Camping Chicken August 7
Highlights:
Grilled chicken
Banana boats
Nino and I went camping with Ken for the weekend to Yosemite. We stayed in Crane Flats campground and hiked North Dome (10 miles) on Saturday and checked out Glacier Point and did a short walk to McGurk Meadon (2 miles) on Sunday. We also swam in Tenaya Lake on Saturday and the river in Yosemite Valley on Sunday.
For dinner Saturday night I had marinated chicken thighs before leaving the house. This marinade is amazing and good for chicken (marinate 24 hours) and tri-tip (marinate 48 hours or more) .
Marinade: Put chicken or beef in large ziploc. Pour beer into ziploc (I use budweiser and use between a half a can and a full can depending on how much I'm marinating). Pour in Yoshida's Gourmet Grilling sauce so it completely covers meat. Add 2-6 cloves garlic. For chicken adding ginger will give it nice flavor too.
The chicken turned out great on the grill over the open fire. We also had enough for leftovers, and it tasted great in sandwiches the next day. We also grilled corn in the husks, red peppers and portobellos that I had brushed some olive oil salad dressing with. All so tasty!
For dessert, we had s'mores with Scharfenberger chocolate and Ken's specialty - banana boats. Peel back one piece of banana skin, cut out a piece of banana and fill with chocolate and marshmallows. Replace banana and then skin, wrap in tin foil and then put on grill or fire for 10 minutes or so. The chocolate and marshmallows melt, and it's almost like a banana sundae without the ice cream. Yum!
