Chicken Breast Canadian Bacon

[meateater]

Here's some chicken breast canadian bacon I just did. I used Hi-Mountain BBB cure for 5 days, soaked, fry

test and then flavored them up overnight before smoking. I soaked two in hot chili oil, two in a rub I got from

BMUDD, one in garlic and onion powder, one in honey,cumin, and beer. I smoked them in the drum with

apple, cherry and maple chips at 120* for a few hours then cranke it up to finish them at 160* before I pulled

them. I figured that so I have ready made sammy meat for lunch. Out of all I liked the rub from BMUDD the

best ( Thanks Brian). The honey,cumin and beer ones shocked me, they were awesome also. Bearcarver,

thanks for the idea.

Looks great, how was the one with the Chili Oil?

Paul, it wasn't what I expected. The oil on rice or veggies makes it good and hot, with the cured chicken I could only taste a hint. I'm thinking since it was cured that was the reason for not taking on the flavor because it was oil based. Next time I'll just use a chili powder rub.  Ya never know till you try.

Man that all looks so good - you got me going now - We are not going to have much time for a while as we start the 4H kids in a couple of weeks but this is on my list for sure

Thanks for a great post

No, I smoked till 160* so I can just grab from the fridge and make sammies or just eat cold like pizza. It's awesome cold, although I was thinking a hot sub with onions and peppers and mozz cheese would put me down for a nap.

Good deal on the 4h kids program, keep them busy so they dont get in trouble. Just be sure to give them equal time on the smoker.

I missed this completely until I was tipped off.

So many sneak by me on this new platform. Of course I'm a few months older now too.

Great stuff!
