Wuff recently received a new "Kitchen Toy" from Kickstarter; the ChefMaker Combi-Cooker by Dreo. ( https://www.dreo.com/chefmaker-combi-fryer )

Over the years, Vrghr's been supporting various folks trying to create different kitchen appliances on Kickstarter, but most have been "bust" up til now. But wuffy is VERY happy to announce that this one not only shipped and was received, but delivers on everything they claimed it was going to do during the Kickstarter promotion.

Vrghr took it over to a friend's house last Saturday and really gave it a shakedown cruise/trial by fire. For over 9 hours continuously, Wuff ran all sorts of things through it, using many of its various cooking settings, and it performed flawlessly!

We created Salmon w/Italian Dressing, Lemon-Pepper Salmon steaks, Salmon w/Maple Garlic marinade & Glaze, BBQ Salmon, Teriyaki Chicken Breast, BBQ bone-in/skin-on Chicken Thighs, Italian Marinaded Chicken Breast Strips, Maple Mustard Chicken Breast, Bacon-wrapped Chicken Tenders, Bourbon BBQ Pork Riblets, "Sweet Baby Ray" BBQ Pork Riblets, Roast Beef, Roasted Green Beans & Mushrooms w/Cashews & Dried Cranberries, and Roasted Garlic/Parmesan Potatoes.

Wuff won't be posting the recipes for all of these, as many were just "add some bottled xxx to a zip bag, refrigerate, and cook with the automatic setting", which wouldn't be very useful for those without the ChefMaker's automatic "Combi-cook" function. But others that wuff made special sauces or glazes for, or that used more common features such as "Air Fry", "Broil" or similar - - those recipes Vrghr will post as anyone with an air fryer or convection/traditional oven can also create them.

This recipe is one of those!

Wuff and his friend packaged up all the goodies to freeze for future meals, which is why the photo looks like something you'd get from a delivery place instead of a normally-plated presentation.

Again, wuff is SO HAPPY to have had a part in the creation of this wonderful kitchen appliance. It's available for retail now, with a price around $330 USD (which isn't bad considering all its features and the results it creates). Vrghr looks forward to (hopefully) many more cooking sessions with this neat machine!

But here's the recipe for the chicken & maple mustard sauce. (The veggies were just steamed in their "steam and serve" bags in the microwave, so they're not included)
The chicken turned out tender, juicy, and flavorful. And that sauce! WOW! Wuff has done honey-mustard before, but the Maple Mustard brought things to a whole new level! Wuff's addition of the soy sauce and other ingredients added layers and flavor and complexity. Both Vrghr and his friend wanted to eat this right out of the pan, never mind pouring it over some chicken! *GRIN*

Try it! You'll Like It!

INGREDIENTS:

2 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
2 tsp McCormick Grill Mate Chicken Seasoning (or sub similar product)

1/2 C real Maple Syrup (DON'T use imitation "Pancake syrup" for this!)
2 TBS Spicy or Grainy Brown Mustard
3 TBS Dijon Mustard
2 TBS Soy Sauce
1 TBS unseasoned Rice Vinegar (Can sub Cider or White vinegar)
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp ground Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Plus
1 TBS real Maple Syrup
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Sprinkle both sides of the 2 chicken breasts with the McCormick Chicken Seasoning and rub in. Add the chicken to a 1 Quart zip bag

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken in the bag. Kneed to ensure every bit of the chicken is covered

Refrigerate for at least an hour (or over-night. more is better)

Remove from bag and pour the marinade into a small sauce pan. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the extra TBS of Maple Syrup.

If using temperature probe, insert probe into the thickest part of the chicken, being sure to get it at least 2 inches deep

Set Air Fryer for 375F. Air Fry until internal temperature is 155-160F. Depending on your device and the chicken thickness, this will need about 20-35 minutes. Remove and allow to rest at least 8-10 minutes for juices to absorb

While the chicken is cooking, cook the sauce over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until reduced by about 1/3 to 1/2, and coats the back of a spoon, leaving a clean line when you run your finger over it. Set temp to keep warm until chicken is ready

Slice the chicken into strips (optional) and serve over steamed rice (optional). Pour a generous helping of the Maple Mustard sauce over the chicken
