Wild In The Kitchen: Venison With Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri sauce is a staple of cooking in Argentina. Every cook there has their own version. It is traditionally served with beef, but I’ve become a fan of the easy-to-make sauce on venison. In true Argentina fashion, I tested several recipes and came up with a version of my own. Several recipes that I found…

Wild In The Kitchen: Catfish Tacos With Remoulade Sauce

I must admit, I first thought putting catfish in a taco might result in my man card being revoked. For me, fried or blackened catfish was the only way to go. I was pleasantly shocked just how good a catfish taco is. I plan to make my own next time when my buddies aren’t around…

Wild In The Kitchen: Springville Cafe’s Blackened Catfish

Friday is catfish day at the Springville Cafe in my hometown. The catfish there is typically fried, and it is incredible, but I’m trying to stay away from fried foods. Those who arrive early to prepare for the day on Fridays know to set me a couple of fillets aside to be blackened. The cook…

Wild In The Kitchen: Spatchcocked Smoked Wild Turkey

When I saw someone showing how to spatchcock a turkey on the show “Man. Fire. Food,” it made perfect sense. You simply take poultry shears to a whole bird and cut out the backbone and toss it away. You then flip the bird over, push hard with the palm of your hand to flatten it.…

Wild In The Kitchen: Perfect Apple Smoked Wild Turkey

Are you looking for a break from frying that wild turkey? I tried this last year, and it was incredible. Brining makes the turkey juicy. The stuffing makes the turkey incredibly flavorful. 1 large turkey, brined 1 red apple, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 red onion, quartered 6 red potatoes, quartered 3 large carrots,…

Wild In The Kitchen: Bacon Wrapped Quail

I doubt seriously if you will ever be called upon to cook quail for 600 people like my friend Ron Chamblee and I do every February, but let me warn you that if you ever do, don’t even consider frying that much quail. We manage to feed everyone at the Ashville First Baptist Wild Game…
