tony b Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks to a kind and anonymous benefactor, I received some packets of Swiss Chalet chicken marinade and dipping sauce. So, last night's dinner was the first sampling. A definite winner, winner, chicken dinner! (Sorry, couldn't resisit!) I mixed up the marinade and injected it into the whole chicken and let is rest in the fridge, uncovered overnight. Rubbed with oil and dusted with a mix of Yardbird and SPG. Onto the KK, indirect, @ 325F to start, over hickory and peach woods. After an hour, ramped up to 375F for the last 20 minutes to crisp up the skin. Plated with smashed potatoes and roasted brussel sprouts. Don't forget the special dipping sauce! Money Shot!
tinyfish Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Tony, looks like a winner winner chicken dinner to me too.
MacKenzie Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Tony, lucky you being the receiver of some Chicken Chalet marinade and dipping sauce because that dinner looks very tasty. It sounds wonderful and looks the same:)
tony b Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks! Never having had the original, was on a blind taste test/experiment, but it really was tasty. The sauce was a definitely surprise, but worked well with the marinated chicken, the white meat in particular.
bosco Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Swiss Chalet marinade is the bomb!!!! Next time try a bit more on the skin as it makes some of the tastiest skin!!!! The chalet sauce... I don't know what it is but man its gooooooood!!!! This dinner looks great!! way to represent Canada buddy!!!
Poochie Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Scrumptious meal, Tony. I'd love to have the leftovers! Looks like you nailed it!
kjs Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Tony, I never heard of this, but after a little research, and seeing your post and pics, I believe I will have to purchase a package of the marinade, and give it a try. P.S. Love the "winner, winner, chicken dinner"
CeramicChef Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 That cook is bang on GORGEOUS! Wonderful color and money shots. Kudos!
tony b Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 I did a quick look and you can get the marinade and dipping sauce mixes on Amazon for anyone else that wants to try it. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_13?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=swiss+chalet+sauce&sprefix=swiss+chalet+%2Caps%2C157 Thanks for the tip, Bosco. I'll do that next time. When I mixed up the dipping sauce, it has a Worcestershire sauce aroma, so there might be some of that in the mix.
tony b Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah, I know, but this was a great dry white (semillion and sauv blanc) that goes super well with roasted chicken. We did have some beers beforehand and a nice scotch afterwards, too.
ckreef Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Yummy looking chicken - I too have never heard of that marinade before.
tony b Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Posted November 10, 2015 It's a Great White North thing, eh!
tinyfish Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 We keep some things secret north of the border. Don't let Bosco get you hooked on La Bomba hot spread. Its a Canadian thing too.
mguerra Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Never heard of it but have some en route to try. Thanks for the tip.
bosco Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Ask Robert about the la bomba spread!!!! I'm a Canuck pusher
tony b Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 Careful, Bosco, or I'll be quoting Iron Butterfly on you!
CeramicChef Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Tinyfish is my pusher for that La Bomba! First one's free; after that, it COSTS ya! La Bomba is so appropriately named it ain't even funny!
