CATEGORY DESCRIPTION - READ BEFORE ENTERING

This was Jonny Rotisserie's Winning Entry in the Beef Ribs TD in 2010!

I'm thinking "on a stick" I looked back at the last couple of years and didn't see it done..

Wood, metal, rotisserie, whatever, as long as your food is cooked while being impaled by a long pointy implement of some sort. Bones do not count, unless you fashion a skewer from a bone in some sort of Macguyver maneuver because you're too cheap to pop .99 to purchase some skewers.

You may submit entries that are cooked from Friday 2/7 through Sunday 2/16.

Entry pictures must be submitted by 6 a.m. Central US Time on Monday morning 2/17

Ok well here we go.
The first entry :heh: Inspired by Tonybel's Yakatori Chicken marinade.
Thanks Tony. I started out with his marinade and added a bit of rice vinegar and lemon juice to it,

Here is the chicken stabbed after a 4 hour marinade



And here we go onto the grill. Wait is that on a Weber :shocked:



Here is the chicken, off the grill resting while I get the rest ready



Now comes the veggies to stir fry



And here we go.........

TA DAAAAA plated!



Thank for following along :heh:
This was some of the most flavorful chicken I've ever made.

Redneck/Hillbilly Pork Roll According to Phubar

Please accept this as my official entry into the "On a stick Throwdown"

I started off thinking about what to make for this challenge and how to execute it with my limited resources. While cleaning out some cabinets in the kitchen today Thalia. my wife, said " do you know what these go to? If not throw them away" I took a look at what she was referring to and thought to myself, maybe I can use them on the UFO to hold a spit for a rotisserie. Then the madness began.

I went down into the garage and found a nice piece of stainless rod. I sanded it clean with some heavy grit sandpaper and then modified the scavenged uprights to hold my newly acquired spit. Next stop was the market where I found a nice pork roll that was wrapped with a healthy coating of lard. I was in carnivore mode and time to head for the barn!

I gathered all the limited supplies that I had on hand. Amore Dijon mustard, and a Plowboy's Bovine Bold Rub.



Assembled my new contraption



Fired up the UFO



Impaled the beast on a stick and rubbed it down good with the Mustard and coated it with a nice thick crust of Bovine Bold.







Then I paused for the cause with an original Budweiser Beer from the Czech Republic while the UFO came up to temp.



Time to get cookin, after I pinned some shallots to my little stuck piggy.





As the lump cooked down I needed to lower the roast to the fire and this called for a wee bit of a improve. I went into the garage and found some aluminium square stock and lowered the roast down closer to the fire and put the top back on the roast.



Took this shot up iside the lid as the roast was nearly done



Pulled and resting



Sliced and my polling pic if you please,



Final plate with purée potatoe et lard choux de Bruxelles (Mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts with bacon)



Thanks for lookin! :blabla:
