For this last Throwdown I created an entry based on an old Southern favorite, Chicken-n-Waffles, but with a decidedly delicious SouthWestern twist.

The Menu
Boneless Thighs around Cheese Stuffed Pablano Chile, Wrapped in Bacon
Corn Meal-n-Green Chile, Buttermilk Waffles
Arroz Mexicana aka Mexican Rice
Grilled Mango with Honey Cinnamon Glaze
Sweet-n-Spicy Mango Salsa


The Yardbird

Start by marinating the yardbird overnight in Achiote, Cayenne, Cumin, Garlic and Lime juice
Then fire roast the Pablanos and skin/seed them, then stuff with cheese
Roll deboned/marinated thigh around chile, and then wrap in bacon
Toothpicks to hold bacon
Smoke over a mix of 60:40 Cherry/Hickory, 275° till an IT of 150° in the cheese.




Corn Meal-n-Green Chile, Buttermilk Waffles

These waffles are excellent, they come out of the iron with a wonderful outer crust and a moist inside.
Bits of Green Chiles and Onion in the buttermilk-n-cornmeal batter add bursts of savory flavor.
I highly recommend them to anyone that enjoys a good cornbread, especially a fried cornbread.

1C each Yellow Corn Meal, Masa Harina and Flour
2T Sugar
1T Baking Powder
1t Salt
2C Buttermilk
