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...

Delicious and Satisfying: Herbed Potatoes with Cippolini Onions This side dish is a delightful combination of heartiness and flavor. Tired of the same old rice or potato side dishes? Look no further! The aroma of the herbs as it bakes will leave everyone wondering, "What smells so amazing?!" One of the best things about this dish is its simplicity, making it perfect for entertaining. With minimal effort required, you can focus on other preparations and still impress your guests. Here's a useful tip to ensure success: when cleaning the potatoes, make sure to thoroughly dry them, as any excess moisture may cause them to stick to the baking sheet, even if you use aluminum foil and non-stick cooking spray. **Ingredients:** - 2 pounds of Red New Potatoes, cut in half (remember to dry them if you wash them) - 1 pound of Cippolini Onions, peeled - ¼ cup of extra virgin Olive Oil - 2 teaspoons of Herbes de Provence (or substitute with dried rosemary for a delicious twist)...
