Hickory Smoked Chicken

Galtizz

Somewhere on Old style is a link to an American site which shows you the recipes to lots of American 'secret' recipes. There should be a recipe on there for hickory chicken. I've tried searching but I can't find it.

The brand I have used and seen most often is "La Chinata" (Google it for a pic of a tin).

I found a three pack on sale at Amazon of all places.

3 x 2.5 oz tins... one each of sweet, bitter sweet, and hot $12.95 (ish)

to smoke something i saw a programme that put tin foil on the bottom of a really hot frying pan, then a mixture of rice, tea and sugar on top of the foil.

Put some more foil on top of that and then some oil on the top foil with whatever you want to smoke with the lid on and leave it for about 20 mins.

I've seen something similar, using a wok, with the grill that sits inside it.

I would definitely try to get hold of some wood shavings though (they must be a hardwood, I can't recall why) rather than that particular combination!

I'm fairly sure the instructions suggested moving the pan and all outside after you've started off the smoking so when you remove the lid the building doesn't get evacuated :eek: :rotfl:

Definitely worth experimenting with but trying it on your children probably best to go with the smoked paprika for now!

That was James Martin who did that in his Deli series :dance:


If you want to go the "shop bought sauce" route then I can recommend Ainsley Harriot's Smoky Barbecue Sauce/Marinade ... it's absolutely delicious

Thanks CQ i'll give that a bash.

I've just found a recipe for BBQ sauce

225ml tomato ketchup
100ml cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 bay leaves
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons onion -- chopped
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 dash black pepper

Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer about
15 minutes. Remove from heat and strain.

Note! The celery pieces that are strained out are excellent
eating.


i suppose you could make a big batch up and freeze it

Trust you to remember that. Alan Coxon also told us how to smoke food, but haven't looked that up yet. Another yummy smoked ingredient which is very useful is smoked garlic. I've only seen it for sale either online or at one of the continental markets that tour round the place - 15 cloves for £7. I've been thinking this week about smoking my own - so this thread is very well timed.

Garlic makes a roast chicken taste lovely - shove a cut bulb up it's bum, instead of a lemon Rub the skin with another cut bulb, then leave this bulb on the outside to flavour whilst cooking. Only done this in the oven, but I'll bet it's truly scrummy in the slowcooker.

Have you not read my Whole Chicken slow-cooker recipe
