How to Grill the Perfect Chicken Leg Quarter

-
Getting a “Leg Up” on the Competition  (I must preface this by saying that the following is a recounting of an actual event.) I can remember my first grilling experience on my own grill just like it was yesterday. My dad and I put my gas grill together, but what good is a grill if there's nothing to grill? So off to the store we go and come back with chicken leg quarters. My dad said he was going to show me how simple it was to grill. He proceeded to light up the grill, cranking it on high and then placed the chicken inside and put the lid down. “It's just like an oven,” he says. We then headed back inside the house, leaving the chicken quarters in a cranked-on-high gas grill with the lid shut. About twenty minutes later, my daughter tells me that black smoke is coming from the grill. So I run outside, followed by my dad, only to see fire coming from under the lid. Indeed, black smoke was belching out from under the lid. Once the fire had been extinguished, and the se...

Southern Sawmill Gravy and Biscuits

Something Good from Down South Having grown up in the North, I was never exposed to the wonderful delights of Southern cooking. For me, "grits" meant various grades of sandpaper, and "greens" referred to the colors found in the park. However, my culinary world was about to change with a delightful awakening. My kids' grandparents were from Tennessee, and over the years, they introduced me to the joys of good old down-home Southern cooking. The mere mention of hog jowls, pig knuckles, greens, and grits now elicits a respectful and heartfelt, "Them's good eats." Indeed, Southern cooking boasts incredibly tasty dishes, and I've learned quite a few recipes from these wonderful folks. Sunday mornings are known for "Dad's Big Breakfasts," as my kids endearingly call them. On these occasions, I lay out a feast "fit for a king," and everyone eagerly looks forward to these meals. Even when I decide to take them out for brea...

I Love Cooking BBQ

Got Gas?... or Charcoal? I absolutely love cooking, and I'm sure many of you reading this blog share the same passion. Whether it's the joy of preparing delicious meals or the pleasure of savoring them, cooking is undeniably a wonderful experience. And one of my favorite ways to cook is through BBQ. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to BBQ, and I, for one, adore charcoal grilling. That said, I own both charcoal and gas grills, and I enjoy firing them up equally. There's something quite satisfying about building a fire and tending to it – it's almost meditative, and it gives that manly, back-to-nature vibe that I can't resist. Furthermore, let's not forget the fun of roasting marshmallows over the fire with kids after dinner. (Charcoal definitely gets the kids' vote; otherwise, they might as well hold a marshmallow on a twig over the stove in the house – not quite as exciting, right?) Now, let's take a moment to explore some simple diff...
