OT driving the furballs nuts
I am trying a new method to eat healthy.
I am doing what they call beer can chicken. I am smoking several whole chicken in the BBQ using an empty coke cans to stand the chicken up. It is on the back porch smoking since this morning. I am using some cedar and oak to smoke it. I have some dry herbs like rosemary inside the can on the grill to add to the flavor. The whole house smells great. Two neighbors have came over wanting to know when they could come to dinner. The cats are bouncing back and forth every time I go outside to check Making Fresh tortillas and going to cut up some fresh veggies from the Farmer's market If this turns out good I am going to try some other meat and freeze it. |

Try telling *him* his Brinkman smoker was a bad idea. Got plenty of good BBQ out of it, and smoked chicken, too. Jill |

The whole house smells great. Two neighbors have came over wanting to know when they could come to dinner. The cats are bouncing back and forth every time I go outside to check I'll bet they are! I can just see them waiting for you to drop the chickens Making Fresh tortillas and going to cut up some fresh veggies from the Farmer's market If this turns out good I am going to try some other meat and freeze it. I'm not sure cedar is a good choice for smoking, but then I'm only used to using cedar to keep moths out of things. You'll have to let me know how that turned out. Hickory chips and apple wood, absolutely. And you need to soak the chips in water. Next time you might try tucking fresh sprigs of rosemary under the chicken skin. Inside the can probably won't do a heck of a lot. Hope you didn't forget to brush the chickens with a neutral oil (any vegetable oil will do). The cooking shows that yell about olive oil all the time are often, IMHO, often drowning the taste of the food. Not everything needs "EVOO". Also, hope you added salt & pepper. Speaking of vegetables, there are a number of them that grill (not necessarily smoke) very well if you like to grill. I like to cut zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise, brush lightly with a little neutral oil and sprinkle with some dried herbs such as thyme, or marjoram or basil (those two herbs are interchangeable). Eggplant/aubergine slices are also wonderful grilled but I can't eat it because I have to avoid the hard seeds. Cabbage cut into quarters carmelizes nicely and comes out quite tasty. Of course you have to like cabbage first And grilled corn on the cob is fantastic! That you can also smoke with good results. Got to soak the corn for hours in water first. Unfortunately I can't eat corn anymore, either. (sigh) Jill |
