It's that time of year again - the Hatch Green Chili harvest. My local grocer was roasting them Saturday. Bought half a case of mild and half a case of hot. Picked up 5 lbs of 80/20 GB to make Greg's sticks. Since I had the fresh roasted chilis, I thought why not. Cut back a tad on some of the other spices to make sure they were not to HOT. I sampled the hot chili and it will put a zing on your for sure.

One bag of each. I have two bags of each.

The spices called for and the chilis. Mild on left, hot on right.

Chilis all chopped up. Man they smell good.

Everything all mixed up.

I used my jerky gun and not the stuffer with casings. Did not get a pic before they went in. Did 2 hrs of Pecan at 150* then up to 170* until they were done.

Closer look. They are mighty good. The chilis add a nice spice that lingers after you finish the stick.
Yumm and zing.
Bet those would be good with a cold beer.
Stick in left hand cold beer in right hand! YUM!

Exactly what I am doing while watching the Rangers vs Angels
Those look delicious, have you or anyone else tried cutting up fresh Jalapenos and mixing them in the GB? I have a garden full and am thinking about it. Nice Job.

I love a stick that has zing.

I am sure Greg may have made that alteration but give it a try and let us know how it works
Hello All,
How can you tell when the sticks are done? I just got my jerky gun today and I'm chomping at the bit to try it out.
Thanks
Jamie
yep, diced fresh penos work well. i never had the chance to try a famous hatch chili but they sure look great. :)
Looks good! What a great idea!
