I would suggest butchering your whole birds, use the breasts as written, and then use the legs for something else. I suggest confit. Here's a great recipe. http://honest-food.net/wild-game/duck-goose-recipes/duck-leg-recipes/duck-or-goose-confit/
1. Raise our own beef. Would love to with pigs and chickens but they require more constant supervision and I like my travel time.
2. Cuts change. If you don't like the way it's cut, talk to your butcher.
3. I like prime rib.
4. Only TV I watch is stupid sitcoms. They might be horrible but...
Plan has altered slightly. My parents are the ones that bought the meat and got thighs only. I've done leg quarters before but I don't know if this will change my cooking time much. Also, the shoulders they got are over 9lbs Boston butt roasts so I'm going to start them earlier then planned. We...
I have done them two ways. Both start out the same in that I wrap a pineapple chunk with bacon (if the chunks are small I wrap two of them with one piece of bacon) and then I stick them on a 250* smoker for an hour to an hour and a half. At this point, the bacon is fairly crispy. Then, I mix up...
This weekend will be the test of my smoking ability. My dad retired after 38 years of military service and we are doing a big party. I am smoking two pork shoulders and about 20 pounds of chicken leg quarters. My brother @hoss103 is doing a brisket. I'm also going to throw a fatty on for lunch...
And they're worse then crack. I haven't had any for a week and a half and I'm jonesing for some bad. Wish I want working 11 hour days but Saturday will be here soon enough.
Yesterday we got rained out at work so I decided to try something a little different. I thought I was inventing something new while doing it but now I see this thread and realize I'm a year late. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/169285/my-first-fattie-chicken-cordon-bleu-fattie/0_100 I forgot...
Honestly, I'd go with an electric and one of the cheap generators when you don't have power. Some are very quiet, not bad price, and could be used for many different things.
Melamine board. It is cheap and is used as the backboard for cheap showers. FYI, it is also what whiteboards are made out of so you can write your recipes as you go.
It's official, I hate you. These have to be the most addictive things I have ever made. I smoked them and then added the pan with the sauce to the smoker, mostly because it's too hot to turn on the oven and they turned out great. My parents and grandparents keep asking me to make them again and...
After cutting it up to serve I realized the eggs spun when I rolled it and most of the slices showed egg like that. I'll take credit for skill but I'm not that good.
No updates? How did it end up?
Also, I don't mean to criticize but I see Boy Scout Water (lighter fluid). Have you tried a chimney starter? They start the coals more evenly and without the off taste.
