Grilled Chicken, Turkey, And Duck Recipes
Big Bob Gibson's Alabama BBQ Chicken with White BBQ Sauce. In upstate Alabama this smoked chicken smothered with a mayonaise and vinegar based white sauce is all the rage.
Simon and Garfunkel Chicken. Skinless chicken with parsley sage, rosemary, and thyme, and a few other goodies (pictured at right). Yes, with the exception of the wings, that beautiful golden bird at right is nekked. More than one guest has pronounced this the best chicken they have ever tasted.
Cornell Chicken. If you like grilled chicken with crispy skin, say "thank you, to Bob Baker," a professor of food science at Cornell University. A specialist in poultry, he helped invent such wonders as chicken nuggets, turkey ham, and poultry hot dogs. But in picturesque Ithaca, NY, where Cornell is located, about 6 hours from Manhattan, he is best remembered for Cornell Chicken. In fact, the recipe has become so popular it is served all across Western New York.
Buxom Chicken Breasts. This is the recipe you want for when you have the gang coming over and you want to step up a notch from hot dogs and burgers. Flavorful, moist, buxom chicken marinated breasts. The secret is that skinless chicken breasts are like mini sponges. They absorb flavors beautifully. These breasts are designed to be eaten hot, but I have used leftovers as toppings for salads and even add-ins for omelets and quesadillas. The marinade also great for stir fry.
Smoked Chicken Geogia Style. Smoked chicken is like liver. You either love it or hate it. In the South, you can start a fight by voicing a preference for smoked chicken or fried chicken. For me, it's all about the skin. Fried chicken is worthless unless it crunches. Smoked chicken, Georgia style, is big, bold, and assertive, but the skin, although it is packed with flavor, is not crispy. The only way to tell which side of the chicken wire fence you're on is to try it. Fortunately, it's easy to make.
Chicken Piccata. This classic white wine sauce is great on chicken and is usually cooked in a pan. I have two versions, the classic, in a pan,and a grilled version. It's also great on pork or veal.
Chicken & Turkey Pot Pies. Pot pies are the perfect vehicle for leftover turkey, chicken, or beef. They may be the ultimate comfort food.
The Ultimate Smoked Turkey. Unbelievably juicy and tasty. You'll never go back to oven roasted. Throw out the deep fryer.
Bobby Flay's Tandoori Style Whole Turkey Breast. When it comes to meats, turkey breast may just be the biggest pain there is. Undercook it and you can get a bad tummy ache or worse from salmonella. Overcook it and it is cardboard. Here's a technique Bobby Flay shared with me when I interviewed him in November 2009.
Smoked Turkey Supper Salad. A main course salad with leftover smoked turkey. You'll love the dressing.
Turducken. Turducken is Cajun birdzilla, a novelty item, a real pain to cook properly, and when you're done, it is really nothing special. It's a turkey with a duck crammed into it, with a chicken crammed into it, with a stuffing, usually cornbread and andouille sausage, crammed into it. Except for the turkey's wings and legs, it is boneless, and after it is cooked, it is sliced like a giant meatloaf. Tur(key)-duck-(chic)ken. Get it? My advice? Don't bother. But if you have to try, here's how to do it properly.

Read this before posting a comment please:
1) If you are looking for info, please use the table of contents or the search box, at the top of every page.
2) Don't ask me any questions that involve temp or time unless you tell me that you are using a digital thermometer! Bi-metal dial thermometers are often off by as much as 50°F! If you are not using a good digital you have no idea what the temp really is so I can't help you. If you are still using a dial thermometer, please read this article about thermometers, then buy a good digital, and then, if the problem persists (chances are it won't), hit me with your questions. Then, please tell me everything I need to know to answer your question. Like the type of cooker you are using. Remember, I am not a mind reader.
3) Please don't ask me "What grill (or smoker) should I buy?" Read my Buyer's Guides and the buying checklists and follow the links. I've shared just about everything I know. Pay attention to the awards I have given my faves. I cannot pick the right cooker for you any more than I could pick the right car or spouse for you.
4) If you have problems posting with Internet Explorer, please read this. If problems persist, send me a note.
