Before I even lifted a knife I knew tonight's dinner would be a home run with the tribe.
Reason being that a buddy at work brought me some of his excellent hash that folks go crazy over. All I had to do was thaw it out and pour it over some rice....easy....done.....no work involved. I'm not a big fan of hash but I have to say his is mighty good.
Already had some leftovers from yessaday so no work there, either.
So....what did I have to do ?
Cut up a smallish shicken and rub it down and try not to ruin it on the grill. Easy. Done.
Heck....I didn't even make up a batch of sauce, but used a bottle I had on hand of some that I've been waiting for the right time to use. Today I was lazy enough to bust it open.
Time to play with fire. A chimney full of Kingsford blue bag is the perfect amount of coals to cook a heap of stuff in their little 18" Smokey Joe....just about perfect for today's yardbird.
Had the lower vent at full throttle and the top at 1/4 and dropped it on after brushing off the grate.
It took exactly two Yang-Lings and then it was time to flip the parts.
One more and it was time to sauce 'em up.
And a final 'un to serve it up.
Yessaday's mashed taters were reinvigorated with a dose of Colby Jack & cheddar.
My bride thinks I'm a mad genius......and all I did was heat up some sides and put a knife to a shicken and toss it on some hot coals.
The real work was done by our grandparents and their grandparents who didn't have the luxury of microwaves & supermarkets.
I'm just a dude that is grateful for them paving the way. They probably would scorn how I spend the free time saved....Yang-ling & football....I'll meet up with them one day and apologize.
