- [Narrator] Welcome to bbqpitboys.com.
Today, today we're gonna do up some chili corn chowder
on the grill and it's real easy to do.
All right, I've got about a dozen here of corn here.
These here are fresh pit, they've got plenty
of juice flavor in them.
For this recipe, you're gonna need some water,
you gonna need some heavy cream
and here I've got some diced chili peppers.
And you're gonna need some Chipotle pepper
in adobo sauce right there, here's a couple of onions.
You're gonna need some oil, gonna need some butter.
Oh yeah, gotta have butter.
And you're gonna some chicken stock,
or whatever stock you got going on.
All right.
Of course, this chowder's gonna have some bacon.
So, we've got some thick sliced bacon going on here.
Oh, this smells good.
All right, let's put this chowder together here.
Now, I'm going to show some of you newbies here
about shucking corn, how we wanna do it here.
And you just pull off the silk as well.
You trim it up a bit, that makes it
a little bit easier for handling later on,
I'll show you about that.
All right.
You gotta shuck 'em.
Like I said, these are fresh pit,
probably only about six, eight hours fresh.
They're just screaming with juice and flavor.
This is where you wanna get your corn on the cob
whenever you can, all right.
Let me show you a couple more.
Now, if you've had this chili corn chowder
with bacon before, definitely gonna check this out.
You veggiemanics, you're even gonna love it.
All right, through the miracle of time,
the onion's have been chopped,
the corn has been shucked and we're gonna be roasting
these corn cobs here on the grill.
Kind of on a medium heat.
Before I throw them on there,
I'm gonna hit 'em with some oil.
It's gonna help give it a nice char.
All right.
All right, the grill is setup for indirect heating
and we're placing these corn cobs
directly over the medium heat here.
It's only gonna take maybe five minutes to cook 'em.
Bacon's coming on real good.
All right, that's the way you wanna get these corn cobs.
You wanna get that smoky flavor in there.
And the sweet sugars are caramelizing.
Oh yeah.
This is why you gotta do your chowder on the grill.
Take a look at that.
You don't wanna use any canned corn.
This is the way you do it.
All right.
We've got these just about the way we want 'em.
Get them off the grill.
Just eat one of those right now with a little bit of butter,
that's all you need, right.
Yeah.
All right.
Now here, I've got a black iron pot
and I'm gonna use this to saute up some onions.
And here we've got four tablespoons
of butter going in there.
This here is about three cups of chopped onion.
You just wanna cook 'em down just a little bit.
Man, I knew it was gonna be smelling this.
All right, the bacon is done.
And we used about three quarter pound
of thick cut like I was saying here.
You could go a pound of bacon for this recipe real easy.
All right, this is what you wanna do,
just chop 'em up in small pieces.
Easy enough.
Now, we'll just throw this chopped bacon
right in this pot of onions.
Now, we've got those diced green chilies.
That's about a 4 1/2, five ounce can right there.
And I'm putting in there those,
about four Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
and that's the heat to this dish.
Now, if you don't like the heat,
you can leave those out, but no,
you'll want the Chipotle peppers in there.
Mix it up.
Now, here I've got about two quarts
of chicken broth or chicken stock.
You can use a veggie stock for this if you want.
Chicken stock taste real good though.
All right.
We're gonna cook that now
for about 20, 25 minutes real slow.
And while we're waiting, what we're gonna do now
is shave these corn cobs.
Now, real fresh corn like this,
you're going after all that tender kernels,
all the milk underneath, what they call milk,
it's all those sugars, sweet, oh man.
You can't get it out of the can.
See how easy it is to do?
You've done this before right?
Now, like I said, we're gonna be shaving
about a dozen here.
You could go maybe a dozen and a half
for this recipe if you want.
You see that?
That's where all that milk nectar is.
That's the sweet taste of the corn.
Oh yeah, baby.
Now, I could fast forward this here
but I kinda like doing this, you know.
So, just hang in there and watch.
(laughs)
Yeah.
See that?
There's your flavor.
That caramelized corn right there.
That's the magic.
We're making real good corn chowder right there.
All right, you've seen enough of that.
All right, corn has been shaved.
I'm gonna throw it in this pot.
Look at that.
Give it a good mix.
It looks good enough to eat already.
Look at that.
All right.
Now, we're gonna take about four cups of heavy cream.
That's right, heavy cream.
If we're gonna have good corn chowder,
you gotta go for it.
Look at that.
Do you smell that?
It smells good.
All right.
Put the cover on.
Gonna let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
Now, to thicken this chowder, here I've got
some corn masa or it's called masa.
You could use a corn flour or cornmeal
and we got about maybe four tablespoons in there
and we'll just gonna add some water to mix.
Now, you could use more if you wanna
get your chowder real thick.
But about four tablespoons or so
would work just fine with this recipe.
Man, you getting hungry or what?
All right.
Let's throw in this masa.
Good stir.
This will thicken up.
All right.
Through the miracle of time, this chili corn chowder
with bacon is done.
Take a look at that, huh.
Man, let your manics reduce.
I say it's time to eat.
Now, you can serve up your corn chowder any way you want.
I do apologize, I'm gonna have to eat some of this
right in front of you, right.
First, never enough heat.
You can take a few drops of your
favorite hot sauce in there.
Leave it just the way it is.
It's got good amount of heat.
(grunts)
Now, you've got some of them oyster crackers,
they go good, try that.
Or some sourdough bread.
Talk about a meal.
