TARGET INTERNAL TEMPERATURE FOR CHICKEN* This one took a while for me to adjust to, but now, it's like I've been blind and now can see. We've been taught to cook chicken to 165F, right? This blanket, highly generalized recommendation is so deceitful. Yes, your chicken will be safe to eat. But...

Wild looking grub for Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzUXPcd3zHY It was fun making it that's for sure.

Friday we had some friends over for dinner. Started out prepping by cutting 1.5 lbs. of Brussel Sprouts up and seasoned them with some Garlic infused OO, some Denali Hot Thyme seasoning and some fresh ground salt and black pepper. Next up was making up a picture of margaritas. Ingredients: 2...

Decided to make Chicken Enchiladas for Memorial Day. (One of my wife’s favorites) Started out making up the Verde sauce. Roasted most everything. (Corn in the back) Tomatillos and onions go straight into the blender. Skinned and seeded the peppers and everyone into the pool for a spin. Add...

I wanted to try this dry-brining idea on a whole chicken and it came out great. After Dry-Brining for approx 30 hours I put this little guy on my ECB (aka Franken-Smoker). The result was delicious. My wife took one taste and shouted "Its so juicy!" So I'm a serious dry-brine fan...

I have a couple family members that don't eat red meat and I always cook a split chicken on the Pitt Barrel just for them ... I will say it turns out AMAZING every time, but I would really like some verity if anyone has suggestions of something that's turned out mouth wateringly delicious...

I’ve been away on vacation for the last week visiting relatives up in Reno. While we were there, I made one of our favorite quick and easy dinners by grilling up some of this Chile Lime Chicken Breast we buy at Costco. Now that we’re back, I wanted to make another of our favorites. Anybody...

You all probably know that there is / was a Chicken Breast Throwdown going on. I didn’t happen to enter this throwdown but being on the WW program I’m cooking chicken breast quite often. I decided to share a few of them here. The first is Chili Lime Chicken Breast which I pick up at Costco...

I'm looking for a little feedback on people's ideas on chicken thighs. Not looking for specific recipes or brands but I'm wondering if people lean a little on the spicy side when competing or is sweet the way to go. Do you inject?

I made another batch of chicken fajitas yesterday. Wasn’t intending to post it so only took picture with my phone and didn’t really take a lot of care in how my picture would look. Now I decide to post it and here are the pictures I did take. First off, this a repeat of my cook from last month...

On my last shopping day the market had fryers on sale so I bought a 6# one to do a wet cure and double smoke. I did my standard front and back half butchering and brined both halves in a gallon of curing brine for 24 hours. Basic mix of salt, sugar, black pepper and Cure#1. After curing I...

With the wife and I on the Weight Watchers plan, I’ve been avoiding some of my favorite Mexican dishes. Now that I think about it, this really isn’t necessary if I’m carefully what I choose and how I prepare the dishes. Take fajitas for example. A protein, seasoning and some veggies. Made with...

Howdy Y'all, I'm an amateur pitmaster still learning the ropes and in the process of opening a new BBQ restaurant in a few weeks. I got my start smoking on a reverse flow offset stick burner and had success with my product, but my new smoker is this Southern Pride cabinet smoker and its giving...
