I love chicken adobo. My father used to make it all the time. But now that he's gone, I can't seem to get the soy, vinegar, garlic ratio to where it tasted like his dish. What is your recipe, if you don't mind me asking?

Okay. The ribs turned out fantastic. And in all of its sticky, smoky
glory.

It's really my friend's recipe slightly tweaked. but I'll take credit for it if you end up liking it.
 
For ~4-5 lb of chicken thighs (I keep the skin and bones) I like to put in equal parts soy sauce and white vinegar. In this case ~1/2 a cup each. You can use different kinds of vinegar too (apple cider vinegar is pretty good). I usually put in 4 cloves of garlic, 4 bay leaves, and a decent amount of ground black pepper (about a teaspoon).
 
I put all of this in a big pot and let it marinate for a few hours (longer would be nice but I'm disorganized and impatient). Afterwards just bring it to a boil and let simmer for about an hour (stir occasionally). Serve with rice and enjoy.
 
Disclaimer: My friend likes to add sugar (he puts in more sugar then pepper) and water down the soy sauce/vinegar mixture (I think he adds ~1/2 a cup of water?) but I'm a big fan of salt and vinegar, and not a fan of sweets, so I took those out. So if you like vinegar based bbq sauce and salt and vinegar chips, try my recipie, otherwise you'll probably want to add some sugar and water.

Last night while I was in Corpus Christi on a band trip, I made polska kielbasa With baby carrots braised in apple juice. Mmmm.

Not pretty but so good. Haven't had a hotdog in a year.

Try it. Spread mayo on the bun, and cover in your favorite tortilla chips, then top with the dog and your favorite salsa- - you won't be disappointed.

I'm going to have to give this a whirl. Do you do anything to the carrots first or just grill them as well?

 

[AHorseNamedJeff]

Us 15 year old boys just chopped up some baby carrots, sliced some kielbasa, and put it in a frying pan. Put some apple juice in it to braise it.

5 Aces, posting that brisket was almost unfair...

Brisket is time/fuel consuming and next to beef ribs,one of my all time favorites.
I'm not in a place where I can readily fire up my smoker,sure miss the practice of prep and smoking meats.

Nothing draws people together like the smell of charcoal and wood,with some food on a grate...
Looking forward travelling to my sister's place and firing up my cookers for the May weekend!
