    Thanks, both. My wife’s desire for freezer space in anticipation of Christmas was what spurred the cook.

    Deep fried this beauty, then got super busy and it got pushed to the side. Might try some later reheated in the air fryer. 😑


    Love it. Where’d you get the recipe? Tell me you have some sort of aoli or dipping sauce to go with it!

    Not really a recipe. Just a basic onion ring batter, Lawrys seasoned salt and chipotle seasoning. Little bit more seasoned flour to stick, then freeze for a little bit while the oil is coming up to temp.  Usually make a dipping sauce of some sort to go with…. Little horseradish gives it some kick.

    Looks and sounds great.

    A very kind gesture, as is your usual M.O.

    @lousubcap You're a good man, as we all know. Have to ask though, do they fight or take turns to work on the days you deliver the goods?

    I haven't seen the final product but I'm confident I'd heartily eat a lot of whatever comes out of this.

    XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

    No idea how this will turn out. Had one more turkey to cook. Sectioned it out into leg quarters and cut the breasts into strips. Chicken frying it all tonight. Probably do some sort of wing glaze on some of it. 




    Finished:  I ain’t mad at it. 



    Glazed the wing with a combo of honey and buffalo sauce. 
    Frying the turkey in chicken is some next-level crossing of the streams.

    Going to take a turkey leg quarter to work with me tomorrow. Then just sit down and have lunch with the regular crowd. See who notices the ginormity of it. 😂

    Duck carcass is in the stockpot since 3 this afternoon, along with a quartered onion, celery, bay and cracked peppercorns (supposed to have a couple carrots too but they'd mutated).  House smells wonderful!  
    Duck-Andouille-Shrimp gumbo on the schedule for tomorrow.  I'm going to try a "baked" roux for the first time, two ways to do it:
    - Mix equal parts of flour and fat, bake in the oven, stirring every so often until the correct color, or
    - Spread the flour (sans oil) across a frypan or baking sheet, bake, stirring every so often blah blah, then add it to oil along with The Trinity and continue as usual.
     
    That second technique appeals to me as I can toast up a whole bunch (the toasted flour is shelf-stable) to use later, but that little voice tells me cooking in dry heat vs fat just won't be the same.  Anyone here try one or both of these methods?

    I make my own the traditional way Botch. I’ve heard of people using the microwave method as well




    Same here. I look forward to making roux this way. See no reason to change

    Not today. Made a bunch of pot pie filling a little while back to reheat via sous vide. Store bought puff pastry makes for an easy quick meal. 

  • Great looking meal and a nice pairing.
