Guest CHEF G's TASTY CHICKEN SALAD Nothing fancy, just really delicious chicken salad. For this preparation I used dill-brined chicken breasts that I recently cooked, but you can cook the chicken any way you desire - seared, grilled, poached, baked, etc. Just make sure that's it's cooked all the way through. And don't be timid about adjusting, adding, or omitting ingredients to suit your personal…
Bourbon Street Chicken We were gifted with some really nice bourbon. We don’t drink it, unless we’re in New Orleans, where it’s a rule, so we decided to cook with some. Like wine if it’s good enough to drink, it’s just right to use in cooking. Patti’s favorite part of the chicken is dark meat and she created a really enjoyable marinade. She used white…
Guest CHEF G'S SEARED DUCK BREAST w/ SPICED ORANGE MARMALADE I had a sudden craving for duck and fruit...so THIS happened! Seared duck breast is one of my all-time favorite foods, and it pairs really well with a sweet orange sauce. I hadn't prepared a marmalade glaze in quite some time, so I amped it up a bit with fresh ginger, fennel, and cayenne…
Simply Delicious Roasted Chicken It’s hot here and tonight we wanted something simple and without a lot of fuss, but delicious. What can be easier than a chicken on the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker? I think pecan smoke in just magic on chicken along with a splash of “Big Dick’s” BBQ sauce. It made for a nice evening. Simply Delicious Roasted Chicken A Wood Pellet…
Guest Chef CHEF G's BAKED CHICKEN-WRAPPED MOZZARELLA STICKS Smoked and habanero mozzarella string cheese wrapped in seasoned and flattened chicken tenderloins, coated with seasoned regular and panko bread crumbs, then baked to tender perfection. Oh My Good-Good-Ness! There have been a few popular recipes trending on the interwebs for mozzarella-stuffed chicken bites, and I prepared a batch myself last week. They were tasty, but I…
Lemon Ginger Chicken Strips Ken wanted teriyaki chicken strips, Patti promised to do it better, and she did, without all the sodium of bottled teriyaki sauce. She had all the help she needed with Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts (this one chicken breast was over 2lbs.) cut into strips, and a marinade including Big Dick’s “Big Kahuna” Seasoning and Country Bob’s Honey Habanero All Purpose Sauce.…
Raspberry Garlic Marinated Chicken Legs We’re having a few Veteran friends over to celebrate Memorial Day. They wanted something “kid friendly” for the kids, of all ages, we know love our barbecued chicken grilled on our Char-Griller Akorn Kamado. The ultimate finger food is gooey chicken legs grilled to perfection. Patti made a simple three ingredient marinade and served the chicken with Ken’s famous baked…
G's MEXICAN 3-PEPPER CHICKEN Now I was born and raised in southern Louisiana, so I will eat just about anything. But my fiancé @jocemarie38 is not as adventurous as I am when it comes to food, so I cook a lot of chicken. SMILE! But that's cool because I enjoy the challenge of coming up with interesting chicken dishes to keep her tummy happy. This…
Mom’s Favorite Stuffed Chicken To honor Ken’s beloved Mom this Mother’s Day Patti came up with this recipe for her favorite food: chicken. To make it the very best we used Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts and stuffed this succulent chicken with some of our leftover Zaycon Fresh ham. A win-win of all natural, MSG and gluten free top quality meat. Ken butterflied the chicken and…
Guest Chef CHEF G's PAN-SEARED DUCK BREAST People often steer clear of duck because it can be rather intimidating at first, but duck breasts are actually very easy to prepare. Now I have prepared some very luxurious dishes using Louisiana wild game ducks that I acquired from local hunters there, but many grocery stores and some butcher shops offer processed packaged duck breasts that are…
Chicken Fingers Patti’s girlfriend Susie was having the grandkids over after school and needed a snack. The kids loved fast food especially chicken nuggets. Patti said she could do it better without the frying and chemicals in fast food. Zaycon Fresh chicken breasts were a must. All natural, top quality chicken breasts always cook up juicy and tender. We don’t fry, but with our Pacific…
Picnic “Fried” Chicken We love to go off into the woods for a romantic picnic. Of course, cold fried chicken and Patti’s famous potato salad is a must. Patti “fried” our chicken on our Louisiana Grill/Smoker because it cooked up crispy with the addition of a delicious smoky finish. She seasoned it just right with Swimmin’ in Smoke Chik Bait Seasoning. Colonel eat your heart…
