Friend of my wife decided to call last night and say she doesn't have money to buy food for a baby shower she's throwing her at OUR house. Well anyway all I got are some bone/skinless, already got them brining. First question, anyone try rubbin them with mayo then adding seasoning to preserve some moisture? Also I'm planning on doing them about 225 till about 155-160 whens best time to add sauce? their about 3 oz chik breast so the smaller ones about how long till I get the temp i don't like checking a lot so I wanted a ball park time to expect temp. Any other suggestions would be appreciated to, thanks.

Also just made some killer sweet sauce I wanted to post incase anyone wanted to try: saute about two spoonfuls of minced garlic, few cinnamon sticks and half cup chopped onions in some butter. Add 1 cup real maple syrup 3 cups ketchup. Once everything is cooled half cup of brown sugar for texture then another half cup of applesauce for a little texture and flavor also. I never really measure just make it to taste, its idiot proof so play with flavors you like it comes out great!
 
For my personal taste - I would not use the mayo. You are going to want that chicken to crisp up even without the skin

Do you have any pasta ? If so here is an easy appetizer that is cheap

ANGEL HAIR FLANS

Printed from COOKS.COM

Non stick vegetable spray
Salt
3 oz. angel hair pasta (capellini)
3 lg. eggs
1 c. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Black pepper
1 c. grated imported Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini muffin tins with vegetable cooking spray. Cook pasta in 2 quarts of water until tender. Drain and pat dry. divide pasta evenly among the mini muffin tins. Set aside. In mixing bowl, place eggs, cream, nutmeg and salt, pepper and 2/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese.

Mix well to blend. Pour the mixture into the molds, dividing it evenly. Sprinkle tops of flans with remaining Parmesan cheese. Place molds in oven. Bake until flams are set, puffed and lightly browned about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
 
I feel it will be hard to keep them from being tough and dry(just MHO). Suggestion: cook till just done and shred and place in a slow coker with a bit of sauce .Buns , Pickles , Chopped Green Onion ,condiments and Drinks on the side.

It will look a bit better than pieces with burnt spots on it , Trish said it would appeal to the guest more and more portable, no cutting in thier laps ; even a sitdown will go smoother too. Not much to fool around with...just my .02 worth.

Since your brining I feel you'll be OK as for them staying moist... just cook to 160`- 165`... when they hit about 150` you can start saucing...

You can prolly go as high as 175 before you start to see any loss in moisture...

Pork Shots are a good little quick snack type deal... take your pick http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/search.php?search=pork+shots

If anyone had any mayo luck let me know if not I will be experimenting tomorrow ill post the results. When I temp chick should I keep checking same breast? Will the hole allow juice to seap out? Thank for the temps jck
