Cornell Wings, Yukons and Sugar Snap Peas

[Don Cash]

Had the day off and asked the little one what she wanted for dinner...Wings was the answer! God love her!!

We love Cornell chicken so that's how we did these tonight.


Everything ready to go...

A yukon prepped and getting a head start on the chicken. My little CI skillet that I got for Valentine's Day filled with roughly chopped garlic and olive oil to brush the potato with every time I basted the chicken.

Chicken on, without the baste for the first 10 minutes.

First baste (10 minutes).

Second baste (20 minutes).

Third, and last, baste (30 minutes).

Put the beans on, drizzled with the leftover garlic oil, at the 40 minute mark.

Everything off.

Plated.

Phenomenal meal. My wife said these were the best wings I've ever made...I may agree. Potatoes were great too, maybe needed another 10 minute head start. Peas were great too. Tootin' my own horn here quite a bit, but when you nail it, you nail it!

Thanks for looking!!

Thats a fine looking meal Don. Tried the Cornell once, wasn't quite right to me. Gotta try again.

Don, there's nothing wrong with tooting when you need to toot!!!

Excellent meal. What was the baste??

FOR THE RECORD, YOU GUYS NEVER PICK ON MY FLAVOR OF BEER.........High Life is close to bottom of the barrel. I bet Bigwheel drinks it though!

Most of your beer is pretty damn good! And Don, like Larry said, toot when you can toot!

Peas (and everything else) look awesome...going to try that soon.

I tried Cornell Chicken once and loved it. Going to have to do it again real soon. Thanks for the reminder Don. It probably would work out well Santa Maria style - over direct coals with plenty of basting.

BTW: Did you use something like this recipe for the seasoning?

Not quite. We use the recipe from Cook's Country...a brine, a rub, no egg, some fresh herbs.

Brine: water, cider vinegar, salt.
Rub: poultry seasoning, s&p
Baste: cider vinegar, dijon mustard, fresh sage, fresh rosemary, olive oil
