Chris- Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Lemon chicken orzo with broccoli, courtesy of NYT Cooking. It was extremely good, though I should have added a little more thyme. All-in-all I'd give it 8.5/10, it was really good - the broccoli stole the show. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I bought a Traeger grill a couple months ago and I’ve been doing some awesome stuff. I did my first brisket a couple weeks ago and had friends over. It turned out damn good. Also done lamb chops with a chimichurri sauce, baby back ribs, country style pork ribs, etc. Honestly love cooking and trying out new recipes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Maple bacon baozi from ‘Let’s Make Dumplings’, a comic book cookbook. They were extremely good - the filling (bacon, egg, maple syrup, green onion) was phenomenal, and the dough was perfect - nice and soft, with a good sponge. My ability to properly crimp and fold is comically bad, though to be fair it was my first time ever doing it. All in all a solid 9/10 flavor/texture-wise. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 I'm doing J. Kenji's southern fried chicken tonight: The Best Buttermilk-Brined Southern Fried Chicken WWW.SERIOUSEATS.COM Chicken gets brined in flavorful buttermilk before hitting the fryer for a crisp, golden crust. Have the chicken (thighs and wings) brining in the fridge as we speak; will post final results later tonight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Flavor-wise these were an 11/10, the absolute dankest southern fried chicken you’ve ever had. Texture was a 9/10…the skin had all the best elements of fried chicken: flakey, craggly, bubbly, and cohesive with the skin (you rarely took the entire skin with you). And the meat was phenomenally soft and juicy. My technique has room for improvement - I got the oil too hot and didn’t compensate quickly enough, so some of the pieces (mainly the thighs) came out much darker than you’d otherwise want; didn’t affect the taste, but definitely a detraction aesthetically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I'm home alone this week, finished my third shift this morning and it was a shit show. I slept all day, went to Whole Foods after getting up and bought myself a thick grass-fed ribeye and some local craft beer. It'll be a late dinner, but I'll post pics when I get it cooked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 My buddy went in on a whole cow with his dad and gave me some extra cuts he wasn't going to be cooking. Today I smoked some short ribs. My first time with these and it turned out pretty well. They were delicious. And sorry, I I forgot to take a pic of my steak the other night. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy bone in skin on thighs and butcher the bone out myself for stock later, plus I dry brine my thighs w/skin on a full day before the brine. I do add whatever hot sauce I happen to be feeling at the time, I do double dredge them as well (first time then allow to sit up to an hour to get tacky before a 2nd dredge just before frying, be sure to keep the chicken wet enough to crumble the flour as well for those craggly bits!) I believe his recipe utilizes corn starch and/or baking powder for more airy fluffiness. So addictive!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in order to post photos you can only upload it to a hosting place. So you wasted your time and lied to us all and provided no food photos! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an account on one of those sites that I use like once every 3 years to do that on here and then I forget all my login stuff and have to make a new one.
