martin_b Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi All, I'm ashamed to announce that after 40 yeas plus of BBQ'ing I've managed to make something totally inedible. It the past i may have produced the odd item that could be described as "well done" or perhaps a trifle dry, but yesterday I surpassed myself, the subject of my shame the humble chicken wing. Below is my tale of woe, The wife is away for the weekend. so its BBQ Sunday! Check the freezer for something to cook, and come across a carton of "basics" chicken wings they look OK but a bit plain so lets try and improve them. So far so good but its down hill from now on. I've had success in brining chicken breast for the stir fry so decide to do a similar thing with the wings, but as I'm in a hurry I don't bother to measure anything out, more is better right? Then to compound matters i forget about the things. So what I ended up with was chicken wings in a supersaturated salt solution for about 24 hours! Finally just to make sure things go wrong I give the wings a cursory rinse rather then the minimum hour shower then needed. The outcome was something so salty even the dog wouldn't touch it,. A lesson to myself that's its all in the preparation i think! cheers Martin 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 + 1 with Simon....we've all been there, mine was a chicken on the Jumbuck. Checked the IT and it was spot on, even in the drumsticks, wasn't when we started to cut into it....never we all learn one way or t'other. Ice.

sotv Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Need to get my eyes tested. Opened thread up thinking I was going to read about Incredible Chicken Wings and after reading your story was a bit confused till I took a second look. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 We’ve all been there, and it’s good to see folks posting about a disaster, and not always banging their chest and saying look what I have mastered up. 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 None of us is infallible, although, in my 71 years, I have met a couple who thought they were..... We never stop learning, right up to the day you pop your clogs. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
