If you were to poll people who have embarked on a paleo path and ask them “what protein source do you most often eat?” chances are chicken would be at the top of the list. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways to prepare chicken, which makes life all that more...
The first time I made coq au vin for one of my Le Creuset cooking demonstrations, I was convinced that I was either going to burn my eyebrows off or injure some innocent bystander. Flambéing is dramatic, and always gets my heart racing with that noise it makes as it...
A few things to remember about chicken, barbecue, and grilling: always use tongs to handle your meat, store-bought sauce isn’t worth the gas you used to go pick it up, and it is really hard to screw up BBQ Chicken. This recipe calls for using the same cuts of chicken....
