I have made PIA (pain in the pants) chicken before. It is a lot of work. However, I have this defective gene that wants to make food as tasty as I can. I just can’t help making food the best I can regardless of the work. Continue reading PIA Cajun Chicken Thighs
It is getting close to Christmas which means we are very busy and don’t have a lot of spare time. That does not mean we can’t eat well. This recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to cook. No need for fast food! Continue reading Roast Chicken Thighs and Potatoes
I like Piri Piri Chicken a lot. It is spicy, savoury and so different from other barbecued chicken dishes. I have made several different versions over the years but I have never really put my mind to making the best I could using all the techniques. It was time to change that. Continue reading PIA Piri Piri Chicken
In a prior post, I showed a time consuming method for smoking chicken thighs that gives a great tender skin but is a pain in the pants. I am lazy but the result was so good, I decided to experiment with it further. I like honey mustard so I made PIA Honey Mustard Thighs. Continue reading PIA Honey Mustard Thighs
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
Here’s the problem. I love fried chicken. I hate the mess that fat frying makes. She Who Must Be Obeyed doesn’t want me to eat fried food. It seems my choices are limited. Continue reading BBQ “Fried” Chicken
She Who Must Be Obeyed gave her usual dinner instructions, “I got boneless skinless chicken thighs, you’re making dinner.” It was time to try something new. I like taco seasonings so I decided to add them to the breading in oven fried thighs and came up with Mexican Oven Fried Thighs. Continue reading Mexican Oven Fried Thighs
She Who Must Be Obeyed picked up some boneless skinless chicken thighs and the command was given that I was cooking them. I was busy so I needed to do something quick. I made Quick Jerk Chicken Thighs. Continue reading Quick Jerk Chicken Thighs
I am still messing around with my Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker and learning how to use it. We like boneless skinless chicken thighs because they have a nice chicken flavour but not much fat. The downside is they are hard to get perfect. If I cooked them over relatively high heat they seem to get rubbery. If I smoked them low and slow they were tender and had a good texture. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get a sauce to caramelize on the exterior. Sigh. Continue reading Easy Smoked Chicken Thighs
