I love to cook and I would consider myself to be very good at it. Cooking is absolutely a skill. Anyone that thinks it’s simply following instructions doesn’t cook enough, or cook well. Reminder to Wubby that half of chat probably cooks like Kay’s Cooking. Pictures of some of my delicious successes, and a failed loaf of sourdough from the last month for posterity.

Brine it in one of two ways:
- sprinkle coarse kosher salt over each side and leave in the fridge overnight
- mix 1 tablespoon of salt per cup of water into a “wet brine” which you soak your chicken in overnight

IN THE MORNING:

Put that shit in a marinade. Whatever you want it to be. Basic rules of thumb:
- oil as your base (neutral oils like canola, olive, etc)
Some form of acid like vinegar, citrus, etc
Seasonings
LESS SALT THAN USUAL BECAUSE YOU BRINED IT
Soy sauce or Worcestershire for some umami
Some form of sugar like granulated, maple syrup, honey, etc but only a tad
Emulsifier (some shit that mixes the oil, acid, and sugar together into one sauce) like Dijon mustard or an egg

Let that shit sit until dinner

Cook however you want, but for the love of god don’t boil marinated chicken, until it temps to 150, carry over heat will take it to a nice, safe, juicy temp.

Scran down on your grub wub cubs.

Every time Wubby tries a new game eg. when he played Minecraft for the first time I saw a bunch of streamers "beating Minecraft hardcore for the first time". Now Wubby started playing project Zomboid and mmmh would you look at that...... (before it gets out of hand, this is a joke I know squeex played it first)

I like thighs specifically because they're very had to fuck up.

If anyone has trouble with them I recommend taking the bone out and searing skin side down till its golden on the bottom or you see no pink more than half way up then flip over.

Because of how fatty a thigh is you can kill it twice and it'll still come out nice, it's a very forgiving cut IMO.
