Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod.

Hello. Now, I... Hi. Hi, how are you? I'm good, thank you. Nice to see you, Vaughan. I have been taking over barbecue responsibilities in my household. As if I needed to take on more cooking responsibilities, but for some reason... Is that a sore point? No, it's not a sore point.

I've sort of gotten into it. How do you barbecue on something that's been given away? No, no, no. No, no, not the smoker, just the Weber. Yeah, okay. Just the grill. Oh, yeah, okay. Little grill.

Little gassy. Little gassy grill. Yeah, gassy's good in a pinch, but you can't be Weber. Yeah. Just the grill. Oh, yeah, okay. Little grill. Little gassy. Little gassy grill. Yeah, gassy's good in a pinch, but you can't be charcoal. I know. Fuck it. Anyway, don't worry. I don't want to talk about it. That's the sore point.

Anyway, we've got this little barbecue, and I've never really been the barbecuer. Quite gendered in our house when it comes to that. I cook in the kitchen. The man does the barbecue. Yeah. But just recently, I was like, I'll do it. Like, I'm just sort of busy there, and I'll just- Well, you get outside.

It's nice weather. I like it. You stand there. Yeah. And then like we close the lid and sit down for a little bit or have a little drink or whatever. So I've been doing all the barbecuing. And the other day I had some chicken thighs.

Now usually I'll just go for a sausage on a barbecue. Yeah. I had chicken thighs and I was like, yummo. I'll do some grilled chicken thighs. And I was imagining the chicken thighs with the nice grill marks on them. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I marinated these chicken thighs in a delicious, what's the sauce?

You know the sauce. Korean? Yeah, it's a dumpling. It's a dumpling dipping sauce. A dumpling dipping sauce we got sent. What? This yellow bottle. You got some.

And it's nuts. Okay. And it is so, if you'll excuse my french left fucking tasty fucking tasty it's so good i'm pretty sure it's a fucking tasty yeah so and i had used this for the dippage of dumps and so i was like fuck i'm gonna marinate the chicken thighs yeah yeah okay do that leave in the fridge for a few hours i've prepped all my veggies i go head out to the barbecue with all my bits and bobs i love it i bring out my little tray yeah my tin foil we're ready for things that cook at different times yeah then uh aaron's inside doing whatever

he's doing while i'm barbecuing also it's fine it's fine provide you know human life basically like the things we need to live um and i had the barbecue it's all heated up and everything and then i was like with the drippage because on my weber i've got one half's a plate one half's a grill oh lucky yeah i know thank you pause for a moment i've got two grills i've got no grills yeah barbecue no grills twoills, grill and a plate over here. So then I was like, but with the grill bit, it drips through to the flame. And I was like, oh, fuck, I don't know. That's what you want. Yeah, I was like, I don't know.

So I text, we were chatting, the three of us were chatting, and I just said to Vaughan, can I just put the sloppy, drippy chicken thigh, marinated chicken thighs straight on this grill bra? Or is it the plate? Or do I put it on the plate? Yeah. But then I was like, with the plate, I might as well just cook it in a fucking pan inside. Yeah.

Anyway. So, and you said, yeah, girl, hiff them on. Yeah. I was like, man, lay on the things. Doof, doof, doof like this. Cook them on. I didn't put oil on. So I fucked up there a little bit.

And the marinade, because it's got sugar in it yeah caramelizers and it became quite sticky so i'm getting the i'm getting the thing under there and i'm flipping them oh man they were so tasty yum anyway so get all this we eat the dinner aaron's like this is unreal mean dinner and i was like thank you blah blah blah blah and I said I've made a real man you should try cooking one yourself some fucking time that sort of thing

yeah yeah stuff like that yeah yeah yeah you're so welcome you can do this it's really not that hard it's literally piss easy yeah it's cooking over fire

this is what men do yeah yeah ooh ah like yeah full caveman thing anyway so I said but man I've made a real mess of the barbecue

yeah I was like why and I was like because of the marinade and stuff it's all sticky he's like no no it's all good I'll just clean it tomorrow because I've been barbec mess of the barbecue. Yeah. He was like, why? And I was like, well, because of the marinade and stuff. It's all sticky. He's like, no, no, it's all good. I'll just clean it tomorrow.

Because I've been barbecuing every night. Yeah. It's like, sweet. Turn it off. Lid down. Mess as is. Yeah. He comes out.

And the next day, I'm like, I want to hit the barbecue again. Yeah. And he was like, all good. And I said, can you clean it? Like, that's what you could contribute to this meal. You could go and clean the barbecue. And he was like, yeah, yeah, no problem. Heads out there.

And he came in and he was like, hey, next time. And I was like, here we go. Oh, hey, next time. Wow. Fuck you. Hey, next time. Hey, next time. Hey, next time, don't do the chicken on the grill.

Do it on the plate. And I was like, oh, really? Why not? Well, that's not what Vaughan said. Because it's all gone through the thing and it all drips through. He's like, you've got to do it on the plate. And I was like, oh, really? Why not? Well, that's not what Vaughan said. And he was like, because it's all gone through the thing and it all drips through. He's like, you've got to do it on the plate. And I was like, but what's the point? I said, well, Vaughan told me.

And he was like, well, Vaughan's not here cleaning this. Well, yeah, but. But you don't need to clean under the thing. No, no, no, no. Not under the plate. That's why every few years. The plate, the grill bit where all the chicken had like baked on and he baked on was like impossible he was scrubbing but he turned it back on right and heated the shit out of it

before he scrubbed it for he did not so this is cold barbecue you either clean it after yes straight after you use it you leave it going and you clean it or you heat it up i always leave it yeah next time you crank it get the heat right up and you clean it. Or you heat it up. I always leave it. Next time you crank it, get the heat right up, and then you just give it a scrub with a wire brush and it all falls off. Yeah, I know. So basically he's like scrubbing at full elbow grease mode. He turned it heated up for a little bit, but not a lot. I was like, no, you've got to blaze it for like 20 minutes.

Most of the time you'll come back and everything will be burnt off if you absolutely blaze it afterwards. Well, it's crazy because we put the plates that had been cleaning for an hour back on the barbecue for 15 minutes with the lid shut and poof, poof, gone. Clean. Yeah, yeah. Made us a nice new barbecue with sausages and stuff. That's, yeah.

Wow. And also, like, I, you know, worry too much about cleaning a barbecue. No, no, no, no, no. It's the taste. Carries over the taste. Do you know what's great? Do you know what's in my fridge? It's a beautiful day outside.

Do you know what's in my fridge? Chicken thighs. Do you know what I'm going to fucking do? I'm going to marinate them in sticky sauce. I'm going to put them on the grill, motherfucker. And then leave the... And I'm going to leave it. And then say to Aaron,

make sure you clean that when it's cold. Because that's when it's easiest.
