Title: Chicken legs with skin of a different animal ;)
Post by: muebe on April 28, 2012, 05:16:46 PM
Started with 16 chicken legs that I skinned  :o

Then a liberal coating of Instant Gourmet...

Then each leg got a replacement skin of bacon except for three that got a slice of honey ham instead (out of bacon)...

Fired up the Bradley. Loaded 3 apple pucks (1 hour of smoke) Set the PID for a cabinet temp of 200F and convection off the first hour. Then cabinet temp ramps up to 240F with convection fan on for another 1 1/2 hours (170F IT at largest leg with the fastest Thermapen available...green :) )...

After pulling from the smoker I gave them a 10 minute ride under the oven broiler to finish up the bacon...

Hey no surprise its bacon! And I love bacon and chicken together. But never thought of using it this way. Will be stealing the idea!

Dam, i have to do some of those again. Those look killer Mike. Have you tried smoking them in your SRG with the smoke daddy attachment you got on it?

Mike I have a Big Easy so it does not go low on temp. I have done them before but they get done faster than the amount of time I want to smoke. Doing them this way in the Bradley they were so dang good! Very moist and tender. Even the ones that were layered with ham ;)
