Main Dish

Arrange chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish. Heavily season with Orange Pepper and let sit for about 1 hour. Bake, covered, at 350ºF until tender, about 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 165ºF. If BBQing, grill chicken over a medium charcoal fire for upto 1 hour until internal temperature reaches 165ºF. For a tangy twist, juice two limes over the chicken with about 5 minutes left.

Serve with Spanish Style Rice:
Brown 1 cup of rice with 1 Tbs olive oil. Add ½ cup onions and 1 clove of chopped garlic and sautée in 5 minutes. In a separate pot, boil 2 cups of water with 2 Tbs Bolner’s Fiesta Brand® Chicken Tomato Concentrate. Slowly add boiling water to rice and cover, lower heat and let simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit but do not uncover or stir for 5 minutes. Fluff, and enjoy!

In Texas, going fishing down on the coast is an activity that many enjoy year-round. However, deciding what to pack to keep your hunger at bay can be a daunting task. Let’s face it – peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese roll-ups can only indulge one so far. Over the last 15 years, our Uncle Chris has perfected what we like to call the “fishing sandwich,” and it has since become a staple of our family gatherings down at Port Aransas. These sandwiches can feed a hungry group whether you are out on the water or relaxing on the sand with an ice-cold beverage.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Yields: Two French bread loaves can make enough sandwiches to serve six people. A loaf of bread typically makes about 10-15 sandwiches.

Instructions

1. Cut bread loaves lengthwise in half to separate the top and bottom of the loaves.

6. Layer cheese and meats on top, finishing with a layer of Feta.
7. Close the sandwiches, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and let all the delicious flavors meld together overnight in the fridge. Try not to lose any sleep about how delicious these are going to be the next day!
8. Before heading to the beach or boat ramp, cut the sandwich into 2-inch slices and pack 1 slice per sandwich bag. Toss them into the cooler for easy access. For the adventurous, bring the whole sandwich to the beach! 😉
