Beaver chili 

Breakfast fatties 

pulled pork 

shrimp kabobs 

sauage and peppers 

wings after the game 

So many good foods 

Maybe Gugny can set up a poll

Beaver chili ? ... I think I'll stick to alcohol ... If I'm going for beaver it'll be in the backseat.

we have some members that make awesome bloody Mary’s  

 

I like the Bloody Mary's made with Clamato. It's a Bloody Caesar and is a big thing in Canada.

 

Tito's vodka is a must--and is better than a vodka that costs twice as much.

When I was five... My Mother got the novel idea of roasting chestnuts in the oven. Well, she forgot to cut a relief vent.  Well they were popping like bullets, then she got the great idea to open the oven door.  We were running for the hills!  LoL...

chiavettas marinated chicken (for at least 2 days) is our group's favorite.  that crispy skin glglglglghh

You realize after 4hours the vinager is actually cooking the chicken right? Marinating over 4 hours is not good for you. FYI.

Why is it bad?  I think lemon/lime/citric acid would cook it "cerviche style", not vinegar.

 

???  Can anybody explain why it's bad?

This from the USDA:

 

"Piercing the chicken with a fork, or cutting it into smaller pieces will help it absorb marinade. In general, two hours of marinatingis long enough for the meat to soak up the flavor, but poultry can marinate for up to two days in the refrigerator, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service."

 

 

https://www.foodsafety.gov/blog/marinades.html

 

  • Storing marinated food: If things get busy and you end up not cooking the chicken, don’t worry! You can store marinated poultry in your refrigerator for two days. Beef, veal, pork, and lamb roasts, chops, and steaks may be marinated up to 5 days.

This is interesting.  The only info I can find online about marinating is telling me the health benefits to marinating; no risks (other than the obvious, i.e. - not reusing, etc.).

 

The vinegar is breaking down tissue, but I can't find anything about the vinegar actually cooking the meat.

 

Not saying you're wrong ... I just can't find anything about it.  I'm not much of a marinater, but I still find this interesting.

I make ceviche regularly.

It's my absolute favorite food.

 

I've been told the process will ruin the texture of chicken as it breaks down the proteins, and not to leave chicken in any acidic marinade for more than four hours, but that would vary depending on the acidity.

I would think this is the biggest detriment. Chicken can become mealy if marinated, and for the case brined, for too long.

 

And for @YoloinOhio who wanted recipes..here is our group's wing recipe

 

1) Lots of oil @ 360

2) throw naked wings in

3) Swirl cooked wings in big bowl with some Franks in the bottom, might even be some butter in the Franks  if  @mead107 has some after we forgot to bring ours!

4) repeat like 5 times with about 20 wings each batch

 

BTW, for those who have never had a breakfast stromboli to start their football day at Hammers..you are missing an essential part of tailgating at Bills games!

 

While the breakfast fatties are great..the sandwiches @mrags made @ the Monday nighter might be the best thing I have ever tasted at a football game

Interesting, I had not considered it from this angle.  Of course I notice that it turns pale during the process.  But from experience I can tell you that 4 hours is not nearly enough.  Overnight is not enough either.  Sure there will be flavor but it does not reach the bone.  For a Sunday tailgate, I will start the process on Friday night and over the course of the weekend I will rotate the pieces a few times to ensure even coverage.  Bone-in chicken thighs are my usual choice because they are cheap and have that wonderful chicken skin that crisps to perfection when grilled right.  No one reaches for any sauce, and at the end there is just a pile of bones - an indication of success in my book.  I do not notice any discernible change in texture, so if there is I would say it is negligible.  If there is any actual health hazard involved in marinating meat this long I'd be curious to know about it, if only to conscientiously ignore it like I do with most other such things at our tailgates :)
