How To Make Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Banana Bread Recipe Within 1 Hour!

This is the BEST sour cream banana bread recipe – it’s so decadent and loaded with chocolate chips! The sour cream really adds a lovely tang and makes a loaf of incredibly moist banana bread, not to mention uses up those freezer bananas of yours.

If you don’t have sour cream, you can make my buttermilk banana bread or check out all of my banana bread recipes, I’m sure you will find one that you love. I have an entire category of quick loaf bread recipes!

How to Make a Banana Bread Recipe with Sour Cream

First, don’t bake it when there’s a heat warning in your city, but if you do, bake it in your little countertop oven as I did! Man, that worked like a charm and I didn’t heat my house up during the hottest weather we’ve had this year! This is a super easy banana bread to make:

• Prepare a standard loaf pan

• Cream your butter and sugar together.

• Add in the egg, bananas, sour cream, and vanilla.

• Whisk together the dry ingredients.

• Combine the dry into the wet until just mixed together.

• Place in the pan

• Bake!

Banana Bread Tips and Tricks

• When you make a banana bread that has really moist ingredients (more so than usual, like in this case when we add in sour cream) you really have to bake it long and lower than usual.

• A lot of banana bread recipes are baked at 375°F, but I like to lower mine to 350°F. You reduce the risk of cooking the outside and having a raw inside.

• Check in multiple places for doneness, not just the very middle! Make sure it’s DONE!

• Cover the banana bread lightly with aluminum foil to prevent it from being too dark on the top. I generally cover mine when I see that it’s getting brown, then take it off at the end to make sure it browns up perfectly.

Hope you give this one a whirl! Happy baking!

How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Wings Within 25 Minutes!

These perfectly seasoned air fryer chicken wings are bursting with flavour, use simple ingredients and are crispy and delicious in no time at all!

Love chicken wings but don’t have an Air Fryer? That’s ok! We’ve got Classic Buffalo Wings (done in the deep fryer) or Baked Honey Sesame Chicken Wings (in the oven).

Air Fryer Chicken Wings Recipe

The nice thing about an Air Fryer is that you eliminate the need to use messy oil and a deep fryer. Not that I don’t love chicken wings in the deep fryer but the cleaning and smell from it are something I can do without. These Air Fryer chicken wings are delicious because:

• They are easy to make and require very little work.

• It’s super easy to clean-up the air fryer when you are finished.

• They aren’t greasy like they would be if they were done in a deep fryer.

• You get a nice crispy skin without the mess!

How to make Chicken Wings in the Air Fryer

This is a recipe my father-in-law came up with that is hugely popular amongst the family. It’s also a really easy seasoning that gives a bit of a different flavor to the wings than something like Salt and Pepper, for instance. This is a super simple recipe that ensures you have delicious chicken wings with a nice crispy skin in under 20 minutes. While we’ve seen plenty of other recipes that call for 30 minutes or more in the air fryer, I think that’s overkill and unnecessary so my goal with this recipe was to come up with a method that was quick and easy without the long wait and I feel like this one nails it.

To get started, you’ll need:

• 1 dozen chicken wings

• celery salt

• garlic powder

• black pepper

• baking powder

Step 1: Pat the chicken wings dry (both sides) using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2: Place the chicken wings in a medium-sized bowl and in a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients with a whisk.

Step 3: Sprinkle the dry seasoning over the wings and toss them to evenly coat them with the mixture.

Step 4: Heat your air fryer to the appropriate temperature (note: some air fryers require pre-heating. If yours is the type that does, now is the time to do it)

Step 5: Place the wings in the basket evenly spaced and not touching one another. Close the fryer and cook for 10 minutes, opening the air fryer drawer and shaking them at the 5-minute mark.

Step 6: When done, turn the air fryer up and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on how crispy / well done you want your wings.

Step 7: Remove and serve hot.

Questions and Answers

Can you use frozen chicken wings in the air fryer?

Yes, you can but it will change the temperatures. I recommend thawing them out and patting them dry as opposed to putting them in frozen. Anything you put in frozen will take significantly longer and may not have the same level of crispness given the large amount of additional moisture being added. However, if you insist on using frozen chicken wings, simply adjust your times and let us know what your final time was in the comments for others who have the same question.

Can you store the leftovers?

Of course, simply refrigerate any leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Can I make these in the oven?

Yes, you can. Simply follow the cooking instructions in our Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings post but be forewarned, they won’t be as crispy when done in the oven!

How To Bake a Potato in the Oven

The perfect baked potato is crispy on the outside and pillowy in the middle. Cracked open and still steaming, it’s ready to receive anything from a sprinkle of cheese to last night’s stew.

Baking a potato in the oven does require a little more time than zapping it in the microwave, but it’s mostly hands-off. You can walk in the door, throw a few potatoes in the oven, and carry on with your after-work routine until they’re ready to eat. Just don’t forget to set a timer! Here’s how to make an absolutely perfect baked potato every time.

What’s the Best Potato for Baked Potatoes?

Russets are the best for baking in the oven. The skins are thicker and the starchy interior has a sweet flavor and fluffy texture when baked. Russets are also usually large (about 6 to 8 ounces). One potato per person makes a good side dish or meal on its own.

Do I Need to Wash a Potato Before I Cook It?

Yes, you should scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water — a vegetable brush is great for this — and pat them dry. You don’t have to remove the eyes, but trim away any blemishes with a paring knife.

How Long Should I Cook a Baked Potato?

About 50 to 60 minutes at 425°F (220°C).

What’s the Best Way to Store a Baked Potato?

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat the potatoes, place them directly on the oven rack in a 325°F oven until warmed through.
