I've been really enjoying my last couple evenings listening to some music recs from cgod. It's late in life, but I'm happy I finally realized that when it comes to effortless weekday evening meals, boneless chicken thighs are one order of magnitude better than boneless chicken breasts, which are totally for basic bitches. I actually feel a bit foolish for not knowing this important truth years earlier but whatever I'm good now.
A good friend of mine is a sculptural artist and got interested in Tandoor ovens. So he started building them and refining the design. Which lead to him making Naan bread. And then a full Indian food menu. He's been extremely successful at it. He now makes almost all his money from catering traditional Indian weddings... which is an incredibly profitable business, it turns out. Everything changed when he moved from making his tandoori chicken with breasts, to thighs. Yeah, the meat is weird shaped and harder to put on the skewer, but OH MY GOD it is delish!!! Chicken thighs are da bomb.
That's awesome. You never know where not terribly idle curiosity will lead you. On the list of simple pleasures, good Naan and Tandoori are near the top I think. TBH I should build a tandoor next Spring. When it isn't winter, 80%+ of my meals are on my grill anyway.
