That's out of the box thinking right there. I know I would love it...my wife not so much. Shes not a poultry skin person, while I wont let it go to waste and will fry it or oven roast it with Cajun seasoning and gobble it down!

Thanks Ken for the like and the comment

I hear you on the skin, it was already smoked on the spinner , and only on the top ( bottom ) depending on where we are talking in the recipe in the pan. But then fried in the bacon fat and crispy again . was very nice.

You Cajun oven roasted skin sounds really good also.

Now thats my kinda sami! man that looks great!

Thanks Dave , we are big stuffing and bird sandwiches.
Whenever we have a turkey dinner we always do up a big tray of stuffing separate , and most times look more forward to the sandwiches then we do the main meal, sometimes.

Unique take on that combo of ingredients! I know I'd love it as I think stuffing is the best!

Thanks Jeff for the like and the comment

That is me , adding things together and see how they turn out. This one worked very goodly , ha ha .

You are like us. stuffing could be a main course . And thats why we make lots of it on big turkey meals

This was a very nice meal.

All in One - Cubed Chicken Dinner from a Spun Brined Bird

Brined a chicken for couple days, dried him off and let dry in the fridge for a day.
Oiled him up and coated with paprika, brown sugar and summer savory. On the spinner with big Cherry ChunksView attachment 714378

Using my Inkbird wireless probe INT-11P-B, love everything about this . Easy to use and great connection

Brought it up to 166 It

Now here is I went off the rails and kind of winged it

Save the skin in as big of pieces as I could, and pulled the bird to pieces.
The brine and the smoke did the bird justice.
Made our normal potato and bread stuffing.

Layered the skin down into a casserole dish, cooked and spiced side down , so it would be the top later.
Loosely mixed the chicken pieces and the potato stuffing together with 3 beaten eggs ( $1.08 up here for 3 )
Layer the skin , fill the dish with the stuffing and chicken mix.
Cover with parchment paper another dish and some heavy weight. ( ceramic stones covered in foil )
Cook in the oven until ready, because of the eggs. You could have just put in the fridge under pressure if no eggs.
But I wanted it to hold better for frying later.

Out of the oven and let rest for about half hour,

Cut into serving sizes, fry in bacon fat to crisp up the top ( skin ) and bottom and warm the whole thing up for supper.
