I know I don’t really have to do any real selling here. We all know what potato wedges are and we all LOVE them. They make a great side for just about anything or are delicious on their own served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce (the Aussie way!).

You can make it with chicken breasts, thighs, or drumsticks and add sesame if you are feeling fancy, and the sweet, sticky, fruity sauce turns every bite into fork-licking gold (like the sticky sauce in both Bourbon Chicken and Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken). My food-loving husband has a longstanding weakness for Chinese fast food (specifically General Tso Chicken). We used to live within walking distance of a Panda Express, and on weeks when he’d had a rough time at work, he’d sweet talk me into heading over there for lunch or dinner....
