[Aardvark]

Fowl food

Prep time: 1 hour
Cooking time: about 1 hour

You Will Need
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
Zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 2 teaspoons zest, 4 1/2 teaspoons juice)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1 boiler-fryer (3 to 3 1/2 pounds), quartered

What to Do
1. In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, heat oil 1 minute. Add onion and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft -- about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 2 minutes more.

2. Add ketchup, bourbon, broth, molasses, vinegar, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and hot red pepper sauce and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes; set aside or cool, store in a container with a tight-fitting lid, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

3. Gently pull the skin back from the chicken to expose the flesh but do not tear or remove it. Place in a large self-sealing plastic bag, add half the sauce, seal, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Refrigerate remaining sauce until ready to use.

4. Preheat the grill or broiler. Remove chicken from bag, reserving sauce. Smooth chicken skin back into place and arrange chicken, skin side down, 5 inches above a drip pan over glowing coals. Cover the grill, leaving the vents halfway open (or adjusting for the wind and outdoor temperature). Cook chicken, turning once, until both sides are browned -- 15 to 20 minutes. Brush chicken generously with sauce and continue grilling and basting, turning once, until the meat near the thigh bone is no longer pink when cut -- 25 to 30 minutes more. Note: To broil in the oven, place chicken, skin side down, 7 to 9 inches from the heat and broil 5 minutes more. Turn chicken and continue broiling and basting about 15 minutes more.

5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refrigerated sauce from Step 3 until hot and bubbly. Serve as a dipping sauce with the barbecued chicken.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Prepare as directed above, but use the following sauce: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons each white wine vinegar, lime juice, and grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon molasses, 1 teaspoon each hot red pepper sauce, salt, and ground allspice, and 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Use sauce to marinate and baste the chicken. Makes 4 servings.

Tar-Heel Barbecued Chicken
Prepare as directed above, but use the following sauce: 6 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons each vegetable oil and firmly packed light brown sugar, 2 minced cloves garlic, and 1 teaspoon each red hot pepper sauce and salt. Let sauce stand at room temperature for several hours before using to marinate the chicken. Makes 4 servings.

FLORDIA STRAWBERRY CRISP

Super Bowl XLIII at Raymond James Stadium

Ingredients

8 cups - strawberries
½ cup - granulated sugar
1 tablespoon - orange zest
2 tablespoons - cornstarch
2 tablespoons - Grand Marnier liquor
1 teaspoon - vanilla extract
2 tablespoons - orange juice
Butter to grease baking dish
Streusel Topping (recipe below)


Streusel Topping
¾ cup - all purpose flour
½ cup - granulated sugar
½ cup - butter
1 teaspoon - vanilla extract
Pinch - salt

Directions
Chef’s Notes:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter the bottom and sides of an 8”x 8” baking dish. Begin by cutting the very top of each strawberry to remove the leaves. Then slice each strawberry in half and place in large mixing bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and sugar and mix. Then add the orange zest, Grand Marnier liquor, vanilla extract and orange juice to the second mixing bowl with sugar and mix well. Next, pour this mixture over the strawberries and gently fold together. Place the strawberry mixture in the greased baking dish and top with streusel topping. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!



Chef’s Notes- Streusel Topping:
Cut the butter into cubes and place in a food processor. Add the flour, sugar and vanilla. Pulse the food processor just until the mixture is combined, but still course and crumbly. It is important not to over mix.

Here in Miami there is an unreal Thai restaurant that serves Thai Chicken Curry that is to die for.

In the sauce I can taste coconut milk and other flavors but can't pin them down.

Anyone have a good Thai Curry recipe?

I've posted it elsewhere here at GC. And it's as delicious as it is simple

Grilled Hot Wings

Ingredients
---Chicken wings
---Rickey's Hot Sauce(not Rickey's Hot Wing Sauce)

Coat the wings with the sauce and grill on charcoal grill. Apply more hot sauce as the wings are grilling if you want more heat. Cook until skin is browned and crispy.

serve with celery, and either blue cheese dressing or bacon-ranch dressing

---------------------------------------

Killer Nacho's--
Tortilla chips of your choice--enough chips to go with the following toppings
chicken breast 1 LB(or more)
skirt steak 1 LB(or more)
1 tomato diced
Green Onions
Chives
Guacamole(of your choice)
can of Jalapenos
Sour Cream
Salsa
enough nacho cheese sauce
1/2 cup milk
Jardine's Fajita marinade

Slice the skirt steak and chicken breast into 1 inch wide strips and marinade in the Jardine's. Then grill the meat on charcoal grill. When done cooking cut the strips into bite size pieces. Being careful to slice meat across the grain).

Cut tomato into bite size pieces. Cut jalapenos into bite size pieces. slice green onions into thin slices

pour the juice from inside the can into the nacho cheese sauce and add milk to the sauce and heat the cheese over very low heat(crockpot works real well). finely chop one jalapeno and add to the cheese sauce. Add 1/4 cup salsa to the cheese sauce.

Heat the tortilla chips in large pan in oven at 250 degree til warm but not browned. Sprinkle jalapeno slices and meat pieces onto the chips and return to oven and heat til chips are light brown and meat/jalapenos are warmed.

Take out of oven and pour nacho sauce on top of the chips and serve sour cream, salsa, guacamole as sides. Or you can allow people to take chips out of pan and add cheese sauce and toppings themselves

There is nothing better than hot chips with cheese sauce and GRILLED meats

I believe the idea of gastronomics in the pub has died. Lets delete this thread!

[oldgator]

a simple colonial recipe for great candy

Snow Candy
large pan full of packed snow(preferably white snow) or clean frost from inside of a freezer(make sure it doesn't have any contaminates in it)) or very fine shaved ice

equal amounts of the following
Corn syrup
Real maple syrup(artificial maple syrup will not work)

heat the corn syrup and maple syrup in a pan at very low temperature. Stirring continuously. When mixture is heated enough so that when you take spoon out of the warm mixture it makes a long runny strand that flows back to the pan. You then pour the mixture in thin strands onto the snow. It freezes rapidly into an ice cold, hard, maple flaov candy that melts in your mouth.

This recipe goes back to pre-Revolutionary War days in the New England area. It also works well on hot summer days(if you've got the snow in your freezer)

I'm not sure what just happened here. I pulled up this thread to see some new recipes and ended up with a grid of fart noises.....

refrigerator whipped cream/chocolate cookie stacks--
artificial whipped cream does not work with this recipe!!!

ingredients
whipping cream
Chocolate cookies(Archer or other brand)

place the following on wax paper in a tray

Whip the cream. Then make a stack with cookie on bottom, layer of whipped cream, another cookie, more whipped cream, another cookie, and top with whipped cream.

cover with another sheet of wax paper and put in refrigerator for 6-10 hours
----

you can modify by --
--using other cookies(ginger cookies, molasses cookies,etc
--mixing few drops of vanilla extract, orange extract, mint extract, or extract of flavor you like in with the whipping cream before whipping it
--you can top the whipping cream on top with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, etc


This is absolutely awesome and sure winner with kids and anybody with a sweet tooth who likes Ring-Dings, Yodels, or Devil Dogs.

You can't use Cool Whip or artificial whipped cream because those tend to be totally absorbed by the cookies and it turns to a soggy mess. With whipped cream you get a desert that has layers of slightly thickened whipped cream in between the cookies.

[gatorfan5220]

Wow...sounds great
