Stuffed Tomatoes and Chicken Drumettes

We’ve always wanted to make chicken wings at home and since we can’t seem to find a decent chicken wing place in CA we decided now is the time to try it out! I bought a package of chicken drumettes and we put some oil and salt and pepper on them then they cooked in the oven at 500 degrees for 20 minutes. By cooking at such a high temperature the skin on the outside of the chicken gets really brown and crispy almost like it’s fried. Once the chicken is done cooking place it in a large bowl with some hot wing sauce and mix to coat all the wings. The tomato recipe is something I’ve been making for a long time. I really love the combination of spinach, bread crumbs, cheese, and bacon in the soft tomato.

Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe:
2 large tomatoes
Salt and pepper
3 slices bacon
1 shallot sliced
1 box frozen chopped spinach defrosted and drained
Nutmeg
½ cup grated parmesan
½ cup bread crumbs

Cut the tomatoes crosswise and dig out seeds, season with salt and pepper and place cut side down on paper towel to drain. Cook the bacon over medium heat and set aside. Cook the shallot in the bacon fat until soft, add the spinach and nutmeg to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Crumble the bacon and add to the mix in the pan. Mix in the parmesan and breadcrumbs. Stuff the tomatoes with the mixture. Then broil on high until thoroughly heated through and golden brown on top about 5 – 10 minutes.
