And now we get to the star of our show, the Gai yang (Thai roasted chicken). From the time I got home with the bird, marinated it, and roasted it...would you believe it only took 2.5 hours? The skin was a bit more burnt than my dad liked (that's why you don't go making salad while your chicken is skin side down on a hot charcoal fire, kids), but he thoroughly enjoyed the flavour, saying it was spot on. Coming from a dad who has friends who are Thai...damn that made me feel good. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #charcoal #fire #grill #bbq #yyc #yycliving #yycfood #AsianStyle #ThaiFood #beautifulcuisines #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #gastropostYYC #chicken #fathersday

There's just something about charcoal grilling that makes everything taste better. Whether it's steak or a Gai yang (Thai roast chicken), even a threatening rainstorm couldn't keep me from grilling this up. Maybe it's the obsessive food lover in me, but anything not grilled with charcoal...just doesn't taste the same. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticeAtHome #yycfood #yyc #yycliving #yyceats #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #beautifulcuisines #Gastronomy #instachef #instafood #truecooks #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #tastespotting #gastropostYYC #charcoal #chicken #ThaiCuisine

And it's bucketing down again. Just as I get to the Park, too. At least I've got my tickets for the evening show. Now what to do for the next few hours...? #ChefApprenticesDayOff #AtTheStampede #calgarystampede #yyc #yycnow #yycliving (at Calgary Stampede)
