Ingredients:
Popcorn
Butter
Salt
Herman's Hot Sauce
Spatula (for stirring)
Procedure:
Popcorn can be hot air popped, in a microwave or stove top, results will vary with the different methods used. But the taste results are pretty much the same, Hot and Fresh!!!
My favorite is the old stove top method. There are two variations to the stove top recipe, one is a little more entailed but the results are out of this world for you popcorn fans.
Hot air and microwave popped:
Use your normal method of popping corn but before you pour on your butter add 1 tsp of Herman's (1 Tbsp for the real hot sauce lovers) and mix in the sauce with your butter. You may have to test how much hot sauce to use depending on your amount of popcorn normally made. Once you do find your level of heat, it is just the best and what a surprise to the guests at football parties!!! Salt and Pepper to taste.
Stove top method:
Quick method; pop your popcorn as you normally would and mix 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp of Herman's in with your butter, pour over the popcorn, mix, salt and pepper to taste.
My Favorite!:
Prepare your oil, pre measure Herman's Hot Sauce, and the popcorn kernels. You have to be quick with this one because Herman's and hot oil will start to sizzle.
Get the oil hot and dump in the popcorn. Pour in the Herman's and put the lid on. (at this time you may want to put the hood ventilation on!) Start shaking immediately. Before the popcorn starts to pop you will hear the kernels less and less. Open the lid (carefully) and stir the popcorn kernels with your spatula to break them loose from the bottom. They will stick initially until broken up. Keep shaking!
DO NOT despair at the site of what the bottom of the pan looks like the best part is about to come!
After dumping out your popcorn, put your butter in the bottom of the same pan and get it sizzling. Take your spatula and scrape the bottom to break loose the hot sauce that remained. Stir and mix it with the butter. It will look like fresh ground black pepper on your popcorn when you pour it on but what a taste!!! Salt and Pepper to taste.
Always use caution with this method and do not turn away, you have to be quick with this one!!!
After trying these recipes please send me an email telling me how you liked it or if you had a variation that you used.
Thanks,
Herman
Ingredients:
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 to 3 Tablespoon of Herman's Hot Sauce (to your taste) or 1 teaspoon of Herman's Wild Pepper Dust *
1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* For large parties or for freezing use recipe as is, cut ingredients in 1/2 if using for smaller occasions*
Procedure:
In an electric food processor or blender, combine cream cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Blend well. You may have to float the mixing bowl in hot water to soften enough to easily mix. Add Cheddar cheese and process until the Cheddar is fine, but still very visible. Shape the mixture into balls or logs. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. While the balls are in the freezer, combine the ground pecans and parsley in a shallow bowl. Remove the balls from the freezer and roll them in the pecan and parsley mixture.
* Use caution (move slow) when moving pepper dust from the container to a recipe!!!
You may have the urge to sneeze, don't hold back, fun and good eats all in one recipe!
Ingredients:
1 to 2 pounds of wings depending on your needs.
Margarine
Herman's Hot Sauce
*Fresh minced garlic (optional)
Procedure:
Pick out the largest, meatiest and freshest wings you can find. Wash them in cold water, split them at the joint and remove the tips. Place them on a rack on a pan and refrigerate overnight to let the blood and water drain out of the wings. THIS IS A REAL KEY. Drying the wings under refrigeration will help to make them a much crispier product, once deep fried.
Heat the oil up SLOWLY, to 365 degrees F, and depending on the size of the fryer, deep fry the dry wings 6 to 8 minutes in small batches, until thoroughly done and golden brown. Hold the cooked wings in a warm oven if necessary. A combination of melted margarine and hot sauce in the ratio of 1 part margarine to 3 parts hot sauce will add the right zing.
The key here is to add just enough sauce to coat the wings - the more sauce you add, the hotter they will be. Working quickly, place the deep fried wings in a large bowl and add the sauce mixture, shaking to coat them.
Serve with celery and ranch dressing.
* On the stove top or in the microwave heat the butter and fresh minced garlic together for a nice garlic flavor, stir in the Herman's. Or you can do what I do after you coat the wings, open the jar of minced garlic and POUR IT ON!
