The Count's Drunken Adventures In The Kitchen

I know we already have the drunken chef thread, but I'm going to start this anyway.  Almost anytime I snap a picture in the kitchen whisky is involved.  Don't let the beers with the plated pics fool you, I just crack one open to drink while eating since hot straight bourbon doesn't taste good with food to me.  The rest of the night is all WHISKY!!!  t didn't even know I had taken most of the pics I'm going to upload initially.  They date back to October 2015 or so and I just found them while uploading pics from the camera of a recent off-roading trip.
 
So lets start with Drunken Chicken Lo Mein…...
 

 

 

 


Next up is BBQ chicken, oven roasted potatoes and Ranch Style canned beans.  
 

 

 

 


Tostados?  I seriously do not remember making or eating these!
 

 

 
 
BK Double Quarter Pounder King inspired burger. Only time you will see me put ketchup on a burger is with a fast food inspired one. Otherwise...... no. There is 7 Pit Primo purée in the meat and Matouks on top with the ketchup and mustard. Fried pickle chips with Franks Xtra Hot and homemade ranch.

Man that looks looks hella dope! I like ketchup myself so no problem here, but the TB might be around :lol:
 
Tonight was General Lee Chicken (Tsos). I cut the chicken into chunks instead of thin slices as I previously posted here. I also added some of the marinade to the flour/cornstarch to make it have flakey bits to it. Turned out really good, gonna change my recipe to this. Didnt bother with white rice because

Grilled Boars Head natural casing beef franks and Merican cheese, crappy mustard, SmokenFires chili (AMAZING CHILI SAUCE), fresh diced onion and jalapeño.

The fries have some of the chili, shredded mexican blend cheese, Franks Xtra hot sauce and giardinera.

Making oven BBQ brisket flat today. I sold my offset smoker, and my Weber grills for that matter. Turns out I have wood allergies, which explains a lot of my odd reactions when Id smoke food or grill. So oven BBQ is what I make due with.

I prep the meat just like I would for smoking. Worcestershire injection, fine dry rub, mustard coating then a course dry rub. I cook it like you see it setup, with BBQ sauce, Worcestershire and water in the pan. I mop it with the vinegar sauce in the Mason jar every so often. Cook on the convection setting at 250 until around 200deg.

There is no smoke ring, but there is a nice crunchy bark. The taste is better than you would imagine, better than even the great bbq joints in central Texas. Tons of flavor and the pan liquid adds the moisture than wrapping it later in the cooking would. Plus I dont have fire red skin and burning eyes from the smoke of a smoker. It is topped off with a mustard based BBQ sauce, nothing short of amazing!

It was served with black eyed peas that were cooked with bacon, jalapeños and onion.
