Tumbled Thighs, ABT's & Brats !!

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, at the request of my kiddos decided to fire up the smokers yesterday.... Gotta give a shout out to Case, I tried his Amped Up Scarbelly Recipe for 1/2 of the thighs.... So, here we go !

So 1/2 the thighs, done a mixture of Franks Buffalo Sauce, beer, butter & blue cheese. Tossed mixture in a saucepan to melt & mix together.

Last batch just about done in the tumbler ! I will add here that the tumbler seemed to change the skin a bit, didn't crisp up like normal.... Then again it just may have been the guy running the minis fault ! :biggrin:

Plated pic ! Thighs, ABTs & brats with the wife's fresh garden salad & blue cheese dressing ! The dressing is from a small family business here locally called Chiz's & they have the most amazing Blue Cheese & Ranch dressing ! I can dang near eat it by the teaspoon alone, yea it's that dang good !

Couple things I'll note, I'll be trying the tumbler again with the skin not crisping up like I am used to... It was ok, don't get me wrong... Just not the crispiness I am used too ! My wife & kids thought it was good ! The amped up recipe, thanks again Case.... WOW ! The flavor was awesome ! I'll also do more ABTs with the blue cheese here & there, it was a nice flavor & change up as well !


Thanks for lookin all !

Thanks Foam ! Ya know the sous chefs did help but were for some reason camera shy at the time ! Imagine that, the ones always saying "Hey Dad, did ya get a pic of me doing this, hey how bout a pic of that, hey... hey see this, get a pic, hey ! " LOL. Good Lord ! I don't know what I'd do without em though ! :biggrin:

This is point deserving meal.

Glad you're experimenting with the tumbler. We know it kicks butt for boneless skinless breasts for sure.
