A few years ago, I bought Derek a really cool attachment for his Weber grill – a rotisserie attachment (#EarnsCommission). It turns the Weber into a charcoal rotisserie and makes some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. This attachment has even made it to North Dakota with us a few times. We’ve used it…
Chicken Fried Rice
I’ve been lucky enough to have been exposed to Indonesian cooking by my father-in-law’s wife, Helen.
