Colleen’s out tonight, playing with a friend, and left me alone to fend for myself. Lately, I’ve been craving spicy dishes. Since she wasn’t here to eat my cooking, I decided I’d make some kind of spicy chicken dish. I got out the Yoshida’s Sauce and thawed a chicken breast, and dug around the spice rack looking for something to kick it up a bit. I found a bottle of “Ass Kicking” sauce that I’d been given for Christmas and have been too afraid to try. I tasted a bit… Yup, it was plenty hot enough. Eyes watered, mouth burned… Just a touch. I mixed about 2 teaspoons of the wickedly hot sauce into the Yoshida’s Sauce along with some crushed red pepper and soy sauce to thin it out a bit and let my chicken marinade. After about 30 minutes, I popped it on George Foreman’s grill and served it up to myself with some steamed rice. Heaven. Who’d have thought that Mexican style hot sauce (Captain Morgan is to Sailor Jerry as Tabasco is to Ass Kicking) would go SO WELL with an Asian Teriyaki Garlic sauce? WOW. Very hot, very tasty. Sorry for the random cooking blog. More on the new job and stuff this weekend…
