I love chicken thighs and think I do a pretty good job on cooking them. I have tried techniques that give crispy skin but have decided I like bite through the skin better. Skin that is not at all flabby, has a nice texture and doesn’t pull of the thigh when you bite it. I have come close but never got it quite perfect. Continue reading PIA BBQ Chicken
Most commercial bacon is made with a brine that is injected into pork. I prefer dry cured bacon. It is a little firmer and cooks up with a better texture in my opinion.

I have posted this recipe previously at:
I was making a batch and decided to shoot a video on how to make it. Here it is!
I love chicken with sauce, breaded, stewed and grilled. However, sometimes I make up a big batch of chicken with the idea of having it around for cold lunches and snacks. When I do that I like my chicken without any sauce and cooked at high temperature. I find the skin stays bite through while cold and the chicken seams moister. Add to that it isn’t as messy to eat with your fingers, Nekid chicken is my go to. Continue reading Nekid Chicken
I really like Tandoori dishes when I go out for Indian food. The spices are delicious. I would like to get something similar at home. This introduces two problems. Continue reading Tandoori Chicken Wings
I made bacon in my last post. A friend had given me some maple sugar. I was curious how it would taste in bacon. So I did a slab of Maple Sugar Bacon and here is how I made it. Continue reading Maple Sugar Bacon
