FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[Comparison Ford]

I’ve said it many times but it bears repeating:

Turkey can be moist, but the best turkey still pales in comparison to the best chicken or the best duck.

I eat it and I like it, but it's still the inferior bird to me.

Also if you don’t brine your turkey you’re a god damn loser and deserve to eat bland food.

I feel like a wet brine would be better.

Why do you prefer the dry brine over the wet one? big j 33

Convenience for one. Not having to deal with a submerged turkey in my fridge, sprinkling a mix of kosher salt and baking powder was easier. I know sometimes people put aromatics in their brine too, but I never really feel like that benefits much for turkey. That's why I prefer using the herb butter under the skin and on top of it before I cooked it.

And the two times I did a dry brine It produced very moist turkey. It was a hit. Not sure if it was the brine or a combination, but I'm pleased with the results.

This dry brine is a new concept to me.

 

[jape]

for the benefits of a wet brined turkey you lose the same texture of a dry brine. and you can also just inject a dry brined turkey to achieve the flavor of a wet brined turkey

We been using that Tony Chach injector butter for a few years now.

I will say that wet brining a turkey is inconvenient as he'll. You basically need a second fridge in order to do it.

However, if you have the space and the resources it's absolutely worth it.

I don’t care for turkey. Doesn’t have much natural flavor. And almost no fat.

 

[tay1]

Dry brining works well for moisture. A wet brine can provide a little more flavor. I prefer a dry brine.

Came for the roast pork but they ran out. They threw in a free order of fries.

How to Brine a Turkey for Thanksgiving

Everything you need to know about brining your turkey for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday where you want a perfectly seasoned roasted bird.

That's what I used.

Herb-Rubbed Crisp-Skinned Butterflied Roast Turkey Recipe

This butterflied roast turkey recipe has got all of the same crisp skin and juicy meat as our original spatchcock turkey recipe, but with a flavor-packed herb butter to coat it.

www.seriouseats.com

Same for the spatchcock procedure and herb butter which was very flavorful. If your turkey works for you then keep rocking, but I won't go back to any other way. It was a big hit too and the crowd is pretty picky and would absolutely roast me (no pun intended) if the turkey sucked. Favorite part of the spatchcock is the speed too.. freed me up prep time and oven time.

Yall that live on the East Coast can just put your turkey in a bucket and let it wet brine outside. It's definitely cold enough. (Save space in the fridge)

Speaking of Raising Kane, they had the truck at the Jimmy’s tailgate last night. I want to keep kayfabe, but the chicken was hot and juicy and there was ample sauce. Kinda hit

Just read on reddit people saying boston market was the best meal they've had on thanksgiving. No thanks.

 

[tr1ll]

Bless their hearts.

I underestimate how much the general population loves chicken tenders. raising cane’s tenders are good but everything else is just aight.

Yeah none of the jokes are really wrong . But when it's right, at the right time, it's satisfying.

My local neighborhood Boston Market gets super lit on Thanksgiving day. People start lining up around 5AM & the lines are insanely long. They do holiday food boxes too & people be brawling to get their hands on one . I'll try to take a pic this year to show you guys.
