August 14, 20214 yr More home-made Nando's chicken breast -- tried baking this time, 22:22 at 350, worked out alright! 👍 Didn't pre-marinade it at all, I should probably try pre-marinading it next. Got some thighs, too.

Got some thighs, too. Good call, the stronger flavor of the thigh gets closer to the real thing. I have a whole chicken in the fridge, and tomorrow looks ripe to fire up the pellet grill. I think an overnight marinade is in order.....

August 14, 20214 yr You're showing that to an Alaskan. I only feel bad that he didn't get the chance to grow up.
August 16, 20214 yr It was one of those hot summer days, when too much grilled chicken is never enough. Bird on the left is just a dry rub for the little one who won't eat spicy food. Bird on the right was marinated in medium Nando's sauce overnight. All cooked at 390F for about an hour in the pellet grill, with lots of basting in more Nando's sauce during cooking. It was damn delicious. But it was still not quite Nando's.
August 16, 20214 yr Did you know you can buy that stuff (only the medium flavour, though) by the litre?!?!?

Pork chops obtained, will be trying them today or tomorrow. By the way, it's definitely the marinade -- I tried marinating a breast for 22:22 beforehand, then 16:66 at 400, and it came out perfect -- nothing at all like the restaurant, but the chicken was moist and perfectly done. I can definitely live with the medium heat. I can still taste it, so I'll be purchasing one of those liter bottles next time I place an order with Amazon. I still use the garlic as a condiment because their garlic sauce is easily my favourite, though I might doctor it with the bottle of hot I have. I also tried the lemon & herb -- I basically love all their flavours. It's definitely not the same as the restaurant, though, but I don't miss that char any more. I've gone through a family pack of chicken breasts all week, so I'm used to the baked/roasted (400 == baked or roasted?) "pristine-ness". I'm almost tempted to try them on my fish tails next.

Sounds great! Not sure about the fish though, I've had baaaaaaad experiences with people trying to marinate fish 🤢
August 22, 20214 yr Unless they're marinated in water. That seems somewhat intuitive. Salt or fresh, dependent upon species. That's not just a smartass remark, although it is that too, but I've had great experiences with brined fish.

(Ashman House make a whole line of them -- the Chipotle Lime and Citrus Wasabi are my favourites, but I've been trying to eat less spicy foods, so have been slowly going through the others -- the Lemon Dill is fantastic: https://ashmanco.com/retail-store/house-seafood-marinades-sauce/ ...)
August 22, 20214 yr Ceviche is generally made with some variation of white fish. Wondering how it would be with salmon? I may need to experiment. Salmon, shrimp and scallops sounds worthy.
