Your chicken looks excellent the side dish of vermicelli looks good too. Do you have a recipe for that?

Perfect rice every time. It’s a family staple here.

But probably healthier. You can use your own chicken stock instead of the bullion. Just use the chicken stock in place of the water.

Winco’s finest. There’s just something about chicken leg quarters and summertime grilling.

We washed it down with that Costco bottle of New Zealand Marlborough Sauv B. Tart, crisp and clean fruit notes. One of the best $7 bottles you can buy.

$7 for a sauv........man, $7 up here might get you a quart of malt liquor.......
You need a second income if you want to take drinking up.....
I guess it could be a good thing......but if you like beer or anything on a hot day it's going to cost you a few hours of your paycheck.

I don’t understand why everything is so expensive in Canada. What’s an average income level there?

I would guess that their public healthcare system is the biggest reason.

I would switch to the same idea of healthcare the USA has in a heartbeat.

The google would tell me this......
I know lots of people on either side of this mark.
I also think that number is before taxes have been deducted from your pay as per the wording of it.

You ever " crack " the leg joint or cut a slice along the joint?
I do that with quarters to avoid that reddish look around the joint.

No but that’s a good idea. Usually if I cook them longer that red dissapears. But I pulled these at 175° on a high heat cook with JD as the smoke and flavor. Truly, summertime chicken on a plate. Love leg quarters.
