Since some of family will be distant on Thxgvg, we decided to have our special meal today. Non traditional--no turkey. Having chicken legs and thighs that I marinated over night and then with some additional light seasoning I sous vide them for 3 hrs a 160*. Did that Wed. Kept them vacuum sealed and in fridge until today. When we gather I will crank up the RT590 to FULL (which got to above 550 before), and sear them before serving. Did a test run on one drumstick and one thigh on Thursday. With 12 minutes-(turned once) they were seared nicely and meat was still very moist. They could have been in longer for more crisp without over drying. With 22 pieces, I will expect to take longer because of heat loss while loading all of them, and turning once. Will have some deviled eggs. In addition, will have the usual, mashed taters and gravy, baked sweet potato slices with brown sugar and cinnamon, dressing, cranberry sauce, french cut green beans, Texas toast with garlic, and of course Pumpkin Pie. Save yourself some time and buy the pie at Costco,if available. Absolutely the best I have tasted (including crust) and only $5.95 for a large pie.
