BIG JOHN'S CALGARY STAMPEDE FLAP-JACKS
This tasty(if unhealthy)recipe is one I've used during Stampede Breakfasts for years. These are real "stick to the ribs" western flap-jacks that will wreck any diet in seconds. I've always had a large electric or very large gas griddle to use, but one that will cook 4 at a time will do as well. Can be eaten with your hands, but not with syrup!!

Steps:
- Put chicken in a shallow bowl and add onion, thyme, parsley, bell peppers, tomatoes, rosemary, garlic, salt and peppers, soy sauce and lime juice.
- Let stand at least 2 hours, turning to coat.
- Heat oil in a heavy skillet.
- Add sugar and let it brown and bubble.
- Add chicken and let it brown thoroughly, about 10 minutes, turning to brown evenly.
- Add marinade and cook on low heat, covered, until tender: about 45 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure your griddle or frying pan is hot enough before adding the batter. This will help the flapjacks cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the griddle or frying pan. Leave enough space between the flapjacks so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the flapjacks over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Flip the flapjacks once they start to bubble and the edges are slightly brown.
- Cook the flapjacks until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the flapjacks immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
