It's Cold - Throw Some Chicken on the Fire!
9/5/2010 10:05 am |
When it comes to things that burn brightly, it ain't just the sun that puts out some serious heat as I discovered once again last night. Call it what you like, yardbird is one of the more delicious things I typically throw onto the barbecue grill. Leastwise if it isn't the excessively fatty budget-priced chicken that is. Needless to say, I had a serious hunger for chicken last night so I made a trip to grab some yardbird. After all, it's Labor Day weekend and firing up the barbeque grill is second nature for me on a holiday. Ah, but I'm a cheap-skate at times. While perusing the assortment of chicken at the store, most of it was moderately high in cost. Let's see, $2.38 a pound for Washington grown chicken... too pricey. Frozen chicken at $1.28 a pound is reasonable but would take too long to thaw. Oh my, what do I spy? Something I should steer clear of - some southern grown chicken at $0.88 a pound. My mind says no but my stomach says yes. Stomach wins! So with only a moment of hesitation, I grab that pack of oh-so affordable chicken and make a bee-line for the checkout register. Less than an hour later, I'm firing up the grill to toss on my recently acquired chicken quarters. As I work on other things around the house, I periodically wander out to the deck to check the grill. At one point, I see excessive billows of smoke rising up from my soon to be evening meal. Lifting the lid of the barbeque grill, I back away quickly as I'm greeted by face full of flames. I snatch the chicken off the what seems more like a funeral pyre than a barbecue. Higher and higher the flames burn as large quantities of chicken fat that drizzled over the coals continue to provide fuel. I contemplate grabbing a fire extinguisher but the flames eventually stablize after a few minutes. When the chicken fat that has pooled was finally consumed by the blaze, I'm left with stainless steel barbecue which a bit more heat discolored than it was before.  Did I learn my lesson? Heck no. I'll continue to buy that cheap chicken and will probably singe more hair off my arm like I did the previous time I had another grease fire. Doomed to repeat my past, I'm addicted to barbequed chicken, plain and simple.

Welcome back!!! That's pretty good price for chicken. Happy Labor day!!!  Yep, eighty eight cents a pound is a pretty good price for chicken. Although in this case, due to my not watching the grill carefully, I had blackened chicken - and I'm not talking about Cajun style either. A little overcooked chicken isn't anything this boy couldn't handle though.

The picture alone made me laugh and the description of how you grilled the chicken-- priceless. Welcome back Spin. Never thought I'd see you here again.  What made you come back? After the D!ck Van Dyke episode.    within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

And yes, your friendly requests/reminders from our other social hang-out did indeed pay off. Speaking of yardbird, you, NLFL, and Jane82 are always welcome to stop by and have some barbecued chicken out on the deck outback. I promise I won't buy any cheap southern chicken either.

After the D!ck Van Dyke episode. Heh heh heh, you can thank our friend achtungbabyZ2 for my return. Her gentle reminders eventually wore me down. So expect more blogging. "See Richard write. See Richard write blog posts."

@NLFL, I know you've posted a comment but it just hasn't shown up yet. It seems the system treats your comments like a fine wine. Spoken with the accent of Orson Wells: "We will post no comments before their time!"

fine wine!!!! that's a nice consolation, Spin! If everyone here whose comments do not show up could be said to be treated like fine wine and all the others get to drink the wine, I'd say, FFF is one drunk place!! argue 4 ur limitations and true enough they are YOURS

@NLFL, your comments finally arrived. Only took about four days before I could see them. Now that's some fine aging of wine if you ask me. And as for your first comment - ah, chickens! It seems I'm somehow enamored with those feathered little cluckers in some way as I'm always writing about them. Plus they're just so finger-licking good on the bbq. And for the state of drunkenness in the community due to oddities in the system, I'd say there are times when people have probably partaken of Everclear. For those who haven't heard of Everclear before, in its nastiest form, it's the equivalent to 190 proof liquid death.
