Grilled Buffalo Herb Chicken with Chipotle Miso Corn on the Cob

Grilling with a glaze takes fresh summer corn on the cob to a new level. Pay attention to the grilling technique for the chicken - it works well to avoid flare-up burns, and assure a nice browned result.

Chicken Marinade:

4 cloves garlic, peeled

6 sage leaves

1/4 cup summer savory leaves

small palmful fresh mint leaves

1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves

2 tsp Kosher salt

fresh ground pepper to taste

1/4 cup Buffalo sauce

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup canola oil

2 halves chicken, rinsed and dried, or equivalent pieces of chicken serving 4

4 ears corn, husked and cut in half

Corn Grilling Glaze:

3 cloves garlic, quartered

1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 Tbsp fresh mint leaves

2 Tbsp red miso

2 Tbsp Butter (softened to room temperature)

2 tsp honey, or brown sugar

1 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

1/2 tsp crushed chipotle chili (I used Whole foods 365)

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 Tbsp black toasted sesame seeds

Add non-liquid chicken marinade ingredients into a small food processor. Mince the herbs.

Now add the remaining ingredients and blend together well. Pour over chicken in a large casserole and mix together well with the chicken. Allow to marinate at least 1-2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.

When ready to cook, return chicken to room temperature. Heat grill to high.

Cook corn in boiling salted water for about 3-4 minutes, just to begin to soften. Drain the corn and set a side.

Prepare the corn grilling glaze. Mince the garlic and herbs together in a small food processor. Place in a small bowl. Add the remaining corn glaze ingredients and whisk together well.

Turn right side of grill off. Place chicken on right side of grill, skin-side up. Reserve marinade. Cover and cook about 12-15 minutes.

Now turn left side to medium-low. Baste skin side of chicken with remaining marinade. Flip the chicken skin-side down onto the left side of the grill and cook for another 10 minutes, watching carefully for any flare-ups.

Turn right side of grill on to medium-low and flip chicken skin-side up onto right side and cook another 10 minutes, until cooked through.

While the chicken finishes on the right side, raise the left side to medium and grill the corn, basting with the glaze liberally.

Turn the corn often, to brown nicely on all sides.

Serve corn with chicken. Serves 4.

Umami Beef Short Ribs Samin Nosrat

This is the penultimate prep for beef short ribs. Based on the superb documentary by Samin Nosrat, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, this is the most umami rib dish you will ever have. Its the combination of red miso and soy sauce that marinates and flavors the beef - give it a long time to work right - that means overnight in the fridge; it's worth the planning ahead. 6 beef short ribs on the bone, about 3-4 lb 1 large sweet yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1 jalapeño pepper, minced 4 cloves garlic, halved Marinade: 1/4 cup red miso 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup pale dry sherry or Mirin rice wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp honey 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt the ribs generously with coarse salt and let rest overnight in the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the marinade. Pour into the plastic bag and allow to marinate on the counter for about 2-3 hours, or again overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat...

Rosemary Chimichurri

I am making this fresh aromatic condiment more and more often. It can be used as a topping for grilled meats, fish, and for many other flavoring opportunities. I now keep some in the refrigerator almost at all times. 4 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves large palmful fresh cilantro, leaves and stems 3 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes juice of 1/2 lime (or lemon), and the zest if you like 1/4 tsp salt fresh ground black pepper to taste 1/4 cup olive oil Pulse the rosemary, cilantro and garlic in a small food processor (You could also use a mortar and pestle.) Tip into a small bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook’s Note: If you haven’t noticed, I love chimichurri sauce. It’s zesty, and full of aromatics. It goes on so many dishes and is a great ingredient for so many things. Make some and keep it in the fridge for inspiration. I use fresh rosemary and cilantro as my green herbs, but you could use oregano and parsley, which is also popular. Many peo...

'Back-of-the-bag' King Arthur Oatmeal Bread

This is one of the best loaves of bread I have ever made, based on a famous recipe. Friends swear about King Arthur recipes, and now I do too. I only modified King Arthur's recipe slightly, adding the yolk of the egg I used for the eggwash on the crust. Goes great with a big pot of bean soup. And it toasts up so nicely - aroma therapy for the whole house! 3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups bread flour 1 cup old fashioned oats 2 tsp active dry yeast 2 Tbsp honey 1-1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbsp butter, finely diced 1 egg yolk 1-1/4 cup lukewarm (about 100F) milk 1 egg white plus 1 Tbsp water about 1/4 cup old fashioned oats for topping Mix ingredients to a firm but still tacky dough. You’ll have to adjust the final amount of dough to the humidity of your kitchen and flour - err on the sticky side for a lighter, moister loaf. Knead dough 5 minutes. Roll dough around in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise an hour. ...
