Technically not smoked, but barbecued, this original recipe marinade of mine is healthy, flavorful, AND HOT! Use cherry or Pecan wood for best results. OWWWWWW! THAT'S GOOD!

Looks good, willing to share the recipe?

 

[maxxrocket]

Of course. Give me a day to post. I think it's a keeper. Thanks for asking.

This forum is a bit different than my cigardojo.com forum. ... Should I post it on this thread, or start a new one?

Post it here that way it will have the pics to compliment each other

Hades 6 Pepper Chicken/Pork Marinade

1/2 large white onion

3 large green chilies (Anaheim, Hatch, etc.)

3 -4 chipotles (canned in adobo)

4 jalapenos

12 cloves garlic (I use 4 cloves of elephant garlic)

2 Tbsp cracked black pepper

1 Tbsp cracked Szechuan peppercorns 

10 chile de arbols

handful of cilantro

salt to taste*

1/4 cup white vinegar

juice of 2 limes

juice of 2 lemons

1/8 cup balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup water

enough olive oil to make an emulsion (about 1\2 cup)

Directions:

Chop all of the larger veggies into thirds. Add everything EXCEPT the olive oil into a blender. Once everything is pureed (if it's too dry and won't process properly, you can add more water), start drizzling in the oil. Taste. *Remember, it should be slightly saltier than what you'd think. Marinade meat for about 8-24 hrs.

Enjoy!

Interesting use of the Szechuan Pepper. It numbs the mouth so you can eat more fiery food..." Ancient Chinese Secret! " The marinade sounds great to me but I am the only family member that can handle that heat level. Guess I will have to make a smaller batch and just marinate my pieces of bird. I am thinking I would replace the Balsamic, which I don't usually have, with 1/4C OJ to get something more like a Hell Fire Mojo Criollo...JJ

Yeah, I love mojo. I also like to use natural Apple cider that had turned hard.

Sounds good! How hot is the finished product after cooking

 

[maxxrocket]

Pretty hot. The Chipotle is a must, but to tone it down, omit the jalapeño and the peppercorns.
