Weber Smokey Joe Grilled Fillets ~THEN~ Smoked Bacon Wrapped Mad Hunky Chicken Spears

[Fishawn]

~SMOKEY JOE~ ..... 14" of Grilling & Smoking power, both direct grilling & indirect (with smoke also).....

Tonights adventure featured a couple of Tenderloin Filets for the wife & I (I get the other for Hash tommorow). The were grilled directly over the HOT Coal area for about 12 minutes total.... She likes em done, so I do what I am told, WHEN COOKING FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... ...... A well done Filet (170*) believe it or not, still beats 99% of the other Beef cuts IMO....

She's on a diet, so tonight she gets grilled Filet with EVOO, Kosher Salt & CBP. Not too bad a diet..... Along with a BIG English Cucumber peeled & sliced..... OK.... She's taken care of, time to mess around & have some fun!

Open up the Smokey Joe 5 minutes & get her hot again...... The Bacon wrapped Hunky Spears are: Chicken Breasts, that after removing the "heal" are cut into 2 large pieces (1 longer & 1 shorter), seasoned with Mad Hunky, wrapped in Bacon & grill/smoked indirect with Hickory chunks until close to finish (About 1 hour total with smoke), then moved directly over the Hot coals to crisp up the Bacon & finish...... These were served Appetizer style, cut into medallions/chunks and served with an Asian influenced dipping sauce..... Oh Yeah.....

Mad Hunky & Gang.....


Prepped & Ready for Grill .....


Filets, about to be flipped.....


Diet Dinner... ?????... OK, Uh.... Filet cut & English Cucumbers sliced.....


Mad Hunky Bacon wrapped Chicken Spears, at the star of their journey, indirect & pretty HOT.....


Smoke & Heat..... Smokey Joe acting (somewhat) like a 22.5" WSM with Hickory Chunks rolling......


This is what I am/was shooting for......


Sliced, Sauced & Ready for serving.......

Sigh... yer a good man- ruining a filet just as she like it...

Ah well. Chicken looks dang good. I'm gonna do some of those for tonight's pre-wedding dinner. Niece on the wife's side's getting hitched this weekend. Dinner for 8 or 11?? tonight. Got 4 slabs and some breasts to grill. Thanks for the app idea

[curious aardvark]

You peeled the cucumber - ya wimp !

We grow burpless with the spiky skins and I eat them straight off the plant while walking round the garden, skins and all lol

Other than that - great looking food - as always :-)

so any idea what was in the sauce ? (unless I write it down I generally have no clue the next day)

[Bassman]

Looking good once again, Scott. I could go on that diet for maybe a day or two.

[Whisky Fish]

Love my Smokey Joe too Scott, Nice grill marks on those steaks. And hell who cares, she likes it well, she gets it well. Great stuff as always Bro

[Uncle-Honky]

Kick some Smokey Joe butt homechicken!! Everything is looking right on Scott. Am I supposed to be this damn hungry this early in the morning? I could chew on my work boot and pretend it is that super done fillet
If ya slid a piece of that fillet between 2 pieces of cuke, you could pretend the juices running out were from the meat, when you bit into it
Naw... to each their own, just giving ya a ration bud

I did peel it..... I was given orders from the top to do so ..... The sauce was Mayo based mixed about 50/50 with a Gyoza dipping sauce, some Soy, hot & sweeet mustard & a lil Jalapeno Tabasco

I must say JT, since getting the SUPER FAST Lime Green Thermopen, I bet the me part of cooking her steaks has come down 10* ...... I had to show her on my Weber gasser on the chart that Weber says well done is 170*..... Now I cook them to 165* and rest them tented & they hit about 170*..... She likes them better cooked less... WELL DUH!......... GOD I HATE THIS COLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh- glad ya both enjoyed them. Remember the Mad Hunky rub was "kicked up" a bit with some added coffee-milled dried Jap pepper...

"How'd" that work out Rich?..... I have some of Bassman's Jalapeno Salt I could mix in with the Hunky for a little kick.

Very nice! Hmm careful with the salt tho...MH alone seemed to have enough. But the Jap flavor came thru just a bit for another layer that really worked well!
