Blackened Talapia... It's a beautiful thing....

Blackened Talapia... one of the prettiest and simplest foods to make... Although most people are confused on what temperature to cook it... I've found that the best temperature is a notch under medium heat for best results... Simply start out with butter and olive oil, place fish into pan... Season with your favorite seasoning on the first side and cook til the fish is white, half way up the side. Then turn the fish over and season the other side, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes... Then turn off the heat and flip the fish again... The residual heat in the pan should be enough to finish cooking the fish to 180... If the fillets are large, simply cover with a lid till 180 with the heat on low... Remember, when you cover with a lid it is actually steaming, not frying, so it is important to uncover and brown the spices before serving... And most importantly, Do not, burn the spices, it will ruin the taste...

Ahh yes, Alast, ...Wings...

Ahhh yes, my wings... It has become an addiction to most of my friends, as well as people I don't know that have tried them... My methods for these are simple... First using fresh wings, cut wing tips off and seperate wing from drumette, then dry with paper towell laying wings and drumette's separate from each other... Spice with seasonings, I divide mine in three sections... I use my white rub, red rub, and red rub with chipolte on each section spicing heavily on both sides... Then I mix my seasonings with the flour, a quarter cup seasoning to a cup of flour... I use my white rub in for the wings I spiced with my white rub and red with the wings I spiced with my red rub and red rub with chipolte (making two flour dredges)... Then dip the wings into flour and matched seasonings and back onto the tray layed out in 4 sections of twelve... Cover with foil and back to the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes... Then heat oil to 375 degrees and cook 12 at a time for ten minutes a batch, I've found that cooking at 375 brings a better flavor out of the seasonings, as well as cooks all around better than 350, making the skin crispy... Then cover for 15min. to rest... This is my simple methods on how to cook my wings... enjoy...8)...
