Even with working out I put on about 15 pounds in the past 5 months . . . A lot of it because the posts here drive me to smoking awesome food! The cold smoked cheese, pounds of brown sugar rubs, beef, PP bark, bacon, sausage, and on and on. So I've had to start making some drastic calorie cuts and do some other things to be healthier. I picked up some Mrs Dash Fiesta Lime for a batch of chicken breasts tonight and Mrs Dash Chipotle to test on a Pulled Pork. Both are salt and sugar free. I put this in General Discussion because I'm crossing a lot of lanes.
First chicken:
Smoked in MES at 275 with hickory.
My daughter decided MES needed some personality. One huge benefit to the MES! No way I'd let her get too close to my kettles or Offset!
Chicken came out awesome! Hickory smoke goes perfect with Fiesta Lime rub. I made enough to chop up for chicken salad and stuffed peppers. This also would go great with smoked Gouda BBQ pizza and a little cilantro!
I won't lie and say that I don't miss the salt, but there is a ton of flavor that makes this very satisfying. For anyone interested in cutting salt down/out I recommend it.
