SEOUL CHICKEN

6-8 chicken thighs, skin on
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 tablespoons water
Xanthan gum, optional Place the chicken pieces in a gallon size ziploc bag. Mix the remaining ingredients, except the xanthan gum, in a small bowl. Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken. Close the bag and knead gently to coat all of the chicken pieces. Place in a shallow pan, just in case the bag leaks. Put in the refrigerator and marinate at least 1 hour, turning the bag over occasionally. Dump the entire contents of the bag into a 9x13" glass baking pan. Arrange the thighs skin side up. Bake at 425º for 35-40 minutes until the meat is done. Remove the chicken from the baking pan to a serving platter and keep warm. Skim most of the fat off the juices remaining in the pan and pour into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and lightly sprinkle the xanthan over the liquid while whisking briskly. Be careful not to let it get too thick. Stop before you think it's thick enough or you'll get glue. Serve the sauce over chicken. The unthickened pan juices can also be served over the chicken and are very tasty over Fried "Rice". Makes 6-8 servings

I added a little guar gum to the sauce to thicken a little, but it was pretty loose (but tasty). We got four servings of meat, with lots of sauce left over. Carbs are hard to determine since you don't actually consume a lot of the sauce. You can substitute any other bbq sauce. The meat just fell off the bones and was great!

Sprinkle the above seasonings to your liking onto the ribs and wrap them fairly tightly in foil. Place in a 9x12 baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for about an hour. Then, transfer ribs to an outdoor gas grill and cook for about 6 minutes on each side. (During cooking, I closed the grill lid, but used something to keep it propped it open about 1" or so for better temperature control.) When they are as brown as you'd like, remove from heat and serve plain or with low-carb BBQ or steak sauce

BBQ Pork Ribs

* 4 lb Pork Ribs
* 8 oz Tomato Sauce
* 1 T Red Wine Vinegar
* 1 T Soy Sauce
* 1 T Sugar Substitute

Put ribs in a large pot, and simmer gently for about 1 hour. Remove. prepare the above sauce by adding all ingredients to a small pot, and simmer for 10 minutes..

Return to oven for another 15-20 minutes...

The whole 4 lbs of ribs have only the carbs in the can of Tomato sauce.. Hunts is a total of 8 carbs. The soy sauce I used had no carbs. This dish can be made to your taste according to how much hot sauce or soy sauce you wish in it. Red wine is optional.

Country Ribs with Sauerkraut

* 10 Pork Ribs
* 1 pk Sauerkraut

Liberally spray a 9x12 casserole (I always use glass) with Pam or other cooking spray. Dump sauerkraut into the casserole, sprinkle with some caraway seeds if you wish, then lay ribs on top of the kraut. Bake at 350° for 45 to 60 minutes, until ribs are cooked through. We got two nights of dinners for two hearty eaters out of this; the first night I served the ribs whole. When preparing the leftovers for the fridge, I cut the meat up (removing the fat and bone) and put it all with the kraut.
There are only 2.5 net grams of carbs in a whole CUP of cooked sauerkraut and lots of fiber. Chow down!

Stewed Chicken

* 1 pk cut up chicken w/skin
* 1 cn rotel with green chilies
* 2 large onions
* 1 ds salt & pepper
* 1 ds Garlic Powder

For the onions, Vidalia if you have them.**

Season chicken (both sides) with salt, pepper and garlic powder (We use a lot of garlic powder.).

Saute chicken in pan. You do not need to add oil for there is plenty of fat from the thighs, back, etc. of the chicken. After the chicken is lightly browned, remove the chicken to another pan. Pour out 1/2 of the grease. Now saute your sliced onions in the grease until lightly browned. Add all the juice from the Rotel tomatoes & chilies and 3/4 of the can of the tomatoes to the onions. Cook some more. Now add the chicken, cover and cook until tender (about 45 minutes). This is delicious.

** Note: Carb count is net for 2 large onions. Vidalias are larger than most large onions and sweeter, so carb count is likely to be higher. (editor)
