What are some of your non traditional cooking techniques?

Think of an ingredient that might seem out of place for the cuisine that you think improves the dish. One I was reminded of that I haven't made in a while is a blended tomato soup with a touch of fish sauce. As long as you don't over do it I find it really elevates an already good classic.

Soy sauce in chicken noodle soup hits the spot

I could definitely see that working

Think beer can chicken.
However, cut bottom out of beer keg.
Made a stand to hold turkey upright.
Placed keg over bird.
Shoveled lit charcoal around keg and some on top.
Turkey was really good.

I put Worcestershire sauce in damn near everything savory - spaghetti sauce, stews, chili - anything that needs a hit of umami.
Also, a pack of Lipton onion soup mix + a pound of ground beef = really good hamburgers.

A little dash of cinnamon in pork marinade, sometimes.

Not an ingredient, but when I'm making chicken legs, I cook them on the propane grill with indirect heat and then finish them over the flame with the top off. I've found that it makes the chicken much more crispy, which I prefer.

Vanilla, butter and nut extract (now called cake batter extract) in my French toast mixture with Cajun Power vanilla sugar and cinnamon. So good.

Cardamom, allspice, and cinnamon with butter on a sweet potato.

Cinnamon in chili.
Also a chocolate bar in chili (learned this trick on this board a while back, and it's a game changer)
A stick of butter in red beans at the end of the cook.

Nutmeg in mashed potatoes. Just a touch, but it adds a killer background flavor

i keep a jar of pickled jalapenos vinger around to splash into pots of greens, beans, and soups/stews.
not going to have a tire company rate my kitchen or anything but it's a nice way to use all of a product

I add it to cole slaw. Very good.
A dollop of Mexican Crema in crawfish ettoufee helps the butter "sauce" emulsify and evens it out nicely.
