Not exactly sure.
Best potato side at a fast food? Wedges, regular fries, tots, crinkle fries, chips, baked chips, curly fries or something else.

Dear Fitzy,

I walked into my backyard yesterday and turned a corner and nearly **** myself because I was about 2' away from a group of 4 deer. Note that the deer were also freaked out and ran away. This brings me to my question.

What is the most annoying yard animal?
-Squirrel
-Rabbit
-Deer
-Chipmunk

Stuff that can dig under driveways and foundations are way worse than any of those.

I usually just use Italian dressing. Teriyaki and even BBQ sauce (slightly watered down) works well. I've created one using white wine, oil and spices but it's not much better than Italian dressing.
Thanks for the advice. I use Italian dressing for a pork marinade so I will try the same with chicken. When trying to grill chicken breasts, it usually goes from under-cooked to dried out very quickly. The marinade will hopefully help.

Lately I've been using the InstantPot to get some decent chicken breasts. I seem to be able to keep them somewhat juicy, and can throw some in and cook from frozen. YMMV.

Marinating is definitely a key point, I've also found if you tenderize/pound them out so they are an even thickness, helps a lot with getting them cooked evenly and taste worth while. I would agree, hind quarters or the whole chicken are my preferred cuts.

Anywoo, when you starting up that next game of mafia Fitzy?
Just read this and was reminded. Good question... May get a sign up thread going in the next couple days and try to start one next week.
