A few weeks back I had asked a question about frozen vs. fresh chicken quarters. A local grocery had 'em on sale for .39/lb. I picked up a ten lb bag cuz the price was right. RowdyRay said he thought that I would find some "rejects" in the bag(broken bones, ribs, feathers)....he was right. No biggie tho. It was still chicken.
Called the wife from work yesterday and had her take 'em out of the freezer.
We whipped up a quick batch of brine with your basic 1 gal water, 1 cup salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar. I added a few other ingreeds like molasses, garlic, onion power, pepper. Here they are in the brine...
Today I pulled them from the brine and rinsed and dried them off. Dashed a bit of salt, pepper and garlic on them and headed to the GOSM...
A shot of the sweet, thin blue....
A pic of them sitting in the thin blue getting happy in the apple smoke sauna just after a "spritz" (sorry Rich) of garlic butter....
And the final plated pic...Smoked chicken quarter, with fresh from the garden garlicy salt potatos and yellow beans. Thanks for checkin this out, I'm going to bed!
