My son was sick today so I had to stay home with him. I decided since I didn’t get a chance to smoke anything over the weekend, that I’d give some wings a try on the WSM I’ve been learning over the last couple months.
As this was last minute, I decided to just work with what I had as far as...
Ive had a whole chicken in the smoker now for about 5 hours. 6.2 lb bird. Smoker at 225°. Chicken hasnt budged from 143° in over an hour. I did brine it over night last night. Is the extra moisture causing a "stall" of some kind?
I know chicken isn't supposed to do that as it doesnt have much...
I started thawing 4 chickens a few days ago, figuring I'd have a plan by this weekend. Nope.
Thankfully, I got a few tips from Disco (Preacher Man, I'm making pulled chicken tacos your way next time around). I combined the glaze and dipping sauce from his Cambodia Chicken with his Piri Piri...
Albertson's had whole chickens on sale (I've grown to love shopping...for meat sales!). Bought two and decided to make pulled chicken tacos for the game this past weekend.
Started with the two chickens and brined them all morning long from about 7am til 3 pm.
Took them out of the brine and...
I really like Tandoori dishes when I go out for Indian food. The spices are delicious. I would like to get something similar at home. This introduces two problems.
First, I don’t have a tandoor. These wonderful ovens are highly specialized and I have been given clear instructions from a higher...
So i keep on this sous vide BS....LOL
I heard chicken is what you should try SV.
So here are some chickens
Pressure cooker pot ready for the bones.
Breasts with spices and herbs
Getting a chermoula sauce ready
Backyard parsley
Roasting cumin and coriander
Chicken Leg Quarters (Hickory Smoked)
I don’t usually do these, but Mrs Bear got ‘em on a good sale.
I still prefer individual Thighs & Drums with the Emphasis on Thighs, but these were pretty good joined at the knee.
I took these all to at least 165° IT, and Mrs Bear added some Spanish Rice to...
Wife and I split out for a concert in MS, went to the Pearl River Casino Resort to see Great White and Skid Row.
A night away from home without the kids, a night for dinner, a concert and hotel stay.
Now the great thing about this concert is that my wife is friends with Mitch Malloy, Great...
I smoked 2 half chickens in my Dyna-Glo smoker. I brined the meat overnight with an standard salt/sugar brine augmented with magic dust rub mix. The meat turned out fantastic! Smokey, juicy, and tender. Simply delicious. The skin, however, was another story. It was tasty but tough as shoe...
Two spatchcocked chickens - one seasoned with Lawry's Seasoning
And the other with Pork Barrel BBQ
And a shot of the juiciness!
First time doing a whole chicken, let alone a spatchcocked one. Smoked in the new smoker for 4 hours at 250°.
The new smoker:
Hey everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to this group.
I had a quick question for you Dallas/North Dallas area folks.
Where do you buy your brisket, ribs, chicken at?
I currently just go to Kroger/Walmart when there is a sale (just bought pork ribs for 1.67 per LB.) But I wanted to know...
Hey everyone,
I just got my first smoker as a housewarming gift. I have smoked chicken, ribs and sausage so far and it has been great!
I have done a lot of reading on this forum and have found a lot of useful tips and tricks.
Currently smoking a small 5lb. Brisket as we speak. Will post...
Alright fellas, my family wants to have a smoke-off this weekend! We have two teams. My dad, who is an amazing smoker, and my youngest brother with limited general cooking experience. Team two is my middle brother- who has experience smoking, but not as strong as dad, and me! I usually do the...
Well the wife went out to dinner with her sister last night. So I had another evening to experiment with the Vortex/Kettle combination. This time I was craving chicken for some odd reason. I've done cordon bleu on the Kettle before using indirect heat and the charcoal baskets, but I wanted...
As noted in my prior post, I had friends over and made two chickens. I experimented with one but the second bird was done with about as basic a smoke as you could with a rub and a sauce. For the rub, I used a Creole Spice Rub:
18 ml (1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon) paprika
10 ml (2 teaspoons)...
I had friends coming over and wanted to make a couple of chickens. As I was doing two, I felt like I could risk an experiment. I made some Alabama Q Sauce by mixing together the following:
250 ml (1 cup) mayonnaise
20 ml (4 tsp) apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
5 ml (1 tsp) Dijon...
Hello, I'm being asked to do a wedding this Fall for 200 people. They want me to do chicken thighs and macaroni and cheese. I don't have all the details but I'm assuming there is going to be other meat and sides offered. How much food should I plan for?
Hey guys,
I was planning on making Jeff's bacon wrapped chicken legs this weekend. The recipe doesn't say anything about brining, but in other places on the website he says to always brine chicken. Does this apply only to whole chickens and chicken quarters? Anyone made this before?
Thanks
Well the weather was beautiful down here in FL this weekend so yesterday I smoked a pork butt to eat on this week. I had already planned on smoking some ABT's and chicken wings during the race today, and then the idea hit to put some of the pulled pork from yesterday inside the turds (I usually...
Below is my first attempt at chicken lollipops after seeing a number of them on this site. I did these clear back in November but now I'm finally getting around to writing about them and sharing my experience with the site.
I did some research regarding the best way to clean up the chicken...
