I recently made a vat of chicken stock using chicken backs, necks and a bunch of wings. When it came time to discard the backs and necks I just couldn't bring myself to throw away the little wing "drumettes". So I did this:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix finely ground almonds with ground flaxseeds (I used about 1/4 c each)
Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs and/or spices of your choice (I used a "Tex Mex" dry rub since it was immediately at hand)
Dredge drumettes in the mixture
Place on a baking sheet and heat until crispy.
Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice. I mixed some mayonnaise with a little tobasco, and also made some fresh guacamole.
While I was fussing with this, my kitchen co-conspirator was busy making some baked garlic:
Form a small baking dish with some foil (make sure it has sides at least 3/4" high).
Place about 2 dozen garlic cloves in your foil dish. (You can do this with whole heads of garlic, but we had peeled cloves on hand so that's what we used.)
Sprinkle olive oil over them
Sprinkle with salt, dried thyme, dried rosemary crushed in your palm, and pepper if you like
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35-45 minutes until the cloves are ultra soft and just begining to brown.
Place the cloves in a little serving dish. Spread the softened garlic on crackers (low carb of course!), baguette slices, or any other "carrier" that suits your fancy.
Enjoy!
