OMG a Recipe: Mixing Things Up at the Hobbit Ultralounge

It's a oft-said saying that Nature abhors a vacuum, and that's true for many things, even with food and drink. If you stick with a narrow menu of items, even if they're your favorite things to eat or drink, you're missing out on a world of possibilities. I'm the most guilty of this vacuum, settling into Hobbit-like comfort zones and not always being on top of the latest and greatest things, most notably with beverages of the adult persuasion. But laziness – begone! I've been fortunate enough to take my drinking palate out on the town of late and reminding myself that one should never settle for a simple vodka soda... ever. It's long overdue I mixed things up again.

OMG a Recipe: How to Eat your Veggies (with liquor) and Getting into Drink Me Magazine

So, along with celebrating America's independence from our British overlords and a massive global alien invasion (thanks to Will Smith), the Prime is happy to celebrate a recipe getting published in Drink Me magazine, a booze-a-riffic publication based out of Northern California that has a jazzy way of celebrating the culture of potent potables. In their recent Issue 8 "Colors" theme, you can check out the Bourbon Roasted Chicken recipe, along with a side of carrots, because we all should eat our veggies when we're eating our booze.

Look Ma, I'm published! Get thee to Drink Me's website to download a copy!

Calm down, the alcohol gets burned off from the crazy heat of the oven or grill, if you decide to adapt this recipe for outdoor cooking. The resulting flavor is an oaky sweet glaze that makes for tasty eating. You can find all the details in the magazine, which you can download a copy online, on Drink Me's website. If you're in the California area, I hope you're able to track down a printed copy.

I hope you dig the recipe, I hope you don't burn the house down from saving too much Maker's Mark for yourself while cooking up some boozy chicken, and I hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend and blew stuff up real good. Kaboom!
