Smoked Chicken Tonight!

Smoked Chicken Tonight!

I love this smoker. Its a competition type pellet smoker. Fast Eddy 100. You can control the heat from 185 to 450. smoke or roast or both, I used to cook bbq professionally which is why I have the contraption.

I used cherry wood tonight and its real good on chicken Ill say that. I smoked this chicken at 190 for 50 minutes then roasted at 360 for about an hour. I did brush lightly with sauce once 15 minutes before it was done.

OMFG it was good. Its been a while since I cranked er up. I picked up some ribs too so Ill probably show you guys what my saint louis style pork ribs look like in the next week or so.

MMMMMMmmmmmm

peace

Hey MickeyBlue42 Thanks much!

Well Im happy to share information. One of the great pleasures of life is good food so naturally I love to cook.

Since I posted that chicken, lets start there. When I had my restaraunt, I made my own rub and did some extra things to get a great product. Lately Ive been using Byrons Butt Rub on everything even chicken and I love it.

General Chicken info: Whether you roast in the oven or the smoker, the concensus is that when you cook a whole bird, or halves, the breast is finished before the hip joint can get cooked through, and we all know you dont want a dry breast or a bloody thigh. Its not like you cannot get a juicy breast AND a completely cooked thigh, but the range is small for that so a good way to end up with prefectly juicy and done chicken is to brine for at least a couple hours first. No longer than 10 hours or you get a mushy product... I use salt and sugar in my brine. Goes something like this: 1 gal water, 3/4 cup salt, 3/4 cup sugar. You can add a little soy sauce and some herbs if you want and you will probably like that you did. Make sure you rinse the chicken very well and pat dry after you brine it. (then rub) The brine does 2 things, one it adds flavor in the meat through osmosis which then even if you are a skin tosser, you will have tasty chicken and secondly it ups the overall moisture content thereby keeping the breast juicy while completely cooking the thigh.

I generally look for 170 degrees at the thigh joint or if Im cooking halves @ 375 in the smoker, I know that they will be done in apx 1 hour and 10 minutes. Your results may vary so you gotta pay attention to your results and learn.
ps- the reason I like to cook them hotter than 350 is to get crispier skin.

peace

Smoke Buddy , thanks sooo much !!

I am DEFINITELY going to put these together. The shipping to get stuff here is crazy. I am in the middle of nowhere

Unfortunately I dont have a smoker but lets just say where I am , people live to barbeque and summer is around the corner... cant wait!

I am definitely going to try and get my hands on a smoking box.

 

[Puddin'tane]

just caught this thread cruisin the forums, you guys oughtta try smoking some sea salt!
talk about one simple ingredient having such a complex outcome no matter what it's sprinkled on.

here's what I made last night

 

[Bababooey]

babe!! 7.5kg - 5h - 25kg coal -lots of fun...and a lot of men watching the pig turnnig for hours....was very meditative

This is both awesome and a little bit horrifying...

 

[Smoke Buddy]

That pig look ridiculous!! Dayumm Good!!

I didnt get many pics but here was last nights din-din:

I trim the flap off the back and take the silverskin off. Rub with mustard and the your fav rub. Smoke at 220 3.5 hours, remove, wrap with foil, in for another hour. Then I fire up the grill, flip the rack on high brushing with your fav sauce til sizzling and bubbleing.. I added a little strawberry jam to some off the shelf sauce... it was killer... Also smoked a whole chicken to go with the ribs...

 

[bromhexine]

[Smoke Buddy]

and Im trying to figure out how to fit one of those suckling pigs into my smoker!!

 

[Bababooey]

Ah, the suckling pig. I forgot what baby pigs were called.
Btw, Smokebuddy, those ribs and chicken look finger-lickin' good.

Hello all,

For tonights faire (sp-fare?) we have Alice Springs chicken: chicken breast flame-grilled and topped with sautéed mushrooms, crisp strips of bacon, melted Monterey Jack
and Cheddar and finished with our honey mustard sauce.

We also have shrimp: Marinated in a lemon juice, celantro, shallot, thyme, parsley, garlic, oregano mixture then pan seared to perfection servered with a spicy slightly sweet tomato/chili/sour cream dipping sauce (not in picture-opps).

Bread stuffing,

Cottage cheese w/ non-salt seasoning (mrs Dash) and bread w/ butter.

All washed down with a rolling Rock which is only appropriate since I am rolling stoned.

Enjoy all, I sure did and was sure to take a pic.

PS: I am a fortunate man....but for the grace of God go I
