I made a peanut butter and hot pepper jelly bacon burger last night and it was awesome.

I feel that I've finally landed on the best cooking method for the basic roasting of a whole chicken. I've tried all the different ways you find online (slow and low, hot and fast, cover with foil, stuff with whatever, etc).

Put chicken on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with legs tied, pat dry, then spread butter all over it, and season liberally (I just use salt, pepper, and usually Montreal spice). Preheat oven to 475 degrees, lower to 400 degrees as soon as you put the thing in the oven, roast for about 27 minutes per pound (but there's nothing wrong with a meat thermometer - I just don't own one). Baste every 15 minutes as soon as there are enough juices in the pan to do so. Apply more butter if you want while basting. Cool for at least 15 minutes under a foil tent. This method has given me the juiciest, most perfectly cooked chicken. In fact, it was so juicy it was almost out of control. The juices were running all over the place while I was carving and I had to build paper towel dams, lol. But even when I reheated the breast in the microwave the next day, it was probably still more tender than a fresh breast has been straight out of the oven with some other recommended cooking temps and times.

.... Just sayin', lol.

Sounds good. I’ve done the peanut butter and jelly burger before. It was surprisingly good.

Is that a thing people do?  I didn't know, I thought it was unique lol
There's a local bar that has a peanut butter bacon burger on the menu that most people won't give a chance.  I did, and I had them add jalapenos and it was delicious, but I thought it needed jelly too for a little sweetness to round it out.  The hot pepper jelly was perfect.

Definitely done a PB&J burger and I agree pepper jelly is the way to go. Or you can do apple jelly & jalapenos if you dont have pepper jelly available. Chop up some bacon & add to the jelly.  Oh and I like to mix a little ancho powder in the peanut butter.

Breakfast burger... Take a potato roll, dip it in waffle batter and fry it in a waffle iron. Light drizzle of maple syrup on the heel, fried green tomato slice, half beef/half sausage patty, fried ham slice, egg over easy, bun crown. Yum.

The 5-8 Club in the Twin Cities has a PB&J Lucy which is a take on the famous Juicy Lucy. (A Juicy Lucy is hallmark of the Twin Cities food scene. Just google it...) It consists of peanut butter and American cheese stuffed into the middle of the burger patty then topped with strawberry jelly. As I mentioned, surprisingly good.

Yeah, I've seen peanut butter jelly hamburgers too.

I'm not surprised people are hesitant. I can barely get people to try a fried egg in their burger, let alone peanut butter!

I take a very similar approach to this. I believe F Me uses cast iron skillet, which I have not done and feel like it would be more difficult to get right

There is a bar by me that specializes in different burgers, one of them being bacon, PB and jelly.  Haven't been and not sure I'd get down with it.

Can't hurt to try. If you hate it, just send it back. They'll give you something else. I've never been to any establishment that charged for something the customer finds inedible.

I have no dog in that disagreement. I’ll eat either of them!

The cast iron is the way to go!
(Whatever works best for you, of course, is what you should use)

Just destroyed a choped salad and some pork tacos

jerparker20

Whipped up some Kraft macaroni and cheese and threw in some hotdog chunks for the kid this afternoon. Not embarrassed to say that I throughly enjoyed shoveling it into my face! 

F Me In The Brain

Skrimp Dumplings and pork egg noodles soup.  A shitton of hot sauce.
I love that stuff!

F Me In The Brain

Put too much Pepper Chocolate Last Dab Redux on leftover tacos
Stuff is absolutely brutal.
