Tony, you know what the say about mama being happy right? You did good! 

Sometimes no matter how hard you try you are not going to win.
Bob is right on this one. I tried to win this battle too but I did not lose either, I call it a draw. When ever I make a tri tip, prime rib or any kind of roast like that I cook it to med rare and then when I pull the roast and let it rest I place a CI skillet on the grill and when she gets her slices she can put them in the pan and make jerky if she wants to with her slices. She is happy and I am happy. I do this at all Family functions too. Some in our family think if its not dry its not done. Go figure.
I wonder if pre cooking the chicken would help, Tony? I was thinking (I know, I know) if either steaming or popping 'em in a pressure cooker would do the trick. I realize it will be a pain in the a** to be cooking twice, but'cha gotta keep her happyHave you asked Pollo Loco how they make their chicken?
