Today’s menu: smoked chicken. And wings.
Last night Kate and I picked up a roasting chicken and a bunch of wings (why are wings more expensive per pound than a whole chicken?). If I have time before I’ll try smoking some almonds as well.
Larry officially opened his new Bandit’s Wings restaurant yesterday (sorry, no link yet), and we’ve been getting wings there so often he probably thinks we’re stalking him. We’re officially hooked on the honey-garlic, and we keep going back for more. We’re hoping Larry can make it over for our smoked wings experiment tonite, because, well, he probably isn’t eating enough wings…
This morning I’m off with Calvin to pick up some more 2x4s for his treehouse. We’ll see how many we can fit in the Tracker.
**Update 4/20:** The wings and chicken came out great and despite my family’s protests of “we’re sick of smoked food” they ate it without further complaint. Larry never made it over, as Kate and I each thought the other was gonna call to invite him (turns out he had a family dinner that night anyway, but I still wish we’d invited him). Calvin and I brought over some of the smoked wings to his restaurant yesterday so he could try them.
We ended up getting eight 2x4s in the Tracker. Had to take the convertible top off to do it, but with the warm weather we’ve been having that was not a hardship. In fact, the top has been off since then.
