Summer distilled

You survey the contents of the red and white checked tablecloth, you bounce the shitty creamy coleslaw, the botulism laden yellowed potato salad, the overcooked and over looked burger patty, and the horribly greasy bowl 'o' tater chips and you find yourself with all the best parts of a typical summer BBQ... Chicken, corn bread, and the ubiquitous watermelon. Life is too short to follow the formality of useless sides, my vote is eat watcha like and make no apologies for it. The drumsticks were rubbed with Ben's poultry seasoning and cooked super slow so every ounce of skin and fat was rendered into a wafer thin crunchy sheet of flavour. The corn muffin recipe was passed along from my best pal Jiffy. The watermelon was deftly cut by none other than the amazing JW. Don't kid yourself simpler IS better if done well. P.S. Lo siento for the quality of the photography, my phone is not the weapon of choice.
