Finger-Lickin', Rib-Stickin', Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-into- Your-Mouth Chicken

This recipe was is the first one we are trying from the book by Coolio, "Coolio The Ghetto Gourmet". We changed a few things but it ended up being good stuff.

The original recipe called for:

1 family pack chicken wings (20 to 30 wings)

A 20 sack seasoned salt (2 dime bags or 2 tablespoons)

1 dime bag pepper

1 cup brown ale

Thai hot sauce

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar 

2 Tablespoons minced garlic

1 medium white onion, chopped

One 4-oz can diced jalapenos

Two 10 3/4 oz cans condensed cream of chicken soup

Assorted colored bell peppers (2 should do)

We didn't have all those things, so we just used 6 large chicken wings, didn't use any vinegar, used tons of hot sauce, and diced our own jalapenos. 

So first I chopped all it up with a big knife, be careful it cuts faster than a samurai sword. 

Next came the chicken in the bowl with mincing 

We made sure to add lots of the seasoning onto the chicken

Then one of my favorite parts came next, we added the ale!!! We choose to use Dark Side Vanilla Porter by Empyrean Ales. It is good stuff, so we made sure to add lots.

Best part is you can drink whatever is left over!!!

We then added everything into the bowl and added the condensed cream of chicken soup. 

We stirred it up the old fashion way, with our hands.... they were clean...really. Then they were ready to go into the pan for cooking.

Now after cooking the allotted time, we went and checked on our masterpiece and the chicken did not seem to be fully cooked. We tested it by slicing it open and seeing if there was any pink, we did not have a meat thermometer on hand. So we decided to place it into a pan to make them cook faster.

After cooking it a 20 mins of more longer and at 430 F our chicken was ready. I think Coolio didn't need his oven so hot, because his kitchen was already full of hotties.

The chicken outside had a very nice spice to it and it was cooked very nicely on the skin. The chicken was a little different than what I am used to, but was still very good. Future changes may be less juice, higher heat, and chicken drummies. 

I would rate this meal around 7 out of 10. But in the future I am sure we can get it even better. 

Be sure to join us again as we cook with Coolio.
