Shuley Posted July 15, 2016 Report Posted July 15, 2016 Chicken halves were on sale， I had frozen huli huli sauce left from the last time I made it， so I thought it would be a nice easy dinner. I was also inspired by Mackenzie to try a sous vide potato salad because my number 1 problem getting potato salad correct is uniform doneness of potatoes. Sous vide proved to be an excellent remedy. Also， I have been trying to improve my grilled veggie game. I'm a firm believer that veggies can be delicious， but I over look them often and don't take the time to make them stand up next to my protein. I saw a grilled version of a wedge salad so I thought I would try that. The recipe called to salt and oil Napa cabbage wedges for at least an hour Got the ingredients for the salad dressing. (jalapenos needed to be roasted on the kamado) I cut up and vacuum sealed some potatoes while I waited for the sous vide machine to come to temp. After a bit I was ready to throw in my chicken halves with some rub I made up. Started basting about 40 min into the cooking time.and done. Then I started grilling the cabbage. While that was happening the potatoes were done and I put them in an ice bath still vacuum sealed. This worked very well to get the potatoes to the temperature I wanted. Them the cabbage was ready to come off. Mixed the potatoes with everything and then I was done! This was my hubby`s plate (i know dark meat is most popular here) And my plate. This was one of the best salads I have ever had. Hubby and I both went back for a second wedge! My husband also said it was the best huli huli chicken I had ever done. I really liked the consistency from the perfectly cooked potatoes. Overall， this was a very successful cook. 4
