Hot-spicy/8 recipes

This is based on a delicious Paula Deen chicken recipe. It makes a great appetizer and only uses 5 simple ingredients. I found the original recipe way too sweet so have modified it to be a bit less sweet and have added a spicy kick to balance out the sweetness.

Spicy slow roasted chicken. It is reminiscent of those rotisserie-style chickens that are so popular now, and it is very easy to make.

I changed it up a bit by using both a red and green pepper and a can of stewed tomatoes. I cooked on low for a full 8 hours which made the meat extremely tender.

I had this yummy and warm hot-pot with some homemade kimchee and a Korean style spinach salad. Real comfort food! Highly recommend this dish to everyone who likes Korean food.

My family loved this meatloaf! I used hot Italian turkey sausage and italian breadcrumbs; also, made the sauce with red wine. The leftovers were eaten before going to bed. It's a winner.

My sister was kind enough to share her wonderful recipe with me. Serve over any type of cooked pasta.

Gently spicy basil scents the juicy strips of beef in this classic Thai inspired main. Incredibly quick and easy. It's ready to eat in 10 minutes if your ingredients are prepped and wok or skillet is hot.

Create the traditional french onion soup in your crockpot with this easy to follow recipe.

Usually I have a certain degree of self control when it comes to my buttery treats. With this lemon cake, however, I will happily consume an entire loaf in a sitting without thinking twice. Do I regret it? NO! Bake it and you will understand. Thank you, Ina.
