Superbowl Preview
The Super Bowl is all about snacks, chips, dips, and hand-held things that don't distract from the big game. Who needs to be messing with a knife and fork when the game is on the line! Here's some of my easy make and snack-able dishes.
Bangin' Grove Chicken Bites
Kinda' Sorta' Like A Certain Shrimp Dish But Not
These crispy, creamy, and awesomely spicy chicken bites make a great appetizer, topping for a salad, or awesome meal with some steamed vegetables.
This did start as a copycat version of Bang Bang Shrimp (or Bang Bang Chicken - they have that on the menu at Bonefish too, or at least did at one time). Because The Picky Eater is not only allergic to shrimp (hence the chicken substitute) she's also got diverticulitis and the pepper seeds that are in sweet Thia chili paste is a real pain to strain out. So, this is an alternative. It does not taste exactly like the restaurant version, but The Picky Eater says that this is actually better!
