Chicken cordon bleu tonight! The side is the first zucchini from our garden! Delicious meal. I grilled the chicken and zucchini on our @recteq_official Trailblazer at 375 until the chicken reached 162 internal. #recteq #recteqlifestyle #recteqtrailblazer #pelletgrill #chicken #chickencordonbleu #cordonbleu #bokbok #zuchinni #mustardsauce (at Southern Hills) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRp1xLfnbfb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Main Brackets!

There are four brackets [Fave, Pretty, True, Four] comprising of 32 birds, for a total of 128 birds in this poll! I will reblog a version of this post with every bird listed via text within their bracket, so it is easier to find for those with image issues. It's gonna take a while to actually put the posts together for the first round, seeing as there are 64 battles happening, so expect the polls to go up around July 12th.

Below is a link for submitting any cool facts or info about the birds you want to win. It's not necessary to send info here, but I like to give the option to infodump about birds, and it helps with keeping things organized. As a heads up, the submission box is capped at one response only (with up to three birds in said response) just to keep things from getting cluttered.

As per tumblr etiquette, you are totally free to reblog the polls themselves with as much propoganda as you want. These submissions are just to help me fill the poll post with some cool facts.

Chicken and pork tenderloin roulade tonight similar to chicken cordon bleu with aged Swiss and Italian breadcrumbs. I seasoned the chicken and pork with some @sneakygreens Himalayan pink salt, black pepper and kale. They make the seasonings local and they are an added plus when you want to go simple. Served with an @unclebensusa rice and salad. Good eats! The roll up was baked indirect on a @kamadojoe over @fogocharcoal at 350 for about 25 minutes until we hit 165 in a few spots. #chicken #porktenderloin #roulade #chickenandporkroulade #chickenandporkrollup #cordonbleu #cordonblue #chickencordonbleu #sneakygreens #breadcrumbs #swiss #swisscheese #ooeygooey #fogocharcoal #kickashbasket #kamadojoe #kamadojoenation (at Southern Hills, Springfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8eUxennqG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pguxul13utl3
