Call me crazy... I decided to smoke some Mies Breading

[SouthernSmoked]

Yes, Yes it's true and you can call me crazy... I decided to smoke some Mies Breading.

I will be using a few chicken wings for this test.



I got a 5lb bag of Mies in the other day. Thinking our of the box I decided to try and smoke some with Hickory flavor.



I used the cold smoke box for this test.



Using a coffee filter I added a cup of the Mies.



Placed the Mies inside my smoker and will smoke with Hickory for 1 hour.



Man the Hickory smell was very strong.



Did I mention the Smoked smell was very strong.



Next, once the smoke was completed, I placed filter and Mies inside a Rubbermaid storage container.



On the left I used the smoked Mies and on the right I used the Mies straight out of the bag.



I preheated the oven to 350F and baked for about 40 minutes.



Here is the finish product!

Results:

The Hickory smell was very strong during the baking process and I could taste a slight difference between the two.

Neat experiment!

Looks good man.  My only suggestion it make sure you mist the the chicken with water before you bake or grill.  It will almost look like a paste once it wet enough.

Was it enough of a difference that it was worth the effort?

What a cool idea!

[TestRocket]

Your appetizer looks good! So what else did cook to make a meal?  ;D

[ArnieM]

OK SS, you're crazy.  ;D

Why not just coat the wings, give 'em an hour or two of smoke and then finish on the grill or in the oven?

[classicrockgriller]

Crazy or not has yet to be determined. ;D

But the idea and experiment was great!

Thinking outside the padded cell, I like that! ;D

You're off to a good start, but CRAZY?
Ummm.. no.

Perhaps, after the holdays, I'll hold a class....  ;D

Great idea!   But one question, I can get my breading to brown up like that what am I doing wrong?

I wet the meat, coat with breading and sprits water on the breading so it didn't have dry spots.
I then toss them in the oven cooked at 400 for about 25 min's

Tommy, about the oven, I really don't know. My wings in the Big Easy have been crowd pleasers! If I was going to do in the oven I would add some corn starch and Panko Bread Crumbs, as both of these will give you a better crisp and browning.

Well SouthernSmoked has a good idea and since I'm cooking Red-Neck ham Saturday to really get the Bradley broke in I think I may toss some breading in as well.  Heck it looks great from here and might as well try it right?

next cook with Mies bread will be in TBE or SRG,

SouthernSmoked I give ya' a 10 on the idea!

Red-Neck ham?   Care to share?   

I've got an extra ham...   In a box.     :D

Red-Neck ham is a canned ham smoked for a few hrs to remove the fat, or as much as you want out.  Then after about 2 to 3 hrs you start to mop with Sun-Drop (think Mt-Dew), brown sugar and spices.  Now I won't try this in the SRG cause of the Sun-Drop and brown sugar.

After you get a really nice thick glaze you slice it thin for great sammies!

I'll post Saturday while I smoke mine

Hey Tommy, sounds pretty much what I did... but I cooked at 350 for 40 minutes.(not sure)

Did you allow the meat to rest a few minutes before inserting into the oven?
