My Maria's Thighs

[Bob Correll]

I decided to spit in Old Man Winter's face yesterday and fired up the Santa Maria for a few KFC thighs.
(guess that should be SMFC)
Started some cherry and apple wood for a touch of smoke.

Plus a chimney of K mixed with a few Stubbs.

Found some in husk corn at the store, stated it was from the USA, but I have no idea where.
Nothing but butter, salt, and pepper on the corn and potato.

Everything was great, even the corn was surprisingly very good.

Hang tough all of you hardy, winter climate dwelling souls!

Terrific meal Bob.

Good for you Bob! We don't get the kind of winters our brothers do back east, but even I'm getting sick of the rain and wind here. Seeing the Santa Maria fired up does the soul good! What better than some KFC and that does look good, I'd love that plate myself!

 

[Bill Schultz]

Very tasty Bob, got to get me one of those grills

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks fantastic Bob. Gorgeous looking chicken and plate under adverse conditions. Photos are fantastic!

The skin on that chicken looks amazing. Can you tell me how it was prepped? Thanks

 

[Mildo]

Unbelievable! Those your SMFC looks like my fried chicken - whole submerged in oil. It looks perfectly cooked, really. Nice SM winter cooking my friend.

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

Those thighs look tasty from here!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Great lookin grillin Robert!
If I were to spit into the wind here, an ice cube would get blown into my face.
The temps this winter are nearly unbearable.. Good to have a hot grill nearby!

Great looking chicken Bill, the Santa Maria did a great job and the sides finished off the dinner.

Thanks everyone, you are all too kind!

Al,
As far as I know the first to post this here was another Al.
I dampened the thighs with water, then shook them in a bag with Andy's chicken seasoning, and gave a light spray of oil.

Careful what you wish for, Rich.

Really nice lookin' chicken, Bob! I'm glad you still have the gumption to take on Ol' Man Winter.

Looks good, Bob. I've never met a piece of fried chicken I didn't like, but yours looks like it would be at the top!

 

[Jason Noble]

Way to brave the elements. Spring will be here before you know it.

Looks cold Bob! Food looks good though.
