To burn the chicken! Well I found out Sunday! We've been buying our beer directly from the local brew pubs lately. 1. to support them and 2. to take out the middle man. Needless to say we have a great stock pile of high octane beers in the beer fridge.
Every Sunday I cook drumsticks for my lunches during the work week. I try and mix it up so I don't get bored. This past week Disco posted a recipe for marinating the chicken in milk & sriracha. Then dip in egg wash, seasoned flour, repeat. Cook in high temp grill 400°-425° for 30 minutes. brush with oil and cook until done.
I knew that the only milk we had was powdered. Usually we have powdered buttermilk but i used the last of it making some biscuits a few weeks back. I dug into the fridge and found a single serving (5.3 ounce) container of Greek yogurt. Okay in business. I mixed up a marinade as follow:
Single serve container of Greek yogurt
4 Tablespoons Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Mix up and place chicken into mixture. Marinate in fridge for minimum of 4 hrs, max 24.
Eggs have been short handed here so I didn't want to waste any for the dredge. I figured that the yogurt mixture was enough, this proved correct. Seasoned the flower with SPOG. Did the dredge then into the high temp 14.5 WSM.
Here's where things went sideways. I had been cleaning the garage all day. Around lunch time I thought it would be good to have a beer to wash the dust out of my system. Conveniently the beer fridge is located in the garage. See where this is going? So come time to grill the chicken I'd unknowing consumed a fair amount of high octane micro brew.
Got the WSM going in the backyard, went back to the garage to clean some more. May or may not have had another beer. Checked on the temp of the WSM, high temp and good to go. Put the chicken on, went back to the garage. Well lets just say my multi tasking skills at this point ween't up to the tasks at hand. So yeah the chicken got a bit more than crispy! Still tastes good.
Chicken Marinating. We have EcoDoor 2 gallon zip lock bags. We got them for homemade bread storage. I found that they work really good for marinating meats.
Dredged and ready for the WSM
Bit burnt but still tasty!
