Surely you kindred spirits get this from folks that don't understand us pit heads
. Cappy, its just the 2 of you what da f.... ya cooking so much chicken for???? Folks just don't get it. Why do a whole 12 lb butte or big ole brisket for just yall. Well I guess the answer is...... Cause its fun!!!!!!
We did like 8 lbs of chicken thighs.
How do ya justify something like this?? Well my answer is I have learned over the years to be the master of left over BBQ. I mean lets face it I aint got a restaurant or BBQ stand and other things are harder to use. Its seldom that I can scare up enough folks to justify a pit full but I love doing it. So I have created a number of dishes that use leftover q, to justify what I love doing filling up the pit smoking up the neighborhood, and having a ball. The sad thing is most of the folks questioning me do it with one of my ribs in their hand.
Any ways I digress, what do yall do with your left over BBQ?? How do you justify your pit passion??
Here is one of my favorite left over chicken things chicken and black eye peas.
Good cooks don't hafta measure. what I did was place a few pieces of left over chicken in the bottom of the pot that was on the stove. I coulda used a smaller pot but I had recently cleaned this pot and set it on the stove to dry and it was handy. I wacked up an onion a piece of sausage, and added a spoon full of my Cajun spice. Covered it with water and set it to simmering. A trick my Mama taught me is when cooking dry beans ya only add the water a lil at a time as needed. So that's what I'm doing. its a great way to spend a Sunday watching movies with a pot of beans on the stove. Its also a great way to continues enjoying the fruits of my rusty ole pit:
