Lately, my wife and I have been addicted to chicken drums and thighs lately. We have grilled them three times in the last 7 days!! Near the end of each cook, I removed the poortex and cooked some veggies.

First, I rubbed the thighs with my standard seasoning and the drums with some Sweet Ancho seasoning @jamesnomore gifted me during the last Secret Santa. They were killer!! The side dish this time was some marinated veggies.

The very next day, I marinated the thighs in Jamaican Jerk and the drummies in a Yucatán marinate made by a local hot sauce aficionado (CaJohns!). Side dish was some grilled broccoli!

Today, I am rubbing them in a new custom rub a made (mainly with cardamom, paprika, chili powder, and cayenne). Grilled cabbage is the side!! Grilled cabbage is wicked awesome fellas!! I'm letting the Secret out!!

My brother-in-law turned me on to grilled cabbage, but he actually steams it in foil (large wedges, not sliced up) AFTER first searing it.

I swear I couldn't figure out why we'd unwrap the foil to find the wedges with grate marks on them.

At least, I *think* that's how he does it. Never seen it in action actually.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

I am glad I am not the only one doing it! I think it is awesome with a tad of EVOO, S&P

Awesome cook and sounds wonderful. Your cooks seemed to have progressed a long way from when you first joined. I can't keep up with you anymore. I also like to see the large quantity of food. Not sure why, just makes me happy lol

Thanks for the kind words! I can credit it back to the enormous wealth of knowledge and advice on the WKC! (And a wife that gets bored with the same food all the time)

Love grilled cabbage. I started out so good and wholesome, just a brush of olive oil, S&P, maybe a little garlic powder. That evolved into wrapping it with a splash of beer, bacon grease and some blue cheese. It's killer good and I pray that the goodness of the cabbage cancels out the bacon grease and cheese badness. Lol

Oh yes, many of us have strayed down a similar path. Not to worry, dear child. All are welcome in the House of Bacon & Cheese.
