Colleen and I went to dinner last night. We shared an appetizer and a club sandwich for dinner.

While at dinner I sent out a quick text to a handful of players. Before dinner was over I had 7 confirmed and two probables for a 1/1 game that I'm going to host in a month :)
 


Slow cooked Bourbon BBQ chicken with charred romaine.

This was the best fucking grilled chicken breast that I have ever made/eaten. It turned out spectacular. Here is what I did if anyone cares/interested.

I found some of the fattest bone in chicken breasts that I could find. I didn't remove the skin. I just loosened it from the breast. I placed them in a zip lock baggie and marinated them in Italian dressing for 4-6 hours.

I fired up the grill creating a hot zone and a cool zone. I seared the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side directly over the coals before moving them to the cool zone. After I placed them in the indirect heat zone I added a couple of maple wood blocks to the coals and added a fair amount of kosher salt to the top of the breasts.
I closed the lid and cooked for 30 minutes. I then lightly covered them in some delicious spicy bourbon honey BBQ sauce that I made. Every 20-30 minutes I would add some more BBQ sauce. The breasts took about 2 hours to reach a 163 temp. Once they reached this temp I removed them from the grill, covered in foil, and let them rest for another 20 minutes. While they were resting I cooked the potatoes and beans.

We ate the pictured charred Romaine for an appetizer.

@Poker Zombie , these were pretty damn good. Knowing the chef that you are. Any suggestions for next time?

I'm not a fan of most Italian salad dressings - full of low quality soybean oil bringing no flavor whatsoever to the party.

What I frequently whip up at the firehouse is Boneless because 1 guy, nicknamed Silverspoon, won't eat anything with a bone - don't ask. Marinated in lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, pepper, and olive oil. I've also whipped it up at home using bone-in, and it was much, much better.

Dillon's (Kroger) had Bone in Ribeyes on sale for $6.99/lb so I bought 5 for the us and the in laws and grilled them up with some grilled cabbage and baked potatoes for supper last night. They got demolished before I could snap some finished photos, but here is one action shot. These were huge! thats a 22 inch weber the y are cooking on, they all averaged about 1.4 lbs. These were choice and were actually marbled better than the select, and also had less fat overall. Simple fresh ground pepper and coarse kosher salt. These were fantastic!

What seasoning? I usually apply just a touch of oil, healthy dose of Kosher salt and call it a day.

Looks like a solid sear/grill marks. Damn I'm hungry
