10:25
that sasson is doing yeah
10:27
yeah and really getting those flavors to
10:29
come out we're gonna throw
10:31
break up our bouillon cube and add that
10:32
in there okie doke really love the way
10:35
that looks at any point now you can drop
10:38
that chicken in okay
10:40
we'll let it get some of this all right
10:41
into it because that's really where the
10:43
flavor is
10:45
and as you're dropping that chicken in
10:47
there now it's time that we add the
10:48
beans until our okay mix and that looks
10:51
to be about one can of beans yes so it's
10:54
just like a red kidney bean that we're
10:56
using but you can use pinto beans white
10:59
white beans any of those canned beans
11:02
albert tell me about this home run
11:04
chicken is it a superstition i love the
11:07
way she prepares it and not just me but
11:11
the other guys in the team you know it
11:13
works most of the time so we decided to
11:16
call on the home run chickens
11:17
and chicken i love that so whenever i
11:19
struggle
11:21
uh let's say we're playing atlanta or
11:23
new york or anywhere i can't wait until
11:25
i get home because i need a honduran
11:26
chickens if i can hit it like popeye
11:28
needs this can of spinach yes you need
11:31
your home run chicken
11:34
it looks delicious
11:36
all right d.d how much of the cumin um
11:40
about a teaspoon okay and uh so just
11:43
sprinkle sprinkle
11:45
and then you add your one teaspoon of
11:46
chili powder okie dough
11:50
and then lastly you add your tomato
11:51
paste okay a tablespoon of tomato paste
11:57
it's stuck in there there we go
11:59
how about i help you there you go
12:02
and uh the last thing that we have to do
12:04
is add enough water to be able to coat
12:06
over the chicken all right now you've
12:08
got salt here we're gonna add some salt
12:11
well we're gonna wait once our water
12:12
begins to boil we can kind of just taste
12:14
for the saltiness but you know once this
12:16
water starts to evaporate and becomes
12:18
the reduction it will get more salty as
12:20
it sits there this is gonna be fabulous
12:22
over that rice it really is a good
12:25
combination that was probably two or
12:27
three cups of water that dede put in
12:30
there all righty so we're underway we've
12:32
got a grip on it the geyser down there
12:35

13:21
y'all didi and i are fixing to make the
13:23
guys and us
13:24
a fresh tangerine cake didi is breaking
13:28
us up three eggs
13:30
and into our bowl i'm gonna measure out
13:33
two and a half cups
13:36
of all-purpose flour
13:38
have you ever had a tangerine cake no
13:40
but i love tangerine do you and i love
13:42
tangerine juice look look at that the
13:44
guys the guys squeezed us some fresh
13:47
tangerine juice all right just whip up
13:49
those eggs and i'm gonna add
13:52
one and three-fourths cup of sugar
13:55
well i love it here we go i love sugar
13:58
too is albert a big sweet eater
14:01
uh he is one
14:03
he doesn't like chocolate though
14:04
two what but he will eat this cake it's
14:07
a big cake guys well there's no
14:09
chocolate in this cake so we're in luck
14:11
now over here we're gonna add one
14:13
teaspoon of baking powder
14:16
we're gonna add one and a half teaspoons
14:19
of baking soda
14:23
just stir it up
14:26
about a half a teaspoon of salt so
14:28
that's all of our dry ingredients y'all
14:31
all right i'm gonna measure us up a cup
14:34
of vegetable oil
14:36
and you can get your mixer
14:39
i'm just gonna pour this all in there
14:42
and a carton an eight-ounce carton of
14:45
sour cream
14:47
and we're just gonna beat it up
14:49
along with your eggs we're gonna throw
14:51
my eggs in them yeah throw your eggs in
14:57
and our cup of oil and this all y'all is
15:00
going to give us such a moist
15:04
cake
15:04
we're going to use a cup of tangerine
15:07
juice that the boys squeeze for us
15:09
and then a heaping tablespoon of
15:12
tangerine zest
15:16
that's it
15:19
all right so all we're gonna do now is
15:22
separate our batter i don't know if you
15:23
have a
15:25
particular method
15:27
but to me getting them even yeah to
15:29
getting them even as you know you can
15:31
weigh them
15:33
but to me this works real well
15:37
you know one cup
15:39
one cup
15:41
until i've got it all done
15:44
see the air bubbles coming up i like to
15:46
just bang my cakes and that helps
15:49
prevent your cakes from having like
15:50
holes in them
15:52
so knock that one out a bit
15:57
all right so we're gonna put our cake
15:59
y'all in a 350
16:01
preheated oven and we're gonna bake them
16:04
for 25 minutes
16:06
