black pepper (depending on your preference)
8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1½ cups grated cheddar cheese
4 green onions, thinly slices
10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped or crumbled into small pieces
1 cup milk (plus up to ½ cup extra, if needed)
For the egg wash:
1 large egg
2 tbsp. water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.  In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the bisquick, salt and black pepper; mix briefly to combine.  Add the cubes of butter and mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas.  (Alternatively, this can be done in a regular mixing bowl, using a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.)  Add in the grated cheese and mix just until incorporated.
Mix in the green onions, bacon, and 1 cup of the milk into the flour-butter mixture.  Stir by hand just until all the ingredients are incorporated.  If the dough is too dry to come together, mix in the remaining milk a tablespoon or two at a time until the dough can be formed into a ball.  Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into an 8-inch disk.  Slice the dough into 8 to 10 wedges.
In a small bowl combine the egg and water and whisk together.  Brush each wedge lightly with the egg wash.  Transfer the scones to an ungreased baking sheet.  Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Easy Made Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 1 ten count can Texas style doughnuts (or your preference, just not flaky layers)
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
• Vegetable Oil For Frying

Instructions

1. Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes. In a bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.
2. Using a plastic bottle cap, cut the center out of each biscuit. Test oil with doughnut hole. Oil is ready when it sizzles and bubbles around the doughnut hole's edges. Drop dough into hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden. Once doughnuts are golden on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes.
3. Press both sides of each doughnut into cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.
