tony b Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 I have discovered an insidious plot that the Canadians are trying to conquer us with their Chalet chicken!!! Made another batch for dinner tonight, but I "amp'ed up" the dipping sauce with Trader Joe's Green Dragon sauce (think green chile Sriracha) and some fresh lemon thyme off my plant. Sampled 3 different rubs to see which I thought would go best with the Chalet marinade - Yardbird, Fin & Feather (both from Plowboys), and Cimmaron. While Yardbird is my favorite chicken rub, I thought Cimmaron was a better match with the Chalet. Dennis' money shot! I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille! Done! Plated, with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes (there go those Canadians, again!) and some steamed Broccoli. Red Lobster biscuit (but with Parmesan cheese and some roasted garlic). $$$$$ First, it was Poutine, now Chalet Chicken. They are trying to win us over with their food and doing a damned good job of it!!!
MacKenzie Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Tony, that is an awesome meal, being one of those oh so polite Canadians I'd have to say it is even better than if it had come right out of Swiss Chalet. In fact I'd give that dinner a
Rak Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Tony, you are a Canuck at heart Great job with that Chalet chicken!
tony b Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks, both of you, but I see right through your deviousness. I'm not falling for that one, eh!

dstr8 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Can you get real chicken in Iowa today? Don't know about other's here but I've mostly given up on supermarket chicken, yes even Whole Foods organic blah blah blah...as it all tastes the same...or rather taste-less the same :/. Even in California where they grow chickens by the gajillion its nearly impossible to find a real chicken (I suppose they're called "heirloom" breeds now)... Rant over
PRippley Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Nice chicken Tony, Imam going to go search the recipes area now!

Rant over I can get a decent free range, no hormone, blah, blah, bird from my butcher at the Farmer's Market. But, most of the time, I settle for the supermarket variety - cheaper! (I just bought a 10 lb bag of leg quarters for $4.90! That's $0.49/lb for the math challenged. ) Nice chicken Tony, Imam going to go search the recipes area now! No recipe, just need the package of the Chalet marinade and sauce mix. Amazon has them. I just ordered some, as this cook used up my last package of marinade sent to me by a buddy from The Great White North. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NGQ5O74?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
tinyfish Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 Great cook Tony. Who doesn't love a good chicken dish.
