this looks fantastic are you saving the left over seasoning for the gravy or for a later use like chicken fried steak? Have you done any videos about your portable cooking outfit and could you show its set up? thanks GWNDFM

@GWNDFM

The left over seasoning (that has not had poultry rolled in it) is saved. We use a variety of cooking surfaces--I tend to be a minimalist and cook on whatever surface is available while Dean likes the table. His table is a wonderful one, custom made and very HEAVY. We tend to use it where we will be staying awhile or having multiple cooks. If you go to the " Pizza Fun at Ocean Cove" and scroll down the comments, you'll find info on the set-up shown in this Chicken video. Joanie

I am sure it has curry and paprika

[outdoorcastironcook]

@oldfart2413 It has 1/4 c. paprika, but no curry.

Looks good. But why go through the effort to display the beautiful and varied dry rub ingredients without naming them? Chef's secret maybe.........

@champeens

If you expand the video discription, you will see the entire recipe.

Our family really gets a kick out of you're videos, highly appreciated. People such as yourselves are the folks that should be hosting you're own cooking show, not these scary Paula Deans and Martha Stewarts types.But,real people making REALLY good food.

I miss the greenery of NorCal, I cant wait to move back!

Cheers!
