Sunnys 1 2 3 Caramel Sauce Recipes

SUNNY'S EASY 1-2-3 SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH CITRUS-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. With your hands, coat the chicken entirely with Sunny's 1-2-3 Spice Rub. Place in a plastic bag, press out the air, seal and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, place in one layer on a baking sheet or tray and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
• Rest the chicken at room temperature for 2 hours. This is an important step, so you begin cooking the chicken when it is at room temperature. This allows the chicken to cook evenly throughout.
• Preheat a grill or oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken over the indirect heat of the grill and close the lid. If using the oven, put the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil and place on the center oven rack. Cook for 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the juice, honey and chili flakes if using.
• Open the grill or remove the chicken from the oven and brush each piece liberally with the glaze. Quickly close the grill lid or return the chicken to the oven and cook until done and the chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. Allow the chicken to rest, tented with aluminum foil, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, pepper, chili powder and salt. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

SUNNY'S 1-2-3 HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the lemon juice and yolks to a medium bowl and whisk together.
• Slowly stream the melted butter into the yolk mixture while continuing to whisk. Take your time with adding the butter. Once completely added, taste and season with a little salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to thicken.

SUNNY'S GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SUNNY'S 1-2-3 BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium low.
• Arrange the shrimp on the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each one. In a small bowl, vigorously whisk the lemon juice and olive oil. Brush this on both sides of the shrimp and let rest just 1 minute.
• Put some Sunny's 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce in a bowl for brushing on the shrimp; reserve the remaining sauce in a separate bowl for serving.
• Grill the shrimp until they just begin to turn color and become only slightly opaque. As this happens, flip the skewers and begin to brush right away with my 1-2-3 BBQ Sauce. Cook until the shrimp are almost completely opaque, just a few minutes more. Remove to a plate and cover lightly with aluminum foil to allow them to finish cooking through from the heat of the grill.
• Serve with the reserved sauce on the side.
• In a small saucepot over medium heat, add the shallots and enough olive oil to just coat them. Season with a pinch of salt and more pepper than normal. Saute the shallots until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup and cook until it loses its bright red color, a few minutes more. Add the brown sugar and cook until it dissolves and blends in with the sauce. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Taste again for seasoning. Use everywhere!

SUNNY'S 1, 2, 3 SPICY BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Combine drained and rinsed beans, undrained beans, yogurt, chile garlic sauce, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth while drizzling in a bit of olive oil to help the process along and to get the desired thickness.
• Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dollop of chile sauce in the center. Serve with nut crackers, pita chips or any dippables.

OH-SO-EASY CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring brown sugar, butter, and milk to a gentle boil and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla extract.

SUNNY'S EASY AS 1-2-3 PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the dough: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour, yogurt and seasoning blend and mix until combined and tacky. Scrape off the dough from the paddle and replace the paddle with the kneading (dough hook) attachment. Sprinkle in a bit more flour and knead on medium until a ball forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a big thin circle or divide the dough in half to make 2 pizzas.
• For the toppings: Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the dough, top the pizza evenly with the sauce and cheese, then the selected toppings. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.

SUNNY'S APPLE FRITTERS WITH PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the wet: In a bowl, stir together the apples, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, allspice and nutmeg. Set aside.
• Mix the dry: In a large bowl, add flour and a pinch of salt.
• Pull it together: Make a well in the center of the bowl of the dry ingredients and whisk in the beer until combined. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Gently fold in the apple mixture and let it rest 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Fry the fritters: In a large pot, bring oil temperature to 360 degrees F, so when adding the fritters, the temperature rests at 350 degrees F. Once the oil is ready, using a small ice cream scoop or large tablespoon, gently drop the dough into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 4 minutes total. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve with Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce.
• Melt the sugar: In a saute pan over medium heat, add the brown sugar and allow it to melt while whisking.
• Melt the butter: Once melted, add the butter and continuously whisk while melting until everything is smooth.
• Add the cream: Turn off the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking until smooth. (Don't get hit with the splatter!)
• Add the peanut butter: Add the peanut butter and turn the heat back on to low to help it melt into the caramel sauce while whisking for just under a minute. Remove from the heat, serve warm.

SUNNY'S EASY ROSEMARY AND THYME TOASTED NUTS

Steps:

• In a large pan on medium heat, add the rosemary and thyme. Toast until fragrant but not browned. Remove to a small bowl and add the paprika.
• In the same pan, add the pecans, almonds and walnuts separately in batches and toast, constantly tossing, until fragrant and a taste test proves each batch to be tender. This should take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes and will vary for each type of nut.
• Pour the nuts into a large bowl and season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle with the rosemary mixture, drizzle with the olive oil and toss.
