Apple Juice Injected Teriyaki Pork Loin Chops
Marinaded Chicken Thighs Italiano
Marinaded fresh Foster Farms Chicken Thighs with Fat Free Italian Salad Dressing for 2 hours. Gotta watch my figure!! Seasoned the Chicken Thighs with Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Preheated the MAK 2 Star Wood Pellet BBQ Smoker-Grill to 325ºF using Hickory wood BBQ pellets.
Hickory Smoked Half Chickens & Roasted Potatoes
Have you seen the price difference between a whole Chicken and a Chicken cut in half at your local grocery store? I noticed yesterday that there was a 20¢ difference … Outrageous … How hard is it to cut a Chicken in Half? Not very! Saved me almost a $1 on this 4.6lb Foster Farms Fresh Chicken. Removed the backbone with Poultry Sheers and voilá – you have two Chicken Halves. Took less than 2 minutes. Saved the Chicken Liver and Heart to sauté for a snack.
Brine-Cured Smoked Pork Loin Chops
These days Pork is reared to be so lean that flavor brining is a great way to improve the flavor, texture, and moisture content. This can be achieved by curing the meat in a moderately salty solution for a few hours to a few days. This recipe is fantastic and really makes meat juicy and subtly-spiced/flavored. It acts as a marinade and a cure at the same time, producing Pork Chops a bit like a mild ham.
Brine:
- 2 Cups of Water
- ½ Cup Morton Tender Quick
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
Cherry Smoked Chicken Leg Quarters
Nothing like having your neighbor bring home fresh Foster Farms Chicken Leg Quarters from the plant and sharing!! Decided to do them proud by using the MAK 2 Star General Wood Pellet Smoker-Grill with Cherry wood BBQ pellets.
