Maple mustard chicken legs with mashed potatoes & nutty green beans

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Chicken leg

Fry seasoning

Yukon Gold potato (not pictured/not used)

Sour cream (not used)

Maple syrup

Dijon mustard

Green bean

Pecan

The protein:

The chicken was rubbed with olive oil and coated in the fry seasoning and a bit of salt and pepper. These went into the oven for about 30 minutes the oven was preheated to 450 degrees.

The chicken will be coated in the sauce made from the Dijon mustard and maple syrup before serving.

The greenbeans:

These were tossed with a bit of olive oil and salt pepper.

Once the chicken had cooked for about 20 minutes the pain with the beans was added to the oven. These were allowed to cook for 10 minutes before adding the pecans and allowing it to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

The sauce:

Make the sauce the maple syrup and mustard word combined no additional salt or pepper we're at it at this step the sauce was heated slightly in a small pan until thickened.

The plate:

The maple mustard sauce year was nice but very awful looking visually. It took on the mustard more instead of balancing out. I was expecting a more red or brown coloring like the picture. The pecans in the green beans were nice too and I'm glad I skipped the potatoes because the chicken and beans were very filling.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
