Mark Connolly Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @Bairnardo Had some chicken thighs marinading, so I banged them in the smoker for 45mins with hickory chips. Excellent smoky flavour, and not as much excess smoke in the kitchen as I remembered. 8/10, would do again. That should me be down to about £5 per use of the smoker since purchase now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After smoking halloumi and veg on the bbq yesterday I am even more determined to get some kit for this. Genuinely think I am going to have to start selling food though. Between my learnings about bread, pasta, pizza, beer and potentially lots of smoked things I am either going to have to learn discipline or punt the excess -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filo is a next best to the spring roll sheets, it's fiddly to work with as you need to keep it damp but should work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally they both wanted chicken nuggets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has the burger, one has the fish, and you have the chicken nuggets to teach them a lesson. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mrs recommends dinners on the weekend and I sometimes agree to things I don’t really like and then remember how underwhelming they are when it comes close to dinner time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky chicken drumsticks/wings - mix ketchup, honey, salt, pepper in a bowl, smear it all over a bunch of drumsticks or whatever you have, wrap in foil, roast for 30 mins, unwrap foil, roast for another 10-15 mins. Greek chicken and potatoes - parboil some potatoes, slice them up and layer an oven dish. If your kids will tolerate, add herbs like oregano, slices of lemon and olives. If not salt & pepper only. Roast for 40 mins with a pile of chicken on top, works really well with thighs as the fat from the thighs goes into the potatoes underneath and cooks them. Ramen pots. Fry some pieces of chicken dipped in flour & leave to one side. Boil eggs (1/2 per person) for 7 minutes then set aside in a bowl of cold water. Add a chicken stock cube, dark soy, mirin, garlic, ginger (or some combination of these, it's not essential you do all of them: you could add miso instead of soy, or a glug of vinegar) & get it boiling again. Put in some noodles and some thinly sliced veg (carrots, courgettes through a peeler are good, pepper, spinach). Ladel some of the broth & noodles into a bowl & layer the top with the veg, chicken and a half egg. Add a bit of light soy, sliced spring onions etc on top. Did a non olive version of the chicken and potato and it went down well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure filo would be a good substitute, since it's rice flour in the spring roll sheets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
