Hi,

Was very good. From another local farm, just up the road. I think it's all in my head, but I swear I can taste the difference between my local area and stuff from a few hours away.

Cheers,
Nik

Must be good grazing country and good quality cows they are using down there.

Sad to say but my parents have given up on local beef at the moment, one of the guys who pretty much has a monopoly on the local beef that is sold in the area (other producers send their there stuff elsewere) is just turning shit, dude has been buying up older scroungy cows that no one else wants to buy and it is often just pretty poor quality beef when it hits the plate.

Instead they are getting it from one of Dads mates who is a wholesaler and gets his stuff from a place in NSW called Wingham which is a couple of hours south of home and man, holy that is probably the tastiest meat I have eaten, so many kinds of good!

Hi,

There is a spate of poor quality hitting over east, due to extreme weather there was such a loss of feed/etc and with the trade halts to Asia, the money dries up fast.

Up north of WA they are having issues because there are so many cattle that can't be exported because of these stupid rules, and there's not enough feed, so everyone including the living animal suffers.

Next round of export started yesterday, and I believe the boats are already full (not literally but on paper).

Cheers,
Nik

Yeah I guess that pretty much sums it up! So long as this place in Wingham keeps producing top quality stuff I don't think the parents will complain too much!

As promised, here is my home secret recipe for Portuguese Chicken. Enjoy everyone!


Marinate (per chicken)

• 8 cloves of fresh garlic
• pinch of table salt
• juice of 2 lemons
• 1 table spoon of bay leaf powder
• ½ table spoon of paprika
• 2 shots of scotch
• 2 table spoons of butter
• ½ table spoon of ground ginger
• ¼ stubby of beer

Piri Piri Hot Sauce

• 10 hot chillies
• 2 pinches of table salt
• ½ large lemon
• shot glass of virgin olive
• 2 table spoons of garlic powder

Method

• Remove excess fat and wash chicken.
• Flatten chicken by placing chicken on table and pushing down hard with palm of hand.
• Make 5 or 6 cuts into the thickest parts of the chicken and stab skin with sharp fork to facilitate penetration and absorption of marinate.
• Use kitchen brush and brush marinate liberally, ensuring all parts of the chicken are brushed, inside and out.
• Sprinkle rock salt liberally on both sides of chicken, and leave in a container for a minimum of an hour. If longer, place in refrigerator.
  
  Note: Most of the salt will fall off during the cooking process.
• Using double-sided BBQ grill, flatten chicken and lock it. Single sided grill can be used, chicken will then have to be turned with tongs or other utensil.
• Chicken is grilled over charcoal, preferably, or alternatively BBQ beads, until golden brown.
• When cooked, cut into portions using cooking scissors.
• Piri Piri hot sauce can be added prior to cutting chicken into portions, or served together with chicken as self serve sauce.

And there you have it! Here are some pics I managed to find earlier in the topic to show what it can look like.

Here is our chilli concoction:



Here is the complete finished product. They may look burned, but they're not. It's the marinate that's just gotten that colour and makes the chicken taste AMAZEBALLS.



I tried to present well:




Bon appetit everyone!

Do you just get a whole chicken and chop it up Gazza?

[Liberty]

You can do that, or you can just get the individual pieces. It's really up to you. The majority of the time we get the whole chicken and cut it up ourselves, but don't see it as a thing you HAVE to do. It works out just the same and tastes just as good.
