Smokin’ weekend

Contributed - | Story: 55144
Our first competition of the season is just around the corner. This Sunday we will try our best to make Kelowna proud and win for the first time. We have got close for the last 3 years, but this year we are confident, this is it!

I thought I would share with you a marinade that we will most likely use to flavor our chicken.

  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Dijon
  • 1/8 tsp clove
  • 1/3 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder

    We plan on leaving on the marinade for 12 hours. Then we will cook our chicken and apply our sauce at the end.

    Hope to see you down there - just follow the smoke!

    About the Author

    Kristin Peturson-Laprise is a customer experience specialist by trade, which means she is someone passionate about people having a good time. 

    Her company, Wow Service Mentor, helps businesses enhance their customer experience through hands-on training, service programs, and special event coordination.

    Kristin enjoys her own experiences too, and that is what she writes about in this column. She and her husband Martin Laprise (also known as Chef Martin, of The Chef Instead) love to share their passion for food and entertaining.  

    Kristin says:

    "Wikipedia lists a gourmand as a person who takes great pleasure in food. I have taken the concept of gourmandise, or enjoying something to the fullest, in all parts of my life. I love to grow and cook food, and I loved wine enough to become a Sommelier. I call a meal a success when I can convey that 'sense of place' from where the food has come . . . the French call that terroir, but I just call it the full experience. It might mean tasting the flavours of my own garden, or transporting everyone at the table to a faraway place, reminiscent of travels or dreams we have had."
