What is Russian Dressing?

With so many different salad dressings to choose from, you might not be sure which dressing is considered Russian dressing. Traditional Russian dressing is a tangy sauce typically made with tomatoes, vinegar, and a mix of spices. That’s why Russian dressing is usually red in color.

If you can’t find red Russian dressing in your store, the sauce can be replaced with other tomato-based dressings like Catalina.

What Does That Lady’s Chicken Taste Like?

The unique combination of Russian dressing, apricot jam, and onion soup seasoning give this delicious chicken recipe a sweet and sour taste. The sweetness comes from the addition of the jam. And the chicken gets its sour flavors from the vinegar and tomatoes found in the Russian dressing.

That Lady’s Chicken Recipe Tips

This four ingredient chicken recipe couldn’t be easier to prep and freeze! And with these preparation and cooking tips, you’ll be well on your way to a delicious chicken dinner for your family.

Avoid creamy Russian dressing. The key to getting the best flavor in your Russian chicken is to pick the right dressing. Avoid using creamy Russian dressing to make this dish. If you can’t find traditional dressing, you can use Catalina dressing as a substitute.
Use peach jam instead of apricot. If you don’t have any apricot jam on hand or can’t find any at your store, peach jam can be used as a substitute. This forgiving recipe can also be made with apricot or peach preserves.
Serve over rice. Once your Russian chicken is baked, you’re going to need some sides to go with it! Add some white, brown, or jasmine rice to the plate to go with your sweet and sour chicken.
Finish the chicken under the broiler. To get a nice glaze on the outside of your chicken, try placing it under the broiler for around two minutes. The heat from the broiler will help thicken the sauce, turning it into a delicious glaze over the top of each chicken breast.

Can You Freeze Russian Chicken?

Prepping the ingredients for your Russian chicken ahead of time is a simple way to get dinner ready fast. That’s because you can easily add all the ingredients you need for your Russian chicken to a freezer bag and store it until you’re ready to start cooking.

But even after thawing your chicken in the fridge, you’ll still need at least an hour to cook the Russian chicken before it’s ready to eat. If you want to speed up the prep time on dinner night, you can also cook the Russian chicken before freezing it.

To freeze your cooked Russian chicken, start by cooking the chicken as outlined in the recipe. The chicken can be prepared in either the oven or slow cooker. Once the chicken is cooked, allow it to cool completely.

Transfer the cooled chicken to a freezer-safe dish or freezer bag. Label the bag with the name of the recipe, date of freezing, and expected expiration date. Cooked chicken will stay good in the freezer for up to four months.

When you’re ready to reheat your Russian chicken, transfer it to the refrigerator to thaw. The chicken can be reheated in the oven at 350 degrees for around 20 minutes, until the meat and sauce are heated through. You can also reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat.

How Long is this Chicken Good For?

You can store your Russian chicken ingredients in the freezer for up to nine months before they need to be cooked. If you cook the chicken before freezing it, it will be safe to eat up to four months after freezing.

Once the chicken has been prepared, leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Make sure to eat your chicken within four days to enjoy it before it goes bad!

Freezer Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings

By Sharla

There’s no reason to head to your favourite restaurant to enjoy delicious chicken wings when you can easily make them at home yourself! And your family is going to love the flavourful combination of ingredients in these sweet and sour chicken wings. But the best part about this easy recipe is that it’s freezer friendly. Just combine the ingredients, pop them in the freezer, and cook them when you’re ready to enjoy a quick and easy chicken dinner.

Sweet and Sour Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken wings
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup

Freezing instructions:

Transfer the chicken wings to a large, resealable freezer bag.
Stir together the flour and water in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and ketchup to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Pour the sauce mix over the top of the chicken wings.
Seal the bag and squeeze the contents together to coat the wings in the sauce.
Open the bag slightly to remove the excess air, then reseal the bag and place in the freezer until you’re ready to cook the wings.

Serving instructions:

When you’re ready to prepare the chicken wings, remove them from the freezer and allow the wings to thaw in the refrigerator.
To cook the wings in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the wings in an even layer in a baking dish and cover the pan with foil. Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the cover and bake an additional 10 minutes.
To cook the wings in the slow cooker, transfer the contents of the bag to the pot of the slow cooker and set to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours.

Can I Cook Chicken Wings from Frozen?

While it may be tempting to reheat your chicken wings directly from the freezer, cooking chicken from frozen isn’t recommended. It can be difficult to evenly cook frozen chicken, which means you may end up with rubbery chicken that isn’t fully cooked in the middle.

Instead of trying to cook your chicken directly from the freezer, it’s important that you allow the chicken wings to safely thaw first. The night before you plan to cook your chicken wings, transfer the bag from the freezer to the refrigerator. This will allow the chicken to thaw while still staying cold enough to prevent bacteria from forming on the raw meat.

How to Quickly Thaw Chicken

If you forgot to take the chicken wings out of the freezer for dinner tonight, you might be wondering if there’s a safe way to quickly thaw chicken. Luckily, there is a faster way to thaw your frozen chicken than letting it defrost in the fridge overnight.

Start by placing your chicken wings (in the bag) in a large bowl or sink. After that, pour room temperature water over the top of the bag. Allow the chicken to sit in the bag for 30 minutes.

Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Legs Freezer Meal

By Sharla

BBQ chicken doesn’t have to be reserved for the summer if you have a slow cooker at home. With the help of this freezer-friendly crock pot BBQ chicken legs recipe, you can enjoy the delicious flavours of grilled chicken without the need for a grill at all. And since this simple recipe can be prepared in a matter of minutes, it’s a great option for a busy weeknight dinner at home.One of our sons is a huge fan of drumsticks, so I was thrilled to figure out a way to cook them at home that allowed them to be that perfect blend of tender and crispy.

Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Legs Recipe

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ¾ cups BBQ sauce, divided

Freezing instructions:

Stir together the paprika, cumin, and salt in a small bowl.
Place the chicken legs in a large freezer bag and add the spice mixture. Shake the bag to coat the chicken legs in the seasoning.
Add the minced garlic and one cup of the BBQ sauce to the bag. Squeeze the bag to combine the ingredients and coat the drumsticks in sauce.
Seal the bag leaving a small opening at the end. Remove the excess air from the bag and seal it completely.
Pour the remaining BBQ sauce into a medium freezer bag. Staple the bag to the bag with the chicken legs in it above the seal. Place both bags in the freezer.

Serving instructions:

Allow the chicken to thaw completely in the refrigerator.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for four to six hours.
When the chicken is cooked through, transfer the chicken to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush the chicken with half the reserved BBQ sauce.
Place the chicken under the broiler for one to five minutes, until the sauce starts to brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and flip the drumsticks over. Brush with remaining sauce and return the pan to the oven to broil an additional one to five minutes.

How Long Do I Cook BBQ Chicken Legs in the Crock Pot?

Cooking chicken in your slow cooker is a great way to help speed up the prep time. But since the chicken cooks slowly, you’ll need reserve several hours for cooking your drumsticks. Depending on how large your chicken legs are, they will be done cooking between four and six hours when cooked on low.

Can You Freeze Chicken with BBQ sauce on it?

Adding sauce and spices to your chicken before freezing is a great way to add some flavour to your drumsticks. That’s because marinade allows the flavours of your sauce to soak into the chicken. To prevent the acid in your sauce from breaking down the meat too much, it’s usually not recommended to marinate chicken for more than 12 hours.

But since the marinating process stops when the sauce is frozen, there’s no reason to worry about the breakdown process occurring in the freezer. That means it’s completely safe to freeze your chicken legs in BBQ sauce.

When you’re ready to cook your BBQ chicken drumsticks, simply transfer the freezer bag to the refrigerator to thaw. After that, you can prepare them on the grill, in the slow cooker, or in the oven.

Can You Cook Frozen Drumsticks in the Crock Pot?

Frozen drumsticks can be prepared in the slow cooker, but the cook time will need to be increased to ensure your chicken is cooked through. If cooking the chicken legs from frozen, allow for 8 to 10 hours of cooking when using your crock pot.

But while it’s possible to cook chicken from frozen in your crock pot, for best results I recommend thawing the drumsticks before cooking them. On top of being a safer method of cooking, giving your drumsticks time to thaw is the best way to ensure that they’re not stringy or rubbery when you’re ready to eat them.

BBQ Chicken Legs Tips & Tricks

This freezer-friendly chicken recipe couldn’t be easier to prepare! And with these baking tips and tricks, you’ll be on your way to prepping a delicious dinner for your family to enjoy in the future.

Always label your freezer bag. These frozen chicken legs will stay good for up to 9 months. Before you add the ingredients to your freezer bag, make sure to label the bag with the name of the recipe, the date it was frozen, and the estimated expiration date.
Try different cuts of chicken. These BBQ drumsticks are delicious in the slow cooker, but you can easily adjust this recipe for other chicken cuts. Chicken thighs or boneless breasts are also great options for freezing and cooking in the crock pot.
Keep an eye on the broiler. As you’re browning the chicken legs in the oven, it’s important that you watch the drumsticks closely as they cook under the broiler. The heat from the broiler can quickly burn your chicken and sauce, so make sure to stay close to the oven during this step of the cooking process.

Is it Better to Freeze Raw or Frozen Chicken?

Figuring out the best way to make use of your freezer is one of the biggest problems many cooks face while meal prepping. So, if you’re wondering whether it’s better to freeze raw chicken or frozen chicken, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll have best results when freezing your chicken raw. That’s because moisture is lost when cooking your chicken, which means it may become dry after it’s stored in the freezer for an extended period of time.

When using chicken for freezer cooking, it’s also important to remember that frozen chicken should not be refrozen after it’s been thawed. That means you’ll need to make sure to cook the chicken after removing it from the freezer to avoid wasting your poultry.

How Do You Properly Freeze Chicken?

The key to making your frozen chicken last as long as possible is to properly store it in the freezer. With these freezing tips, you can ensure your chicken tastes amazing no matter how long it’s been stored.

Choose the proper container. Airtight containers and freezer bags are the best option when storing chicken in the freezer.
Remove all the air. To keep the chicken from getting freezer burn, removing excess air from the container is essential. Make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible before storing for the best results.
Label the container. To keep track of the recipes inside your freezer, it’s always a good idea to label your containers. Write the name of the recipe, date of freezing, and expected expiration date clearly on each container. I also like to include the cooking instructions.
