like me all right let's head outside to Jason and Alex guys well it is the season of graduation parties and as we know cooking for large crowds can be a little bit challenging yes but there's one person with a lot of helpful hints and a lot of great recipes Rob from cooking for dad's dad yes so let's get started cuz we have recipes and tips so let's start right Russell we have top five recipes I've actually top five tips i added one don't have one this weekend because it's edina art fair in the weather is always bad supposed to be okay I will take that money it's going to hail and sleep you terrible so just move it inside be done all right we're gonna make one thing french tip number five is just make one thing fresh have everything else made ahead of time we're gonna make one large recipe that you can make for you know I've done this four hundred people or 100 over however when you're coming to do one rescue is easy to do you make the day in advance and then cook fresh and so we're gonna do a sesame chicken we're gonna get this big bag of the chicken tenderloins from costco it's about 60 to 70 in here so that'll feed tweddle on a chance one of the dirty people all you're gonna do is stall this out two days in advance the night before you're going to take your lighthouse sesame ginger dressing you can use any but this is my favorite we're going to dump that in a bag model get the whole bottle in the bag and that's our marinade we're actually going to add just a little bit of water you get the excess out and also complete sense that you're using the same bag that you bought them in right and so you just do this the night before squeeze off the extra air and you are in overnight keeping the fridge of course okay yeah overnight sweet up the air so that it is covered and that is your nicely marinated chicken got it all right so it looks like this they all you get you the son of your friends to the grill make sure it's not you that's tip number four letters you get you no talkie with you leave me the hose right chicken so you have someone who you trust to to the grill this is key yes someone to trust okay now you said so you cook fresh one thing well you got your friend on the grill you already marinated the chicken all I have to focus is on is cooking the chicken right because anything else we're gonna make ahead of time and so that's one of the other tips make sides that work well okay ahead of time like for instance don't move over here but I know you're of salads and here's a lovely pasta salad with grapes and looks like chicken chicken and whatever in some pepper this is great because it gets better overnight if you do a lettuce salad you know it's a lot of work not so much to do this you know do some chips and salsa remember you're you're you're not trying to make some big ensemble of Amelia making everyone's favorites that they come back so we're gonna do something we're just gonna get some salsa and then um aspects of that so smell lemon aren't you throwing some cilantro here anyone to just put it in here just put it in and stir it all he's in the lime do your part I'll stir stir you could sorry there we go you go sir games you're taking you know you've added a lot to that salsa just right off the bat so you've got some chips you got some salsa you've got your your sides do these all ahead of time today before it also works better I see a condiment station sprite so what we're gonna do with the sesame chicken is we're gonna make sandwiches so you get some rolls you guys couldn't even help yourselves if you want grab a plate grab a roll grab some sesame chicken so you get these things in an orderly faster you get people lined up at the table and this is greg has been so buffet-style basically is right the best right you want to have an open thing and so the other trip is on a buffet you want to make sure you replace don't refresh so if this gets low don't add more to it you have to take it out bring another bowl in and I'm using two pieces I don't care what the rules right right right then we have a variety of sauces we have peanut sauce you can make like before this very good and it's also has a ranch dressing lettuce please end tomato right you can use another sesame ginger marinade or you can just you can use blue cheese whatever just people can kind of come in and add some sauce lettuce and tomato yeah Betty Crocker and then I'd like some chips please yeah you can get those yourself some chicken salad I know you're making my plate like it like you would for a child but this
