Now after the rinse, rinse it again and when you think your done rinse again then on the drying rack with a fan blowing gently on them for at least an hr or till the meat is dry and sticky

That looks good.
Was it moist ?
Dang! That is our favorite 'white' meat cut of choice... What was the recipe if you don't mind me asking?
C'mon now, post the recipe. I will tell you if its really simple or not. ;D
I add my voice to the last three.

They were not dry, could have ben a little more moist but I did over cook them a little, they cooked faster than I expected and i was preoccupied ::)
Thanks! I need to give that a try.. I will just have to be careful about where to leave them standing for 2 hours. (w/ two new furry carnivores in the house)
