Cooked for a few days meals today. Well,smoked and cooked.
Emptying out the freezer of a couple of months storage of meats, to make room for fresher/newer . .
First I thawed out a pork roast. I wanted to make a pulled pork. Mind wanders as I have never done one before in the smoker, and well, take from the cook book of OF C and added .
Smoother in mustard, press in some smoked paprika,pepper and garlic and some chilie flakes mix, and throw in the smoker for 4 hours. 2 pans of apple chunks. Wrap after that in tin foil and on the bbq indirect heat for another 5 hours at 275 deg.
While that is all getting happy happy,
It was chicken breasts time for tonight's meal. Sliced and thrown in a marinade of sriracha,smoked paprika ,garlic,fresh squeezed lemon, salt and pepper and fresh Chalantro .
Marinaded for only a short time, as we all know,the lemon acid with cook the chicken and will dry out while cooking. The added bacon wrap helps to keep it moist if this should happen. skewered the chicken,wrap in bacon and on the grill. I had the outside burner going while the pork was on,then switched the middle one so I could indirect both the pork and the chicken wrapped skewers . Worked out well. Had it set at 3/4 on the dial and the heat stayed at 275 .
Everything came together at the same time which was amazing. Pulled the chicken wraps first and tented. Served with baked taters and a sour cream,garlic and chive mix that I made earlier in the morning . Some may call it tzatziki, I call it newfiedelis. Dinner prep went so fast,I forgot to take a pic.
Pulled the pork off after eating and let it rest. When I unfolded the tin foil,it was food goodness. Slayed out on the board to cool and started to shred it with 2 forks. It pulled, well, like pulled pork. Once done,added some Q sauce , let it cool and in the fridge for tomorrows dinner. Pulled pork on a bun with slaw topping and some sweet onion .
WORKS FOR ME.
