20JUN24 - Damn, the 4th of July is right around the corner! I just don't know where the time goes.

Jennifer flew to Ohio Tuesday morning and the Budmeister and I have been batching it. Also, because we enjoyed the hell out of the first batch of chicken wings on the grill the other night (in who knows how many years,) I got another pack out of the freezer and repeated the process.

But while Jen knew in advance to marinate the wings the first time, I made the call late in the day so I thawed them out by putting them in sealed ziplocs and soaking them in warm water for a couple hours. Because of the time constraint, I got out the FoodSaver marinating container, checked the Web and learned that the meat only requires ten minutes in a near vacuum so I gave it a shot with Jen's favorite marinating sauce..Olive Garden salad dressing. (smile)

Thing is, there is no OG after taste on the chicken and the meat has been extremely juicy and tender both times, especially for chicken. This second batch was killer and I ate every damn one of 'em. (grin)
