Smouldering Kabobs
This is a derivative of my Smouldering Chicken Thigh recipe. It uses a marinade that sounds ridiculously hot. But it comes out mildly spiced, but with a great pepper flavor. If you want, you can add water to the marinade to thin it out a bit. Here's how I make it.
Marinade:
1/3 cup Sriracha brand Hot Sauce
2 tbs. Tabasco Pepper Sauce
1 tbs. good soy sauce
1/4 cup of water
Remove the meat from five chicken thighs, or breasts. Cut into a 1 inch dice. Place into the zipper bag with the marinade. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
10 minutes before the time has elapsed, fire up the charcoal. When the fire is just about hot, skewer the chicken with cherry tomatoes, chunks of your favorite peppers, and pineapple.
Grill directly over the hot coals until the chicken is lightly browned. Serve with a good col slaw, and fresh fruit.
Another great way to use chicken is to soak in buttermilk, coat with the following flour mixture. It'll awaken your love of chicken:

Preheat the oven to 375' F.
In a bowl, combine the following with a wire whisk.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic powder
1/8 tsp. powdered ginger
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. rubbed sage
1/4 tsp. ground thyme
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. tumeric
1/8 tsp. red pepper
1 dash Chinese 5-spice powder
1/8 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. granulated onion powder
Heave frying pan with 3 inches of oil
Preheat the oil until fragrant. Turn heat to medium.
Preheat the oven to 360' F.
Make an egg wash from two whole eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk. Dredge the flour in the egg wash, then in the seasoned flour mixture. Shake off excess flour, and place into the hot oil, no more than three pieces at a time. Lightly brown both sides, then place onto a foil-lined cookie sheet. When all chicken is fried, place the cookie sheet into the oven and bake for forty minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
My 2nd effort while trying to create the perfect fried chicken, I put together this recipe. It was, and is the best seasoned flour recipe I've ever made. I share it with you.
So good!
Heat three inches of oil in a heavy pan.
Preheat oven to 375' F.
Again, whisk the following ingredients into a bowl:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup uncooked farina (cream of wheat)
1 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. red pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
Egg-wash
Follow the same cooking technique as in recipe number 1.
I've given this recipe to a few people who swear by it, and use it as their go-to recipe. One man went so far as to tell me that it's the only recipe he will now use. Me, I'll keep trying new things. If I don't I will just stagnate. But I will still keep making this recipe every now and again.
