Chix Thighs W/QVIEW

[ronp]

I have done these before, but we have many newbies here daily that may not read old threads.

So, here is the start.



I dry cured them today at noon with Morton's Tender Quick, man I love that added flavor. At 6 I rinsed them and learned an easier way to to the rub. I loaded them on a cold rack with newspaper under it to catch the mess, then rubbed with pancake syrup, I ran out if Maple syrup, and lemon pepper and garlic powder. It was easy and just carried the rack outside and put in the smoker. Threw the newspaper away and that was it for clean up.

I'l be doing them at 250' with Hickory, chunks , and probably toss on the Weber to crisp up the skin.

I am smoking a 7 # butt also that I will post in the pork forum.

As always, thanks for watching.

Rubbing chix thighs with Mrs Butterworths? I've tried honey before but thats a new one on me. I'll definitely have to try it.

This all sounds good until the rooster and Mr. Butterworths find out this happened.....

Thighs searing.



They were great the skin tasted like bacon.

Same here thanks for the tip I am going to give it a try

It is good, if you just want to try it on a fatty that will give you a clue whether you like it or not, that's how I first tried it, on my pancake stuffed one.

i always use maple syrup on my ribs....guess i got a sweet tooth eh?

**REAL MAPLE SYRUP** lol

 

[ronp]

I ran out of the real thing, this is the next best thing and cheap.

 

[twistertail]

how long did it take to do those thighs?

 

[ronp]

I'm guessing about 3 hours. I also did a sear at the end to crisp the skin.

Good luck with yours.

 

[twistertail]

Good guess, mine took almost exactly 3hrs!

Thanks for all the tips.

 

[ronp]

I got lucky I guess.

 

[twistertail]

I heard once that its good to be smart, but sometimes better to be lucky, but if you can be lucky and smart you've got it made.
