Some hot chicken at Slappin Chick in Hicksville, Long Island NY earlier. I meant to try their Slappin Mac bowl & banana pudding but there'll be plenty of Mac & desserts tomorrow so decided to stick with the tenders. Just as good as it was last month. Their slappin seasoning juicy tenders are heavenly. We love this joint.

Did another turkey... Don't mind the black bits underneath. It was celery, onion, carrots and thyme that was roasted to oblivion. This one might have come out better than the last one to me. The best compliment will be people who don't ever like Thanksgiving turkey who like it. And I redeemed my last gravy. I couldn't get the roux ratio just right so I had to use a cornstarch slurry and it wasn't as good... This one came out perfect

I tried to eat turkey the other day since work served it up — I have no clue how I used to eat that garbage

Fried turkey is an exception though

How was the turkey prepared?

Most turkey doesn't taste like anything because most folks don't know what the hell they are doing.

We talk about it every year

Think it’s fair to say that A LOT of folks grew up eating turkeys that weren’t prepared well at all.

No brines, no injections, only one method of cooking, etc.

And they’ve just come to the conclusion that turkey isn’t good.

I brined and injected this ***** this year...let's see how it goes...using apple/cherry wood

We have the internet now.

No excuse for making a dry turkey.

No excuse in this modern era.

Season those legs and wings man.

I need to try those...I got the honey one, but I didn't like it too much. Have you tried Kosmo-Q rubs? I got hot dirty bird and it is really good

i haven’t got around to that brand. holy gospel is amazing, i have hot honey and it’s too sweet for me. i usually mix it with a lot of black pepper.

Yeah, that was me growing up - my mom used to buy this block of white meat thing (they're still popular here) blast it in the oven then serve it cold. Apparently the hot gravy was all you needed.

Until about 5 years ago when I brought a smoked turkey and now I get asked every year. The comments are always about how they never realised that turkey wasn’t supposed to be dry…

Juicy as hell

 

[deusavertat]

A few anti-turkey options

Garlic ginger habanero beef
Pepper and onion beef
Pulled pork
Jalapeno honey cornbread

Juicy as hell

Followed up my man's ashy turkey with extra blackened.

Basic af.

Roast away, pun intended.
