I do maple or honey and cock sauce. It's amazing on smoked pork chops and roast duck with some 5 spice. Adding sweet to the siracha really makes the garlic come out


I sure hope that's Sriracha you're talking about....

Last night's dinner: Chicken baked in a lemon and white wine sauce, served with rice and asparagus. The rest of the family didn't like it, which is funny because my wife is the one who requested it. I thought it was absolutely delicious. Lots of leftovers for me!

Last night I attempted to recreate the Coq Au Vin (Chicken and Wine) recipe that I talked about back when I was taking International Cuisine. The recipe I found was more like a stew than the sauce we made in class, but as I was mildly pressed for time, I went with it.

Delicious, nice flavorful broth and chicken perfectly tender and flavored with wine and brandy.

Didn't get a picture of the dish as a whole, but this piece of chicken speaks for itself

You should watch the Kitchen on Saturdays. "It's 5 O'clock somewhere!"

Walk in to work today, open up the walk-in to start gathering stuff for my station, and come face to face with this.

Startled the hell out of me haha. It belongs to Chef, he's whole roasting it this Saturday for his dad's birthday, and he didn't have any place to store it at home. 160 pounds of pig.

Needs some kind of browning/crisping. Too watery

oh captain my captain, what's your favorite way of cooking chicken breast and how do you do it?

I'm having a hard time making it consistent if i'm cooking with a pan. On a grill, with help from Bacon or some good source of fat and brining, it comes out pretty juicy and i got some consistency.

here is my last attempt cooking it in a hot pan and flashing it in oven afterwards. I seem to lose a good amount of moister if i keep it longer in oven for more than 10 min.

Oven will suck moisture out. You can compensate somewhat by covering in foil, but you're still rolling the dice a bit.

Unless I'm doing it in a wine sauce or some other liquid medium, I always cook my chicken on the grill.

I think with something like this the wine plays a big part. Get crappy wine and the dish doesn't have the best flavors. Looks great though. Could you use the left over juices to make a stock or broth?

Honestly, I used a bottle that was literally labeled CHEAP RED WINE in big block letters. I'm not a wine drinker, it all tastes like bad grapes to me. The sauce came out magnificently, however. My father in law drank a couple sips of the wine, gave his usual shrug and said "It's wine".


They say with age comes wisdom :bigsmile:

I did save some of the broth, it's in the freezer. Not sure what I'll end up doing with it, but it's there.

I'm starting to like working the morning shifts, because the mexicans always cook up something delicious for a staff meal. Today, I walk in and Saul and Gustavo are working like mad assembling sandwiches. Moments later, this monstrosity is set before me.

Image

Ham, egg, chicken fried beef, hot dog, tomato, lettuce, onion, jalapenos, black beans, avocado.

The sight of the hot dogs put me off a little bit, but GODDAMN this was a good sandwich. I was able to eat half of it in one sitting (which almost put me in a food coma), and I munched on the other half throughout the day.
