Are you ready for another culinary challenge in the kitchen… complete with some Disney magic? If so, Disney has provided a recipe from one of the most popular restaurants in all of Walt Disney World: ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

‘Ohana

Remember, “Ohana means family.” And just in time to treat Dad for Father’s Day, we’ve got the recipe for ‘Ohana’s Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings!

These yummy sticky wings are served up as one of the tasty appetizers that are part of the all-you-care-to-enjoy dinner feast at ‘Ohana. It’s suggested that you serve them at home with a dipping sauce. (You may be well familiar with the peanut and sweet and sour sauces that accompany the wings at ‘Ohana.)

Ohana Appetizers featuring Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings

But before you choose your sauce, here’s the recipe for those WINGS!

Ingredients — Coriander Chicken Wings

• 1 tablespoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 pounds chicken wings or drumettes, patted dry

Ingredients — Honey Sauce

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup honey
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions — Coriander Chicken Wings

1. Preheat oven to 500°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine all ingredients except chicken in large glass bowl; stir to combine. Add chicken and toss to coat.
3. Divide chicken in single layer between prepared baking sheets and bake until browned and completely cooked through, about 35 minutes, rotating baking sheets on racks and turning chicken halfway through cooking.

Instructions — Honey Sauce

1. While wings are baking, combine ingredients in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens and reduces to a syrup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
2. Brush or toss baked chicken with wing sauce to coat. Serve with remaining wing sauce on the side or with preferred dipping sauce.

Disney has also provided a printable version of this recipe, which you can access by clicking here.

P.S. In case you also want to deliver some ‘Ohana dessert magic from your kitchen, you can find the recipe for the famous ‘Ohana Bread Pudding by clicking here!

Check out our latest review of dinner at ‘Ohana here!

We hope this recipe helps you create a wonderful treat for your Father’s Day celebration… or any occasion you choose to celebrate with the Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings from ‘Ohana!

Ewan McGregor Will Voice Jiminy Cricket in Guillermo del Toro‘s ‘Pinocchio‘. After being cancelled in 2017, it appeared Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio was not meant to be, that is until Netflix came in to save the project.

The new film is not tied to Disney’s live-action remake of the animated Pinocchio film currently in the works, but will be a Netflix original stop-motion film with Guillermo del Toro at the helm. The cast for Netflix’s Pinocchio includes: Tilda Swinton, Chritoph Waltz, Ron Perlman (Mangiafuoco), David Bradley (Geppetto), and newly announced Ewan McGregor as the voice of Jiminy Cricket.

A synopsis for the film shares, “A dark, twisted retelling of the famous Carlo Collodi fairy tale about the wooden puppet who dreams of becoming a real boy. When Pinocchio comes to life, he turns out not to be that nice of a boy, creating mischief and playing mean tricks. He eventually learns a few lessons.”

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is expected to premiere sometime in 2021, but it is currently unknown if the COVID-19 Pandemic caused delays in filming that could result in a postponed premiere date. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Entertainment!

Hey everyone! As the guy that writes the monthly previews for Disneyland, the last few months have been, umm, challenging. With that said, we now know when things are going to start to reopen! The parks won’t be opening until July 17, but Downtown Disney will be opening before that, opening select restaurants and retail locations on July 9. With that in mind, here’s a listing of the things that are on my short list at Downtown Disney when we’re able to head back!

Just Walking Around

I have to be honest: the thing I’m most excited about is simply being there. I love the sights, the sounds, the smells, and just the energy of the Disneyland Resort. As such, the very first thing I’m going to do is — nothing in particular. Maybe I’ll grab a churro or a coffee at Starbucks, but I want to find a beautiful Southern California day, and just walk around and take it in for a little while.  Bonus: Downtown Disney is a great place for people watching, and I plan to take full advantage of that opportunity while I’m at it.

Uva Bar

For me, if I’m not walking around taking in the atmosphere, the next best thing is sitting down somewhere where I’m still surrounded by great energy, and nowhere exemplifies that more than the Uva Bar. It’s located smack dab in the middle of the promenade near Catal (with whom it’s affiliated), such that you can enjoy a cocktail or some light fare while still being surrounded by the hustle and bustle of Downtown Disney. If, like me, you enjoy it as a nice afternoon respite but don’t want to get weighted down with a substantial meal, the Trio of Mediterranean dips, featuring hummus, baba ghanoush, and mouhammara with pita bread, and the Crispy Calamari with arugula, pickled peppers, and aïoli are great options to pair with a dry white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. For more substantial fare, consider the Lamb Burger served with piquillo pepper, feta, arugula, and lemon-dill aïoli, or the Fish Tacos.

Black Tap

Disney is, for many, a place to indulge, and there are few places that provide an opportunity to do that like Black Tap Burgers and Shakes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they have great burgers and all, but I’m making a beeline for one of the signature Crazy Shakes, which are essentially milkshakes that look like they are wearing a whole ‘nother dessert as a hat. Black Tap does have outdoor seating, providing the perfect place to do some people watching while treating myself to Sweet ‘N Salty Peanut Butter Shake.

Ballast Point

I am a fan of craft beer, and one of the newer establishments at Downtown Disney, Ballast Point, is one of the best places to grab a beer. Ballast Point has been brewing award-winning IPAs out of San Diego for a while now, and their Downtown Disney tasting room is the perfect place to get a flight and sample a few. They do have a patio, and the upstairs (if it’s open) provides a great view of the Downtown Disney district while sipping on some amazing brews. The Sculpin IPA is the flagship beer, but they’ll have a revolving selection of options as well to check out.

Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen

At some point, I need to have a proper meal, and for me, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen is going to be my first destination when that time comes. It’s got a large open-air seating area with a distinct French Quarter vibe, and the food is solid and remains one of the better options for a sit-down meal at Downtown Disney. I’ll be having some Gumbo Ya-Ya to start, of course, and probably some Barbecue Shrimp and Grits. Chances are pretty good there will be a Sazerac involved as well. All in all, not a bad visit, even without any parks to visit…

So, are you planning a trip to Downtown Disney when it opens in a few weeks? What is the first thing you’re looking forward to doing? Let us know in the comments!

“For it is plain as anyone can see. We’re simply meant to be.” – The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Just like Jack Skellington and Sally’s love, these new Bride and Groom shirts are a perfect match!

Love is in the air!

With wedding season in full swing, we are in love with these adorable couples’ shirts.

This Mickey Mouse Icon Bride T-Shirt for Women already has us feeling all the wedded bliss.

Fit for a Disney Princess

Okay, we know we are suckers for anything Disney Wedding related, but what bride wouldn’t want this pink and white t-shirt, complete with hidden Mickey in the “i!?” You can even coordinate it with this Mickey Mouse Icon Groom Shirt for Men if you like.

Here comes the Groom!

Both of these t-shirts are printed using Earth-friendly, water-based inks and are 100% cotton.

Olaf said it best, “love is putting someone else’s needs before yours.” Since weddings are supposed to be all about the couple, we are now starting to think maybe he meant that about buying them some t-shirts so everyone can know who they are

We Spotted Tons of New Disney Wedding Merch At Downtown Disney!

Will you be saying “I do” to these Bride and Groom T-shirts? Let us know in the comments below!
