    Carolina Reaper has been dethroned

    Lol! I'm with xray on this one. While I do enjoy "spicy" food, I guess I'm pretty much a wussie in the chilehead world. Scotch Bonnets and Thai's are about as brave as I can get, and whatever Nuke chile's it is that they are using at the local Indian Restaurant.

    Double D "Fried" Chicken

    Lol, kinda figured something of the sort. No worries, I remain in a perpetual daze myself, so I can certainly relate.

    Double D "Fried" Chicken

    You're welcome. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, that is my only complaint as well about the substitution, it being less viscous that real buttermilk. Sure could use a couple of pieces of your chicken right about now!!! :-)

    Beef Cheek Tacos

    Those look absolutely delicious! Taco's de Cabeza is my favorite dish from the few Mexican restaurants around me that actually serve "real Mexican food". And most of those are now using the cheeks for their Cabeza dishes vs actual cow head. That's some good stuff! FWIW, I've seen Beef Cheeks at...

    Double D "Fried" Chicken

    Thanks Forktender. Yes, that is what I was explaining to Disco in my post above. I make it the same way as you do as I only uaually need 1 or 2 cups at a time, and use it very infrequently. We make homemade Ricotta Cheese using either Lemon juice or vinegar for the acid in a similar manner as...

    Jerk Chicken

    Thanks xray. Yes, they were the regular dry bay leaves from the store. I just soaked them along w/ the wood chips & Allspice berries prior to using them.

    Jerk Chicken

    I used RO Hardwood Lump for coals. I haven't heard much about the oak when I was researching substitute woods for pimento, but the rumor of the oak staves appears that it could have some merit. I did however hear mention of some folks also using a 50/50 mix of cherry & hickory. Not sure if the...

    Thanks. I agree! I never knew how good it was until I first had it a few years ago.

    Jerk Chicken

    Thanks, not my idea, but it does work well to impart flavor when Pimento wood is not available.

    Double D "Fried" Chicken

    That chicken looks absolutely mouth watering, very nice! I saw where you mentioned that you can't always get ButterMilk in your area. You may already know this, but you can add 1 Tablespoon of white Vinegar per 1 Cup of Milk to make Buttermilk in a pinch. I do it all the time here because it is...

    Jerk Chicken

    Made some Jerk Chicken Thighs on the Akorn Kamado. Accented w/ a smoke foil pack of Cherry chips, Allspice Berries & Bay Leaves. Cooked indirect @ 300* to 165* IT. Then ramped up fire & charred direct for couple minutes per side. Very Moist, tender & tasty.
