What's for supper?

[badwhale]

Today is wifey's b-day.

So, I'm doing a 3 hour smoke with chicken thighs. Prepped them by cutting off excess skin / fat. Poked the hell outta them with a fork, and applied all purpose rub. Let sit. Made salad, veggie tray, swiss chard / kale rabe. That's all done.

Got them in there on the 1st hour on the rack, just rub. Next hour will be in pans with some brown sugarwater, last hour has the "oh yeah" sauce on it.

I'm shooting for a better "bite through" skin this time. If not, it's still pretty tasty. Have the inlaws comin' over tonight.

And! I'm making a cake.

Sure as hell beats the hell out of my grilled burgers and peach pie ala mode dinner for my parents...

Homemade pizzas (as in dough and sauce) on the grill while my son mixed Mojitos as fast as I could get them down.
A toast and heartfelt thanks to those and their families who paid for the privileges I have.

Did a 2.5# chicken breast with bone in in the microwave. 7.5min per pound, flip half way. Guessed a soy sauce / olive oil marinade for under the skin.

Boiled rice / steamed broccoli. Yummy. The chicken carcass is in a pot now boiling to become broth for future use. Probably leek soup.

You lie.

You lie.

Huh? I guess you're one of those "purists" that don't cook in the microwave? I've met "you people" before.

I'll be damned if it isn't one of the juiciest / easiest ways to cook whole(ish) chicken.
