Bacon Buffalo Bites, and some Dad's Day cooking

[Bob Correll]

Choose one or more reasons for me buying a large bag of frozen chicken nuggets at Costco.
Senior moment
Brain fart
Shopping on an empty stomach
The panko breading pic on the bag made them look extra good
They accidentally fell in my cart

Well they did look good, haven't eaten a nugget in years, so I thought they would be a quick meal when I didn't feel like cooking.
But the taste was boooring!
Rather than return them and get tossed (some chickens gave up their lives for these things)
I decided to see if I could jazz them up.

Partially defrosted, dipped in Texas Pete's hot sauce, bacon wrapped, and hit with pepper.

I cannot tell a lie, they were damn good!
This was an experiment, next time I'll make more, and do some without sauce for Jo.

Sunday our son and wife came for FD, and I made spares and chicken thighs.

Basted with a mix of apple juice and Wicker's.

Thighs grilled like RSC, but basted with Wicker's marinade.

5 hrs. later.

My plate.

Daughter and clan came Tuesday to celebrate FD, and Jo's recent birthday.
Two pics only.
A sirloin steak, and a 22 hour sous vide on a couple of boneless chuck short ribs.

And some burnt ends from a frozen point from the whole packer I cooked for Smoke Day.

That's all I have for now, Happy Weekend everyone!!

They look great Bob. Isn't it great to take something just ordinary and make extrodinary?

 

[Barb D]

That was a great idea Bob, looks delicious.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Nuggets look tasty Bob. That FD plate is mouth watering. The Burnt Ends look so good too.

 

[Ryan P.K.]

what a good idea to make chicken nuggets taste good. Good looking meal!!

 

[Rich Dahl]

Nice cooks all of them!

 

[Angie H.]

Nice way to kick up those nuggets a notch Bob! Delicious looking food all around.

 

[ChuckO]

Some mighty fine BBQ Bob!

 

[Craig Alumbaugh]

Those are some good looking cooks Bob

 

[Nate Frost]

Oh yeah!

 

[Bill Schultz]

I like that Nugget combo Bob, and the rest just looks delicious

 

[Tim McCann]

I'm pretty sure you could make an old shoe taste good Bob!

Mediocre food designed to be sold to people with no tastebuds and no ability to cook, redeemed by somebody with genius skills. I approve.

 

[NeilH]

Nice looking meal Bob!!

 

[John Sp]

Great cooks Bob. Very creative experiment withe chix nuggests. I bet you could have used golf balls and made that taste good with the sauce and bacon approach (might have been hard to skewer though)...

Regards,

John

Bob;
Great job on the chic nuggets! I am flat going to try them next time I'm at Costco. I'll just consider the nuggets a blank canvas on which to paint (sauce, bacon, etc.).

Thanks for sharing!

Keep on smokin',
