Hi All,
Long time member, infrequent poster...
Recently bought a new RT-700 as I was growing tired of babysitting my propane garage-sale smoker. Decided to document today's cook.
Started out by skinning some chicken legs. Seasoned with SPOG:
Wrapped in thinly-sliced bacon and secured with a toothpick:
Stayed out on the boat too long so it was on to the RT-700 with a little less time than expected. Set at 300*.
1 hour in. So far so good...
2 hours in. Almost there...
On a whim, decided to finish with a trio of commercial sauces:
Time to eat!
On the plate (with obligatory bleu cheese dressing on the side).
Wife: "What do you want with these things?"
Me: "Doesn't matter. No one remembers the side dishes anyway."
Wife: [eye roll] "Fine. Caesar Salad it is."
Me: "Sounds good to me..."
Final Verdict: Very good. A bit biased as I would eat almost anything with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. Bacon was perfect. I was surprised it didn't unravel with each bite but held on as if it were the original skin. Family liked it. Will definitely do these again.
Best,
