Just some simple chicken legs

Did a few chicken legs for dinner last night. Nothing fancy. Just some John Henry Texas Chicken Tickler for rub, raised direct at 400 with some apple wood chips for a bit of smoke.

Threw on some asparagus when the legs were almost done.

Plated up. So exciting, huh? There was a salad too. In a bowl. No pictures cuz.... salad. Am I right?

Is it weird that Duke will not pick up a chicken leg and eat it? Usually. Most times we have to cut the chicken off the bone. I think its weird.

I think tonight I'll just cook some simple steaks. Or not. I don't know. What ever Mrs. G picks up from Central Market and tells me to cook.

    Looks simply delicious.  

    I know some people that won't eat chicken off the bone. It does seem a little weird when it's an adult.  Most kids usually grow out of their food quirks.

    Neat trick on the asparagus. I never think to do that sort of thing until after I drop several through the grate...

    It's the only way I do it. I've lost so many to the Gods of Fire in the past.

  • To this day, my wife and one of her daughters will not eat chicken on the bone.  I have to cut it off the bone.  Oh and (insert joke) neither on of them like dark meat.  Kills me.

    My good friends wife is the same. Must be a phobia. No meat on the bone. Crazy.

    When time permits turn couple of drums into lollipops and colour them bright with kid friendly sauce, Duke may bite!
