done it before, almost as good as bdubs

i think the refrigerating helps keep the chicken from drying out in the oven, so don't skip it (i skipped it when i did this recipe, and the chicken got a lil dry…)

oh, and the cooling rack helps with cutting down surface area for the wings to stick to (making it easier to get em off in one piece).

i think liz has a recipe for baked mac n cheese? if she doesn't, i've done this one before. 'tis yumyum.

need a cast-iron skillet for this one, but it's easy and a good foundation for making steaks. tried it just last week.

Well this ought to be entertaining! To add to what your mom said, if you boil water with the pot lid on, be careful when you take the lid off to put the food in. Steam is HOT. Make sure you have protection for your hand and don't have your face over the pot. Her second point is also really important, but it doesn't always cause a disaster when you don't do it. I was making some brownies once, and I forgot to see how much sugar we had left, so it ended up being a twenty minute wait with the batter so far just sitting there and reacting while waiting for the sugar. They ended up being at least as good, if not better, than usual. Just remember that cooking is chemistry, baking in particular.

Good luck. Have fun. Here's all I know about cooking: (u know that's true)
1. Watched pots do boil, eventually, faster if you add salt and cover the pot.
2. Put out all your ingredients and utensils before you start, just to make sure you have everything you need!
3. Everything stains, at least on my clothes. So wear an apron.
4. Food tastes best when you cook it yourself.
