The Grilling and Cooking Thread

I ended up reshaping the burger.  Muenster, Roma tomatoes & vidalia onions with some Beanee Weinee.  I'm a dipper, so condiments go on the side.  

Of course, I could only eat about half of it.

Okay, I actually took a picture before I ate it. The recipe posted earlier makes two generous portions, so I have enough for tomorrow. I don't have a wok but a deep frying pan or green onions.. It's delicious and tastes exactly like my favorite take out Chinese place at home.

There is a famous meat market in Mt Airy, my best friend's parents in Bethesda used to drive all the way there.  I got some of their hamburger for a cookout. I have no idea why but it tasted so much better than grocery store burger.

Found some Home Chef stuffed jalapenos on sale, they were awesome. 

Next is a chicken taco feast. 

And last night's beefy quesadilla.

Hard to beat the crust you get from the sear of a properly seasoned Blackstone.  Filets, salmon and a crab cake.

I "copied" your burgers with the Kinder's salt/pepper/garlic combo (different than your seasoning -  I think mine says "The Blend".  2 lbs of 80/20 ground beef and 1 lb of 90/10 ground sirloin,  2 eggs and an equal amount of parmesan. 

 

I formed them right at the grill.  Unfortunately I did not make them huge and I've got half the meat left.... maybe will do more later this week.

It's actually called Wagners by the locals, apparently according to Google it goes by both names.  I finally had one of them there Sunshine Burgers.  It was HUGE, as I had heard it was.  My only gripe was I figured there would be ketchup squeeze bottles at the table so I didn't order ketchup on it.  Do you know how many little packets of ketchup is required for a burger that large?

So how do you guys make wings?

 

I tried some on my kettle grill last week and they were pretty good but I want to see if I can do better. 
 

I bought a bag of frozen wings today at the store and some good wing sauce. Lemme know what you guys suggest, might try to make them tomorrow at lunch. 

[LadySkinsFan]

I do mine in the oven (apartment). I buy the frozen wings too. I start by putting them in the oven at 425° for about 15-20 minutes. Then I add some lemon juice,  garlic, veggie oil,  and poultry seasoning on them after I turn them for about another 15 minutes. It makes them crispy.

Lighter option on the BS tonight.  Chicken Caesar wraps in Joseph’s lavash bread, with homemade croutons from bread about to go bad and lightened up Caesar dressing.

I make sure the wings are dry - rub with paper towels. Then I mix spices (depends on the mood - five spice, old bay, garlic/onion powder, jerk seasoning, ground up Szechuan peppercorn, salt/pepper etc.) with baking powder (about 1 TBSP for ~2lbs).Then I toss the dry mix in a plastic bag & add the wings. Shake & put the bag in a bowl in the fridge for ~30 minutes. Spray a rack with oil, put the wings on the rack, smoker at 400 degrees, indirect cook for 30 minutes, flip & cook for 10 more minutes. Sauce on the side...Smash 'em

I’ll add to this…

 

Take ‘em off a bit earlier, and drop in 375 degree oil for a few minutes and behold the deep flavor of smoke with the crisp skin from the fry.

We air fry almost 💯 the time with ours. Fantastic kitchen appliance for frozen (or cold) items you want to crisp and also not have to deal with disposing of frying oil.

Air fryer is the way to go.  I use both compartments to make two different flavors.

A chicken breast on the Foreman (evoo, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper).  A pouch of frozen PF Chang's fried rice, I fried 2 extra eggs for that.  Mambo sauce for dipping.

My wife got some gooseberries in a bundle with other stuff from the farmer's market. I've never had gooseberries before.  So I'm makeing a non-traditional pork belly char siu that includes gooseberries and gochujang.  It's marinating now.  We'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

Here's the final product:

 

 

A little too sweet, and you couldn't really taste the gochujang.  Next time I'd reduce the sugar content and add more gochujang, but still good.

First time deep frying on top of the Blackstone.  Nashville Hot Chicken sandwiches.

Wife and I are basicaly alternating cooking for the week now, both babies eat what we eat now...
