Last night I cooked the best chicken ever. I used a charcoal grill and cooked chicken thighs and drumsticks. The secret, I think, and what made this chicken's flavor so succulent, was the BBQ sauce. You see I infused this sauce with a half bottle of Habenero sauce. Habenero peppers are the second hottest peppers in the world.
So I started by building a fire. You shake a half bag of charcoal briquettes in a clean grill. Then squirt lighter fluid all over the briquettes and light. Wait about twenty-five thirty minutes before applying the meat. At that time you'll have a nice, hot, manly fire. The fire was so hot, last night, that I could feel my crotch swelling. I don't know what it is about a hot fire.
There was nothing particularly special about the chicken—like I said, this shit was so tasty because of the sauce. The Habeneros. Just throw the bits of chicken on the grill and prepare for flare-ups. You don't want the flame touching the chicken because if it does, your drumsticks or thighs or whatever will taste like burnt lighter fluid. Turn them a few times, rotating the outer chicken to the middle of the fire, and close the lid whenever the coals flare up. At this point, with the lid closed, you're creating an oven. Just sit back, be patient, and dance around in the flavorful smoke. And get your sauce ready.
I walked from the patio to the kitchen, pausing in front of the T.V., to get the sauce started. Joel, my roommate, said, "hold on, wait." I stopped, looking at the screen. "Okay, GO," he said. He was playing Resident Evil 4. To those of you who don't know, RE4 is a revolutionary sequel to the whole RE series. It is considered a 'survival horror' game and, in RE4, your job is to rescue the President's daughter from the evil grip of Lord Salazar. Salazar is the leader of a bizarre cult based in an unnamed location in Spanish-speaking Europe. You play an agent of the Raccoon City Police Department, named Leon Scott Kennedy. This game has amazing graphics, control, gameplay, level design, sound—everything. It is the best console game ever made. Okay, you can skip to the next paragraph. To those who do know: right now we're trying to beat Krauser on PRO mode. I already beat the game on normal mode, unlocking Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries (and got a 5* rating on all levels with all characters, unlocking the handcannon [SAY SOMETHING!]). But Krauser is a bitch. He's too powerful.
I ran between Joel and Leon Scott Kennedy and grabbed a plastic bowl and poured a whole bottle of Fred Meyer brand BBQ sauce in the bowl, gloop gloop gloop, and then threw in a couple dashes of Habenero sauce. I started to twist the cap back on the bottle of Habenero sauce and paused. I looked up from the kitchen and everyone was staring at the screen because Joel just put a Killer7 bullet in Krauser's face. Then I quickly unscrewed the cap and tripled the amount of Habenero sauce in the bowl. For some reason, I felt guilty and inconsiderate doing this. As I was shaking the sauce in the bowl, I screamed "ANOTHER KNOTCH, WAH WAH."
"What the fuck?" A voice from the living room. I grabbed the bowl, feeling a little embarrassed, and I started to run across the living room. Then Joel said:
"Wait wait wait." I could hear the buttons clicking. The T.V. went 'chick chick boom hahaha bam uh huh boom boom huh.' Joel said, "NOW" and I ran outside. I plucked the chicken from the grill and dipped them in the sauce. The chicken sizzled as they were being drenched and coated. I put the chicken back on the grill to bake on the sauce and then I took them off a few minutes later, recoated them in more sauce, and then I stacked them in a bright orange plastic bowl that had ghosts and pumpkins printed on the side. Then we grubbed.
I was so hungry that I burned my fingers picking up the hot, dripping, meat. The chicken literally fell off the bone. It was smoky. It burned the shit out of everyone's lips. I couldn't stop laughing. People were screaming "MILK!" or "BREAD, BREAD, WATER, SOMETHING!" I laughed some more and drank, then ate more chicken. After the pussies had their milk, they took another piece and cried all over again. We all sat around the kitchen with BBQ sauce all over our lips, cheeks, and fingers. Sweat beaded on our faces and several people were blowing their noses and wiping their eyes. We were laughing our asses off. And we all agreed: this was the best chicken ever.

the beginning about the grilling was really slow but I enjoyed the writing style.
BTW Habanero IS the hottest chile:
http://www.egconsult.com/Scoville.htm
"The "Red Savina" Habanero has been tested at over 577,000 Scoville units!
This is so much hotter than the normal Habanero chile pepper, that the "Guiness Book of Records" have accepted it as "the hottest chili pepper" in the world. Even now, breeders are attempting to beat this. The new Francisca Habanero is said to be hotter still!"

Are you back?
Are you well?
Are you happy?
I hope the answer to all these questions is, "yes."
Being able to find joy in the simple things seems like a hell of an improvement over the "old" Murphy, and as Hair said, "this makes me glad."

Well-written. I don't know if I'm going to quite gush like Apollo, but it was good anyhow.
Once, when my band was jamming in this house I was renting at the time, our drummer chopped up two full Habenero peppers into a single pan of faquitas. Various other 'weaker' peppers and spices were also added until the resulting concoction was on the verge of being unedible. We were all literally crying and laughing at the same time while trying to eat this shit - cursing our drummer for both ruining the meal, and creating probably one of the greatest faquita dinners we'd ever tasted. The stuff was hot as Satan's crotch, but it was so good, it was worth it.
A word of advice to the uninitiated: if you're going to lick Satan's crotch, i.e. eat what amounts to an army's helping of Habenero peppers in one setting, fuck the badass image shit...JUST DRINK THE MILK!

The use of the word "glad" seems so out of place here.
Gave me the warm fuzzies none the less....about spicy grilled chicken.

This was a great description of grilling spicy chicken, but then again, it was so much more. Actually, nevermind, it's pretty much just about grilling spicy chicken.

Jesus, thanks apollo. Now I'm gushing.
JMG: The first hottest peppers, from what I've heard, don't have a name. THEY HAVE A NUMBER! Seriously. It has something to do with the "capscum" scale or something (too lazy to look it up). Habenero peppers are sufficient enough for me.

You are the most gifted with prose writer on this site.
Some have better ideas, some are funnier but you are polished, almost the finished atricle.
