Cooking.com and The Texas Beef Council bring us this unusual recipe. I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s a cocktail, no wait its an appetizer. Kinda scary.

So under appreciated. Skinless, boneless chicken thighs are not only cheap, they taste good and couldn’t be easier to grill. Chicken thighs are of course dark meat, and thus more tender, moist and flavorful. To grill them, I first give them a healthy dose of salt and pepper, or sometimes a simple chicken rub or [...]
