Giveaway: Northwest Sampler Grilling Gift Basket

Yes, you read the title right. I’m having a giveaway and for as long as there has been APP, I’ve never, ever, had a giveaway.  Well, at least until now.

On a pretty regular basis, I get emails to review or evaluate products. I almost always politely turn them down. I can count on one hand the companies I have had the fortune of dealing with.  Regular readers know instantly who I’m talking about. These relationships started not with a canned email, but a mutual appreciation and passion for either grilling or beer.

It takes an awesome product and awesome people for this to happen, which brings me to Outdoor Gourmet.  Nestled in Sandpoint, Idaho, just below the Canadian border, Outdoor Gourmet is the original, modern day manufacturer of cedar grilling planks.  They are a small family-owned business and their planks, all six flavors/species, are incredible.  I’ve used them extensively for years, and I do think they are the absolute best.

In preparation for the holidays, Outdoor Gourmet is giving away one of their Northwest Sampler Grilling Gift Baskets.

Sure, you could plank chicken breasts, but it is a whole lot more interesting to plank an entire chicken.

Take a whole chicken, remove the backbone, and cut the breastbone in half to separate.  Season all over with salt, pepper, and your favorite rub.

Soak two cedar planks in water for at least an hour.

Place the chicken halves on the planks and grill over indirect medium high heat for about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Remove and enjoy.
