I, in some fit of insanity, offered to cook teriyaki chicken for the ward luau which was scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 19th. Mostly I offered because I can't stand bad teriyaki chicken. I also offered to make some Hawaiian style salad dressing. Agghh!!!
So this last week was crazy busy (way crazier than usually). I've been working late every night. I bought 8 giant bags of chicken thighs from Costco on Thursday and stuck them in the fridge at home (thankgoodness for the extra fridge in the garage). Friday after work and before my RS Presidents meeting and before all my VT sisters were coming over for game night I went shopping for teri-marinade ingredients. Had my meeting, had my fun VT friends come over. We played games until 10:30pm at which point I chased them all home.
This is where my dad flies in with his super cape. My dad helped me make marinade and get all 160 pieces of chicken de-iced, and into the marinade. We're were up until midnight. I went to bed with cold stiff fingers.
The next morning at 7:30am, we got up and played an hour of Wii fit - he kicked my butt at golf and hula-hooping. Then he fired up the grill and the two of us spent the next 3 1/2 hours grilling chicken. I know that had my dad not helped me I would have been in tears, and only half-way done, by lunch time.
My dad ROCKS!!!! I bought him a Chipotle bowl for lunch to thank him.
By the way, everyone at the ward party LOVED the chicken.
