Teriyaki Chicken Wings for a Party
David Herzog
4 qt. pineapple juice
2 qt. soy sauce
4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 c. fresh ginger, sliced
½ c. garlic crushed
20 lbs. chicken wings, sectioned and tipped, or 15 to 18 lbs. pre-sectioned wings.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic; mix well until sugar is dissolved. Section wings, and place into 1 gallon zip lock bags or a 16 quart, clean ice chest, set tips aside in 1 gallon water. Boil tips for chicken broth for other uses.
Place wing sections into marinade in the ice chest or in zip lock bags and let marinate for 2 hours minimum, overnight is best. Preheat a 20” Dutch oven and drain marinade from wing sections. Place wings into well oiled Dutch oven and bake covered for 45 to 60 minutes at 350o. Serve hot.
Serves 48
Dave’s Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
12 lbs. fancy mixed small fingerling, red, and purple potatoes
¼ c. bacon fat and oil, mixed
2 Tbs. rosemary
1 Tbs. herbs fines
½ c water or broth
Preheat a 16” Dutch oven over medium high heat. Meanwhile wash the potatoes and cut the larger potatoes in half to make a uniform size (large bite sized). Add oil and bacon fat into Dutch oven then add the potatoes. Fry potatoes 15 minutes stirring frequently to coat and keep from burning.
Add rosemary and herbs, stir to coat. Pour in water or broth and cover. Cook 35 to 40 minutes more, stirring occasionally or until potatoes are fork tender but not mushy.
Serves 36 to 48

An Informative Feature on FTA Dishes
Known as one of the most useful and advanced data receivers that show efficiency in decoding audio and video signals, Free-to-Air (FTA) dish features sophisticated interfaces that have the capacity to identify several kinds of data transmitter systems. Before installing and using such technology, it is beneficial to first identify some of the equipment featured in this satellite dish. In this way, people can maximize the uses of having FTA dishes in their own places.
Special Features of FTA Receivers
For those who have interest in purchasing, installing, and using FTA receivers, they need to look at the special features of the equipment to be able to use them properly and efficiently. For instance, many FTA dishes have Low Noise Blockers that are equipped with feed horns. Feed horns provide channels for the receivers to effectively get data from various sources in different locations, while Low Noise Blockers are responsible for the conversion of data from radio and electromagnetic waves to electric frequencies. In addition, FTA dishes are equipped with a special dish that is capable of receiving data that follow Digital Television formats.
Information on C-Band Systems in FTA Dishes
Every FTA receiver features interfaces that are compatible with C-Band systems in order for the equipment to receive C-Band signals. Technically speaking, C-Band is one of the portions in electromagnetic spectrum that are very useful in radio and television broadcasting. Additionally, the microwave frequency of C-Band is very essential to create a form of communication that uses open satellite systems. In order to function well, FTA dishes with C-Band systems use feature Television Receive Only interfaces.
Overview of Ku-Band Systems in FTA Dishes
Aside from C-Band systems, FTA dishes also feature Ku-Band systems, which are very useful in television broadcasting. These two systems are very similar but unlike C-Band, which is found within four to eight gigahertz of the electromagnetic spectrum, Ku-Band lies within 12 to 18 gigahertz of the same spectrum. The utility of Ku-Band system can be realized in isolated areas. With the presence of this system, television networks are still able to transmit data and signals to homes and commercial establishments in remote places.
Advantage of C-Band Over Ku-Band
Both C-Band and Ku-Band are very useful in the functionality and efficiency of FTA dishes. Additionally, these systems have similar functions. However, C-Band are advantageous than Ku-Band because it is very flexible and the proportion of the power of C-Band are always adjusted to fit the needs of FTA satellites.
Distinct Uses of FTA Dishes
Television broadcasting networks use FTA dishes because these are very useful in their daily operations. However, people can also maximize the uses of the dishes if they know their special uses. These receivers are important to receive MPEG-2 signals, which on the other hand is essential to the functionality of digital television systems. As soon as MPEG-2 signals are received, the dishes convert them into frequencies, which are transmitted to television sets in different locations. Thus, with the use of the equipment, people can view different television channels in their homes even if they do not subscribe to television broadcasting service providers.
