The Crash Davis Mangonero Chicken Dish

Hi, I am Crash Davis, host of the Ultimate Outdoor Show on KFAB (1110 AM Radio) in Omaha.  My hour long show is heard every Saturday beginning at 10:00 AM.

For just over a year Chili Dawg's Foods of Fire has been a part of my show.  I take great pride in watching the success of my sponsors.  I feel it's important for supporters of the outdoors to prosper together.

You may have heard about their new spice rubs.  They are GREAT!   I have been playing with them lately and here is the latest concoction I have worked up.

Take skinless chicken breasts and pat dry.

Rub with GOOD olive oil.

Sprinkle on Chili Dawg's Green Chili and Chipotle rub on both sides and grill on a medium hot grill.

Once the chicken breasts are done (simple test - juice runs clear) spread Chili Dawg's Mangenero on the top side and turn off the grill, BUT LEAVE THE CHICKEN ON with the lid shut for a couple of minutes.

Remove and serve this on a bed of fried rice or grilled potatoes.

You will enjoy the great SWEET before the HEAT.

Find Chili Dawg's all over the local area and get started with your Mangonero Chicken.  Watch for some of my other recipes using Chili Dawg's Foods of Fire!

Try our fabulous Dawg Dips using our spicy seasonings!

Our Habanero, Cayenne, Chipotle, Jalapeno and Green Chile seasonings are fantastic when used with sour cream.  What is the recipe you ask?  Very simple.  All you need to do is buy two items.  One of our seasonings and one 8oz tub of sour cream.  Or if you bought one of each of our seasonings, you would have a variety from which to choose, depending upon the occaision of course.   

Mix two level tablespoons of the Chili Dawg's seasoning of your choice with the sour cream.  Because of the intense flavor of the Habanero and Cayenne seasonings, some customers are using less than two level tablespoons.  They will mix in a teaspoon at a time until they reach the desired taste and heat.

This makes an outstanding dip for vegetables and/or chips and crackers. 

When your party or tailgate is done, just put the lid on the container and refrigerate.  Then use the dip the next day when you cook baked potatoes for dinner.  Instead of plan old butter and sour cream on your baked potato, use butter and one of the Dawg Dips.  It will add a whole new dimension to your potato experience.

Be sure to let us know if you come up with recipes you would like to share with the other fans of Chili Dawg's Foods of Fire!
