I'm doing a pork loin tonight, however one of my guests is allergic to pork so throwing in some chicken thighs too. Pork loin is typically about 2 hours at 240, I'm only doing 4 thighs so I figure it shouldn't throw that off too much. Will the chicken take about the same time or longer at that...
Smoking my first turkey this year. I'm going to do a simple dry brine (Judy Bird recipe) and then smoke it with apple and pecan wood. I just picked up an injector as well, was thinking a garlic butter type concoction. Any suggestions on a recipe for an injection marinade that would go well...
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to try my pecan/apple blend for this first one, hopefully comes out well. I personally like the heavier/spicy flavors, but my guests do not so I think this will provide something they will all like.
I never had the time as I was out of town too much on the weekends leading up to Thanksgiving and couldn't find a turkey at the store prior to then. I just have to get it right the first time :D
Thanks for all of that info! With a dry brine spatchcock turkey at 325 or so, any guess on how long I should allow for that? Aim for an IT of 160 or so?
Thanks,
Tim
I'm going to do a practice run turkey before Thanksgiving rolls around. My practice I'm going to go a bit smaller if I can find it, but game time will be about a 15lbs turkey. In the past before I had a smoker I've always done a dry brine and oven bag. While the skin never came out crisp, the...
I think they both came out ok. I put a little too much salt in my rub for the chicken, should have measured instead of eye balled. I also had a couple of pieces of boneless skinless breasts in there, those came out a bit tough, but I kind of figured they would.
Thanks! Should the chicken have a 30+ minute rest like with pork and beef? I'm guessing my pork loin will be about 2 hours on smoke to reach IT, at least that's what my last one took. At 250 is about 2 hours right for chicken or should I expect longer?
I'm smoking some chicken pieces and pork loin today. I'm comfortable with the pork loin, not sure on the chicken as it's my first time. I've got some thighs and legs with bone and skin, but the breasts are boneless skinless which worries me a bit. Was planning on aiming for 230-250 temp. I'm...
Thanks for the advice. I seasoned a couple of hours before putting it on. It took just under 2 hours on the smoker. Then a quick sear and rested in foil in the smoker for about 45 minutes. Everyone loved it, and I was happy with the result.
