Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe
Ingredients
6 chicken thighs .
1/2 tsp oregano .
1/2 tsp garlic powder .
1/8 c vegetable oil (I use olive) .
1/2 tsp salt (add this to water if soaking) .
2 tsps lemon rind, grated (my addition) .
1/4 c lemon juice .
1/4 tsp black pepper .
1/4 c soy sauce

Directions
Step #1 Soak the chicken pieces in salted water for 20 mins (or just rinse if you're in a hurry), then pat the pieces dry & lay them in a baking dish.
Step #2 They should be a bit crowded, touching each other.
Step #3 Mix up the rest of the ingredients & pour over the chicken, then let this stand for 20 mins.
Step #4 Bake at 400F degrees for 45 mins or until until done.
Enjoy the Lemon Garlic Chicken Thighs recipe


Still trying to find a good Cuban lemon chicken recipe that will replicate what I've had in the Versailles Cuban restaurant in LA.

I've been so busy lately I haven't even had much time to eat. Crazy, I know. All I've had today is that salad, a shot of Tanqueray, and a nice sammich made of pastrami, pepperoni, mustard, lettuce, olive oil and cayenne pepper. I've got a case of Budweiser in the fridge but I don't know if I'm going to get to it tonight.

Funny story though--yesterday around lunchtime my boss gave me a flask and said "Take this home. It's some good Brazilian (something I forget) made out of cane sugar. It's very sweet but has a nice kick" He was horrified and unsure what to do when I turned it up and drank some. He likes booze too, but like most Americans, gets a little weird when he sees you have a drink at lunch.

Speaking of spicy peppers, a Jamaican friend told me a while back that nobody in Jamaica makes their own Jerk mixture from scratch, they just buy the premade stuff. So I bought some from McCormicks or however you spell it. That was a mistake. No heat at all. Good thing I had some high-octane Scotch Bonnet sauce in the fridge.

After many years of lawsuits, the drinkable stuff is available in the US now, under the name Czechvar.  Which means it's impossible to buy it without straining the eye-rolling muscles.

I like this stuff.  I usually buy them a dozen at a time

http://www.walkerswood.com/product_detail.asp?pID=1

I augment with habaneros as needed, as it's really not all that hot.  Of course it'll still blow the doors off of anything McCormick's making.

The traditional is really good for mixing up with ground beef for jerk burgers.  It gives them a really nice flavor and a little heat.

Walkers Wood is what my friend's part-jamaican girlfriend told me to get. So I'm definitely going to get that. Tonight I bought some pre-cooked chicken from the Harris Teeter deli. It had some herbs on it, and I added the heat. Also, I haven't been able to mentally recover from the aftermath of that fire so I'm going to forgo the training diet and I need a little oblivion, so we're having some of this



and a little bit of this



and a great deal of this



and maybe I'll be back in the swing of things after a few days. I'm hoping it will pass, but I have the strongest ennui I've ever felt lately.

Like happened with coffee years ago, I finally got a beer palate. I can really detect and distinguish the basic flavors. Thoughts so far:

Stout: bleh
Porters: eh, they're okay. Guiness is pretty good.
Ales: Good. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is f&%$ing fantastic.
Lagers: Tasteless but okay.

Ha! I am drinking a couple of those tonight while watching USF-Rutgers.  Saving the rest for OU-ISU and Texas Tech-Missouri on Saturday.

Steve,

1) Guinness is a stout, not a porter.

2) You misspelt "fucking".

3) Ennui? Dude I hear ya. The cure is MORE BEER. What was the problem again?

For your stout research, I offer:

1.  Young's Double Chocolate: for a beer drinker who thinks he doesn't like stouts and would like to drink one (even if it's a bit girlie)

2.  Beamish: a bit smoother and slightly maltier than Guiness, a true stout for those who want a somewhat softer beer

3.  Guiness Extra-Stout:  this is the original Guiness bottle, not the Draught can or bottle that have come around in the last few years.  This beer is not the same as your Guiness out of the tap, it's has a more metallic flavor and a much higher alcohol content.  For those who like a bite in the beer.

4.  Sapporo Black Stout (as if it could e another color): for the adventurous, who knew the Japanese could make a stout.  Well...I think they're very mediocre at it, a smoothish beer with not much bite, a starter stout perhaps?

Domestics and Craft Brews:

1.  Boulevard Brewing Co (Kansas City, MO) Dry Stout: a stout for the beginner.  This beer hasn't got a lot of body and is a little thin and watery.  Definitely for people who want to drink a stout because it looks cool, but who don't really like stout.

2.  Magic Hat Brewery (Burlington, VT) Heart of Darkness:  Delicious, my favorite American Stout.  ahas a nice bitter chocolate aftertaste, nice and malty, with just the right bitterness.  only drawback is that this is brewed seasonally--only in the winter

3.  North Coast Brewing Co. (Ft. Bragg, CA) Old Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout:  a super intense brew, very delicious, slightly metallic, hint of roasted nuts, a brew that is stout enough (flavor-wise) that one is good enough for me.

Some other darker beers you might try (these are not stouts):

1.  Old Engine Oil (Harvestoun Brewer; Dollar, Scotland):  a Scottish Ale that tastes faintly of barley, chocolate, malt, ad is slightly sweet.  sort of a dessert beer

2.  Old Peculier (Theakston's Brewery; Yorkshire, England): a full malt brew that has a slightly fruity nose.  worth finding here in the states.

Most (if not all) of these brews you can get in your better liquor stores.  So, drink up.

You "forgot" (I'll accept "didn't know about" in its place) Mackeson Stout (I hope you get it in the USA). A well poured pint can support a 2p coin on the head of the pint.

It's not a bad stout, although I have had better. Can be eaten with a spoon and is often used in hand to hand combat.

Damn you, Louis, I was going to mention Mackesons, which is a favorite of mine.  We do get it in the States, although I was surprised to find out that it isn't imported, but is brewed here under license.  

Interestingly, the US version of Mackeson's has a a higher alcohol content than the British version, 5.0% versus 3.75%.  Just further proof that you Brits are bunch of royalist pansies.

I have not had the pleasure of a Mackeson.  I will be going to Gomer's in a couple minutes to see if I can acquire one.

On the topic of Sierra Nevada PA: I've had better, but it is a nice brew.

I remember when I got to the USA 13 years and 2 months ago to live there for a while as an undergraduate I decided to use my recently faked ID to get me some beers.

Over Main Street to Tops Friendly Markets I went and promptly bought myself (and the roommates who would be arriving soon) three cases of beer. I bought Labatts Blue, Budweiser and one of the "new" ice beers (they were "new" in 1994 I was assured by the clerk). My new roommates arrived, introductions were done and then I broke out the beers. These fresh faced and lovely young American lads had barely ever seen a beer before. I explained the basic principles. Over the course of the evening's early section I noticed I had drunk the entire case of Bud by myself and had moved onto the Labatts. I was also sober as a sodding judge. I remarked on this to my new American chums (who were all drunk as beasts) who assured me that the strength of the American beer, it was not so good.

Frankly, as I have said on many occasions, until the rise of the microbrews and things like Pete's Wicked Ale etc, all the American beer I have encountered was like making love in a canoe.

Anyway, more of a Special Brew man myself! It's the drink of Kings and Tramps!*

Louis

* Seriously, never drink Carlesberg Special Brew UNLESS you are 17 and wanting to get horrendously drunk or are a gentleman of the road (that'a a Harold Ramp to you rhyming slang enthusiasts). It's horrible and ridiculously strong. Further reading drinking, se: Diamond White, White Lightning, Strongbow Super, Kestrel Super, Mad Dog Tewenty Twenty, Thunderbird, 40s of Malt Liquor etc

Surely, you must have had Genesee Cream Ale.  There is nothing, I say nothing, like the Creamer Screamers the next morning!  All the effectiveness of Phillips Milk of Magnesia with the added bonus of a pounding headache

Yup. Buffalo at SUNY Buffalo. Goodyear Hall, Main St, Buffalo. It was a great laugh. I almost turned up to a class once. (I've matured since then, honest)

Incidentally don't tell anyone, but I really enjoyed myself and loved upstate NY. Shhhh, my reputation as a Yank baiting UK nationalist King lover will be destroyed.

I did have Genesee Cream Ale, as well as a few other things that were perfectly good. But I had to discover these things by trial and error. There was a lot of error!

I can understand that.  God's country up there.  I like living in the Southern Plains, but have been jonesing lately about getting back to Upstate NY. I could do without the winters, but it would sure be nice to be back within driving distance of innumerable wineries. An old college roommate of mine has recently taken over management of his families winery and brewery.  They have a Trippelbock that is absolutely stellar and an ingredient in a great stew recipe.
