Mojo Chicken
I've saved the best for last on what has become almost a month long journey through the Cuban grill. Last week I passed off Mojo—a sour orange and garlic sauce—as a mere dip for tostones. While it preforms that task quite well, it didn't touch upon my true enthusiasm for the sauce and how it creates the absolute most delicious rotisserie chicken I've ever had.

Mexican Roadside Chicken
I'm back! You may have never known I was gone—except you astute observers who noticed a lack of a new recipe last week—but I was speeding through the awesomely surreal landscape of West Texas, making a few good barbecue stops along the way, which was immediately followed by the wedding of Meatwaver extraordinaire Mike when I returned. Although I may have been away from the computer (thank god), my mind never wandered far from the Meatwave. As I found myself hiking in 100 degree weather in Big Bend, peering into Mexico from the banks of the Rio Grande, I was remembering this roadside chicken, which was not only one of the best chickens I ever made, but one of the best I had ever eaten.

Ultimate Grilled Buffalo Wings
I'm fresh off a solid week of wings thanks to the best assignment given to me by Serious Eats. The mission that I chose to accept was to find five non-buffalo wing recipes that would entice serious eaters. Seeing as I'm a man of excess, I ended the week with eight recipes, over a hundred wings, and a severely broken New Years resolution. I was also left with one nagging desire that had to be fulfilled—Buffalo wings, well, not just Buffalo wings, but ultimate grilled Buffalo wings!

One Last Wing
Time is running out! I said next year I'm going to shape up my eating, but until then, it's strictly no-holds-barred. I need to show out 2010 in style with something that's juicy, fatty, flavorful and just tastes bad for you in general. New Years Eve is the zero hour, and when I think of sitting around a television, downing beers, and gorging, nothing fits the bill quite like wings.

An Apple (or Ten) a Day
The changing leaves and cool, crisp air brings along with it one of my favorite times of the year to grill. The toasty grill makes the perfect companion to enjoy the outdoors right now, and the bounty of the fall harvest presents new grilling challenges that coaxes an excitement out of me akin to the first signs spring and the coming "grilling season." As a local CSA member, there's also a downside to this, which is variety. The vast array of summer crops have given way to a monotony of fall fruits and vegetables, and the weekly collection of 5lbs of apples is starting to feel more of a burden than a gift from the earth. So what to do with all this excess? Well, you know me, I grill it!
