Method
Description: Keep four large bowls, a plate, a deep pot and a pan on hand.
Hot honey chicken Cut each fillet into three equal strips. Place the strips in a bowl with the buttermilk and hot sauce and stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
Coating Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
Remove the chicken from the fridge. Place the strips on a plate and reserve the marinade.
Dip the chicken strips into the flour mixture followed by the marinade and then the flour again. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before frying. This will ensure that the coating does not come off during the frying process.
Pour the oil into a deep pot over med-ium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken in batches and fry for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. The oil must not be too hot or the coating will burn.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain, then transfer to a bowl.
Sauce Add all the ingredients to a pan, cook for 5 minutes and pour over the chicken. Toss until well incorporated.
Waffles Preheat a waffle maker for 5 minutes. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the salt and the sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla essence. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Spray the waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray. Ladle the batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden and crisp. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve Assemble the waffles with the hot chicken strips and top with the reserved marinade. Garnish with the microgreens.

The Absolute Best Way To Season BBQ Chicken For Maximum Flavor, According To An Expert
Pork and beef cuts like ribs and brisket may get all the barbecue glory, but it's hard to beat a juicy piece of flavorful BBQ chicken. While more mild in flavor than other popular barbecue cuts, on the grill, chicken retains the strengths that make it such a popular choice for any dinner. It's affordable, easy to cook quickly, and it's a great blank canvas for all the charred, sweet, and smoky flavors of barbecue. You can make a great simple smoked barbecue chicken, yet nobody is going to be a purist and complain about you slathering your favorite BBQ sauce all over it either. But getting the most flavor out of barbecue chicken still requires some prep work. So we asked an expert, Chef Billy Parisi, a classically trained culinary school graduate and food blogger, for his tips on making the tastiest possible barbecue chicken. To start, Parisi says, "I first pat it dry on all sides to ensure a good sear. I then coat the chicken in a thin layer of oil to ensure the seasonings will stick and not bounce off as I season it." He also adds that you can put your seasoning in a bowl and toss the chicken for an even coating. But if you are sprinkling the seasoning on, Parisi notes, "Be about a foot away so that you can cover a larger surface area, ensuring every bite is delicious instead of just a few concentrated areas that were seasoned."

He advises, "When you do this, give yourself enough time. One to two hours won't do much; you need 12 and up to 48 hours." Parisi recommends you add a good mix of bright flavors like garlic, vinegar, and onions that balance the flavor of chicken and barbecue sauce well. If you want to take it to the next level, Parisi says you should try dry brining. As Parisi explains it, "You lay your chicken cuts over a rack on a sheet tray and season all sides with salt and pepper. Leave it uncovered in the refrigerator for four hours or up to 24 hours. This helps retain moisture while drying out the skin on the outside, resulting in a superb Maillard reaction." Parisi also has a few smaller tips. He says that if your chicken is whole, "It's absolutely worth opening the skin around the cavity, allowing you to get down into the thighs and breasts and add rubs, marinades, or simply salt and pepper." However, if your chicken is broken down into pieces, it's not necessary to get under the skin, which may even cause it to fall off. And finally, he doesn't add barbecue sauce until right before the chicken is done cooking so that it can pick up all the smoky flavors from the grill first. Chicken doesn't get more mouthwatering than that. Read the original article on Tasting Table. Solve the daily Crossword

Surprise: Your Oven Drawer Might Actually Be a Broiler
That mysterious drawer under your oven might seem like the perfect place to store baking sheets or those oddly shaped pans you rarely use, but it actually serves a more functional purpose. Depending on the model, that drawer could be a warming compartment designed to keep cooked food hot until it's ready to serve. It's a built-in feature meant to help with timing your meals, especially when you're juggling multiple dishes and trying to get everything on the table at once. Depending on your oven model, that drawer could be doing more than collecting clutter. In some units, it's a warming drawer meant to keep cooked food hot until you're ready to serve it. In others, it's a broiler drawer -- perfect for charring veggies or crisping up casseroles. And yes, in some cases, it really is just storage. If you've never checked your oven manual (or long since lost it), now's the time to find out what that drawer was actually designed to do. Now, if you're scratching your head thinking, "Wait, what?" don't worry -- you're not alone. Most of us have never opened the oven manual unless it was to fan a smoke alarm. But fear not! We're not about to assign homework. No dense instruction manuals here. We're breaking it down for you in plain, delicious terms. Here's how to decode your oven drawer's secret identity and how to use it without accidentally slow-roasting your muffin tins.

Depending on the type of oven you have, the drawer under the oven has different names. If there is a button on your oven labeled "warming drawer", that's what it's called, and can be used to keep food warm once it's done cooking. For Electric ovens, it may just be an actual storage drawer. In many older ovens, that bottom drawer is called a broiler, and can be used to cook or brown food like casseroles. If you aren't sure which of the three options you're dealing with, the easiest way to check is by looking at the manual for your oven, or looking it up online. Once you know what kind of bottom drawer your oven has, you'll know whether it has a cooking function, or it's just extra storage space. Does an oven storage drawer get hot? Broiler drawers are typically found on gas ovens and are very shallow. Chris Monroe/CNET The oven storage drawer is located at the bottom of your oven, and if it has a cooking function it can get hot. Is it a little complicated? Yes, but we've got you covered. Since the drawer is located under the main oven, it can easily get quite warm while your oven is in use. However, both broiling functions and warming functions require you to turn them on before anything gets hot. Even if your oven is currently being used, unless you turn on the broiler, your bottom oven drawer should never get hot. However, you may notice any pans stored down there are a bit warm to the touch, simply because they were close to the heating element when the oven was being used. What is the bottom drawer of an electric stove for? A storage drawer is usually much deeper than a warming drawer or broiler. Chris Monroe/CNET If there isn't a warming button and the area looks like a deep, empty drawer, then you probably have a storage drawer. As per a recent Reddit discussion, many people are unsure about what to keep in this space. This is a good place to store cast iron pots and pans, because the warmth from your oven will help keep them rust free. Just be sure not to store plastic items in this drawer, because they may become warped due to residual heat. Likewise, some older ovens have little insulation and may heat your metal cookware when the oven is on. As a precaution, always use oven mitts to remove cookware during or after your oven has been in use.

Dear Abby: My husband's relationship with my brother is crossing the line — and I have texts to prove it
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for three years. Most of that time, it has been perfect. Six months ago, we received some amazing news: We are expecting a child! This was a miracle. We had been struggling to conceive, and I had almost given up hope that it would ever happen. My problem is, when my husband and I started dating, my husband and my brother became fast friends. At first, I was thrilled that the man I loved got along so great with my family. But ever since the news of our pregnancy, they have become almost inseparable. They text constantly, and it seems almost every weekend they are taking a hunting trip or going to the casinos. My husband says he's just trying to have some fun before the baby comes along. Am I wrong to feel he should be spending more time with me, the pregnant mother of his future child? He's a great provider and a loving husband when he is present, but I can't help but feel neglected. One evening, we were sitting on the couch watching TV and I happened to get a glimpse of his phone. I noticed he was texting my brother (as usual), but then I saw the text from my brother: 'Goodnight babe,' with a heart emoji! I didn't mean to snoop, but I was shocked and couldn't unsee this. I immediately asked what was going on, and he very defensively told me it was an inside joke and that I shouldn't be reading his texts over his shoulder. I feel crazy for even thinking what I'm thinking, but could something be going on between my brother and my husband? I don't even know how to begin to confront this issue, and I'm afraid if I ask my husband point-blank, he will lie to my face. I feel lost and betrayed. Please help. — CRESTFALLEN IN COLORADO DEAR CRESTFALLEN: As thrilled as you are about this pregnancy, your husband may be less so. In fact, he may regard the approaching arrival of his child as a door closing on having a life. There are straight men ('men's men') who prefer the company of men over that of women. Because you are afraid to confront your husband about what you saw, have an in-person talk with your brother and ask him why he sent a heart emoji to your husband. DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for eight years. He lost his mom 22 years ago. Ever since her cremation, he has kept her ashes in the living room. It scares me because I believe in ghosts. I know it's hard to let go of our dear ones. (I lost my own mom a few years ago, so I know the feeling.) How can I convince him to take the ashes out of the house or put them in the ground without hurting him emotionally? — SPOOKED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR SPOOKED: Honey, if your late mother-in-law is coming back to haunt you, she will do it regardless of where her ashes are located. Yes, your husband is having trouble letting go of the remnants of his mother, but he's hurting no one. She may 'visit' you sooner if you push her out from under your roof.
