Drumstick Trio - 2 Stuffed, 1 Injected

[WALLE]

Got this idea from Gunslinger, so here goes.

Doing a three shot on this pack of drummies. Didn't have any box stuffing, so here's what I threw together:

Test batch 1
4 Pieces toasted bread
~1/2 cup chicken broth
finely chopped onion
finely chopped smoked gouda
finely chopped green chili







That was the EASY part... now off to de-boning the drummies... To be honest, this was more of a pain in the a$$ that I would have ever guessed... if these babies aren't over the top, lip smack'en good, this probably won't happen again in my casa..



Did 2/3rds of the pack for stuffing


Test Batch 2
One hunk smoked gouda
One hunk green chili
-per drummie



Batch #3 - Injected, rubbed buffalo drummies. I know these will be good.
Prepared like the chicken wings I've done, injeted with Franks, and rubbed with rib rub

Entire project


Got these chill'en in the fridge, will hit these this afternoon after I get some yard work done.

Thanks for checking out my post - and thanks for the good idea, Gunny.

Awesome Tracey!..... I wanna try this bad..... I can just see myself hacking a finger off with a clever though! .... Maybe I'll stuff some boneless thighs, at least I can buy them boneless

Yeah - no !@#!$
That exact thought (chopping off finger~arm) went throw my mind, but I ended up just setting the clever on them, then whacking it with my hand - went right through....then after about three, your second thought (boneless anything else) went through my mind. I think the boneless thighs would be the best way to go - still have the good juicy dark meat...not as many tendons...more time to drink beer!

I guess I should stop my whinning... this idea is AWESOME! that's why I'm doing it. I'm just usually pretty good with a knife, and this kicked my.....

Heh... nice work, Walle. Usually the effort put in is well worth it :{) Making noodles for a big batch of chicken paprikash sux. But...I still do it!

Glad you still have all your appendages attached

Looks great. Points for trying this. I am afraid it will chip my knife blade AND cut off my finger.
You can do yard work today? Didn't you get any of this snow? I got about 14 inches yesterday! I thought they said the Western Slope was going to get this stom too...no?

[Bassman]

Man, that does look good! I'll wait to give you points when I see them come out of the smoker! In fact, I'll see if Gunslinger will bone out a bunch of legs and send them up here.

Mo, what part of Colorado are you from? We just got some rain before you got snow.

People's Republic of Boulder.
Beautiful day today. But still tons of snow left.

[Slanted88]

You on it~! Needa see some of that done gig~!

[Whisky Fish]

Looks awesome man! yeah they are a bit of a pain, but well worth the effort.
I did about 10 of them as well and didn't get the hang of it until about #6. Then the last 4 or so went really quick.
That's cool we were on the same track and even better that you got the pics. for that alone.

[curious aardvark]

going to try this today - not worried about the cleaver, but had contemplated using a hack saw instead lol
we'll see.

kudos for carrying it through :-)

[WALLE]

Thanks everyone,

Mo - yeah it has been a little cool, but sun a shining over here in Eastern Utah.
Whisky Fish - thanks!

Here's the final out come
Sausage on the top, Wing sauce (L), Gouda/Green Chili(C), Stuffing (R)






And plated with some toasted cheesy sourdough.


Overall I like the Gouda/GC the best of the two stuffed ones.
Wing Sauced drummies were excellent.

Probably won't be doing this again... taste and looks were awesome, just too much work when you could get to the same place using boneless thighs.

thanks for checking out my post.

Those look good. You know I do them a lot and can de-bone about 2 per minute. Thighs take me a lot longer. The effort for me isn't really about taste with these, it's the novelty. I mean really, it's just a boneless leg. But I like to do them for guests.

[Bassman]

OK Tracey. That by Gawd looks good enough for . Wish I could get up enough ambition to do a smoke.

[Richtee]

It IS novel, and impressive! I mean how cool is just biting into a drumsick on end??

Thighs take longer? Wow... you must be like middle handed or something

[Zeeker]

Look's great Tracey. All the best...
