it should store well for a while at room temp until you open it.  Then I would keep it in the fridge

I have only used fresh ginger root, never packaged, maybe that is the source of the confusion.

Yesterday I made chick fil a sandwiches. The sauce was good and the chicken was really good. I deep fried the chicken for a little too long so the crust was not the best. Also, the buns I picked up from CVS were moldy so I had to use regular bread.

All in all it was a hit. With a little more time to prepare I think I could do much better.

Next time I need to make sure the chicken isn't frozen and roll it out a little. I think the secret is adding pickle juice to the butter milk brine.

Frozen chicken and moldy CVS rolls.  There is room for some improvement.

LOL I mean it wasn't frozen-frozen, but could have been thawed a little more. As for the buns that's what I get for getting them at CVS that same day.

With chicken, I find that it is best to have them completely thawed and also I pound the chicken to have a consistent thickness. Works better when frying and grilling.

Who the fock buys buns from CVS? :lol:

Wife made wings; she's got a great technique to get them crispy if anyone is interested.  Two sauces: 1. butter, garlic, pepper, and parmesan, and 2. Frank's medium with some brown sugar.  I'm not usually a big Frank's sauce fan (I know, I know, heresy) but I liked it with the sweet evening out the sour I usually taste in it.

Same, always down to find out new ways to make wings.  One of my favorite things to do.  I grill and toss them in several sauces depending on who all is partaking.

Corn starch is your friend

For a sauce try my "allin1" Wing sauce

Franks/Butter/Celery Seed/Bluecheese dressing/parm  ( I add red pepper flakes for more kick, you can also add any simple sugar like BS/Applejuice/maple syrup to sweeten)

Combine in a sauce pan and heat to all are combined, always serve warn as it will thicken way up when chilled

She apparently follows the recipe from this link:  https://www.recipetineats.com/truly-crispy-oven-baked-buffalo-wings-my-wings-cookbook/

Basic steps:

Pat dry, coat in baking powder, bake at 250 in lower part of oven, bake at 425 in upper part of oven.

The Frank's sauce they listed is also one of the sauces she make last night:  Frank's, butter, brown sugar.  Megla's looks more interesting.  :cheers:

I'm still cooking a lot at home. Lately I've been making cheesecakes, romen noodles, Chick-fil-A, and pickling my own pickles.

What is the effort on that meal and is it worth it?

this is for chicken... I converted to pork loin

 

8 servings

4-6 lbs of chicken, quartered

1 medium white or yellow onion diced

3 bunches of green onion, chopped

2 scotch bonnet, chopped

2 cloves of garlic chopped

1 tbs five spice

1 tsp allspice

1 tbs gr pepper

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp gr clove

1 tsp gr nutmeg

1 tsp salt

1/2 c soy

1 tbs oil

 

In a food processor, combine the onion, scallions, chiles, garlic, five-spice powder, allspice, pepper, thyme, nutmeg and salt; process to a coarse paste. With the machine on, add the the soy sauce and oil in a steady stream. Pour the marinade into a large, shallow dish, add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring the chicken to room temperature.

Grill the chicken over a medium-hot fire, turning occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. (Cover the grill for a smokier flavor.) Transfer the chicken to a platter and serve.

 

You do not need to marinate over night, but 4 plus hours gives it more flavor... I also add a little more clove.  The chopping does not need to be precise, as you will be putting it in a blender/food processor.

Thanks, I will give that a try. I have never had jerked pork before.

 

Do you have a good recipe for Caribbean rice? Or should I just pull one off google?

pilaf method.... i do a combo of stock/pineapple juice and add minced pineapple, red pepper, onion.... garlic powder, tumeric.

 

or you could also go with coconut milk, lime, cilantro.

 

if you need to tone down the paste... br sugar or honey.

grilling, searing roasting are the best methods for tenderloin...but you could get a little smoke on it then finish on the grill....

one of my favorite bbq marinades/glazes (i use on ribs, chicken, pork chops):

5 tbs white miso

2/3 C hoisin

1 1/2 tbs minced ginger

1 1/2 tbs minced garlic

1 1/2 tbs sake or mirin

1 1/2 tbs soy

2 tbs br sugar

1 tbs sambal oelek

We are camping this weekend and I am cooking this again.  I will marinade the tenderloins for 2 days before cooking over an open camp pit on Friday.

 

It is an easier recipe to prepare compared to the jerked pork recipe, although I will try that some day.
