tony b Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjs Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
