I was actually having trouble finding a pre injected breast. The bbq restaurant owner guy told me he buys them from a whole sale joint. Not sure if my cabinetry business can get an account with them lol
I encourage any "red flags" someone might see in my posts. Rather be safe/accurate then...
I know this wasnt previously brined.
I did look for that. The owner of the local bbq restraunt went on a big speech to me about that a few weeks back. Lol
now I always check.
I switched to this charcoal by accident.. I wouldnt have purchased it had the it been priced correctly (waayyy more than what im used to paying)
I have to say. How fast the chimney turned into fully glowing coals and how hot it felt to be around it was VERY noticable!
Interesting!
That's a good idea
Im keeping this bird at a fairly low temp here.
Im just smoking it at around 225
Its actually just about to break even at the 140 in 4 mark
About 21 hours of buttermilk brine
Out of the brine and rinsed
I pat it dry, then air dry for roughly an hour
Rub!
1/2c brown sugar
pinch garlic powder
pinch minced onion
pinch rosemary
2 pinches of paprika
pinch of white pepper
small pinch of chipoltle
I know this picture doesnt show...
Placement only matters where temperatures differ. I like to do chicken parts where the bbq temp is around 300-330.
The skin gets a golden brown and slightly crispy.
ive done chickens at 225 and had some of the juiciest chicken ive ever had, but the skin wasnt crispy.
Pork chops!
Oh yeah, ill try that for sure!
My brine ended up being
1l buttermilk
1/4c kosher salt
1/4c brown sugar
2 green onions chopped
With a coffee grinder I mixed
1 sprig of rosemary
A pinch of dill..yes, dill
minched onion
garlic powder
Then gently heated all together while stirring...
