Spicy Sriracha Wings With Cucumber Sour Cream

Everyone knows that the best chicken wings have crisp skin and tender meat, but achieving that perfect balance can be a challenge. In this recipe, which is adapted from Taku, a Japanese restaurant in Brooklyn, the uncooked wings are brined overnight in a combination of yuzu juice and salt, then fried for a good 15 minutes. The result? Surprisingly crisp skin and juicy, flavorful meat. Once fried, they're tossed with a spicy sambal-Sriracha sauce, then served with a cooling cucumber-sour cream dip alongside.

Braised Tongue

Beef tongue has none of the characteristic challenges of other ‘‘off-cuts’’ — its taste is clean and beefy and its texture is firm and fleshy. Once braised, be sure to peel it while still warm and return it to its braising liquid to remain moist. The cooked tongue will keep in the refrigerator for a week and can be used as a sandwich meat, a warm main dinner course, a cold meat salad for lunch — in almost all the ways you might use a beef tenderloin.

Manhattan Clam Chowder

The word chowder is said to derive from chaudière, the French word for caldron and the vessel in which the French who migrated to America from their coastal regions cooked fish soups and stews. In 1984, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey explored a hundred or more variations on the preparation of chowder and alighted upon what they deemed the “ultimate” Manhattan clam chowder. This is their recipe.

Little Onion Tarts With Gorgonzola and Walnuts

For the holidays, cookie platters abound, but for those without a sweet tooth, these little savory tarts are just as appealing. Caramelized onions and Gorgonzola on buttery pastry rounds, topped with walnuts and sprinkled with rosemary — what’s not to love? Perfect with drinks, they reheat beautifully, too.
