This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Shape like chicken legs and insert a wooden skewer. Roll in crumbs, egg, then crumbs again. Fry in deep hot fat (380 degrees F) and drain on paper towels.
cook's notes
A great way to recycle leftover meat. A thrifty variation on city chicken, this dish might or might not actually contain chicken.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
