I actually did some smoked chicken!! If you read my post the other day after Sparky made some triple threat barnyard critters, I haven't done smoked chicken in fucking ages...since before I even knew what I was doing.
I busted out the mini Kettle for this to keep it nice and cozy. I only had a little bit of lump, so I added a handful of assorted hardwood chunks. I basically smoked it indirect for about 1.5 hours and finished it on the gas for maybe 20-25m. I made a sauce of some melted butter, vinegar, garlic, and a little bit of rub and painted that on 3 times.
1st pic is indirect on the mini, 2nd is after the charcoal, and 3rd is after the gas when it's resting on the counter. I let it rest in the open air so the skin would stay nice and crispy. It did. Clean bones, crispy skin, moist as fuck, no weirdos, and the perfect amount of smoke.
1st local corn of the year. One was an easy 11/10 the other was a 7/10. I ate the good one first and was a little disappointed with the other. Served with some Knorr Cheddar-Brocoli pasta. Try the Knorr Pesto variety if you see it, it's brilliantly done and has a great classic basil pesto flavor with spiral pasta. It's only been out for a year. It's in a green packet and there is a recipe on the back for Shrimp Primavera...switch the water/milk ratio from 75/25 to 60/40 and cover it for the last 4 or 5 mins for best results.
Smoke?
