Nothing a small injection won't fix! Mixture of butter, olive oil, garlic and black pepper.

All rubbed up and ready to go!

Into to pre-heated smoker at 218 degrees for two hours of smoke, of course mesquite! ;D

Hellooo Baaby! After 5 hours in the smoker! Lookin good!

And 1 more hour in the oven, crisp the skin up and hit IT of 180

Side dish of bacon wrapped grilled asparagus - This is good stuff!

Dinner commenced, I forgot to take pictures of the aftermath...really wasan't that pretty just a bunch of bones! ;D Just thought I'd share!

Looks great! I am interested in the asparagus too. We usually get a ton of it and I'm always looking for something new to do with it.

Buck, You can always ship the asparagus over here. :P

Or send some my way...3.99 a lb. I don't buy it that often! :) The asapargus is very easy simply wrap 6 spears tightly with bacon, secure with toothpicks into the smoker for no more than 20 minutes worth of smoke and then onto the grill!

I take it you didn't find the mesquite too strong for your chicken?

westexasmoker · June 06, 2008, 04:34:06 PM

Mesquite to overpowering, don't be silly! ;D

That's like asking if Jack the Ripper found his work to be too messy :o ;D ;D

If it can be smoked, you can bet WTS has put mesquite on it. I'll even bet he goes so far as to cold-smoke his tennis shoes in mesquite just to have that mesquite aroma following him around all day ;) :D ;D
