Recipe #11: Alabama Smoked Chicken Sandwich
/Fri, July 5th 2013 - Oak woodchips
Mistakes
Don’t pound partially frozen meat! It just separates the thawed portions from the frozen
I thawed the chicken in the fridge for nearly a day and a half and the middle was still frozen!
Result
The white sauce is pretty good and easy to make
Rub was a bit spicey in places
Tips for next time
Grill marks. Of course, the first side to hit the grate gets some serious grill marks
If I turn it, maybe 5-10 minutes after putting it on the grates, I might get amazing results
Consider less rub. This time kailah did it and I let her spoon the spices on the raw chicken that I then rubbed in.
Might be better to do it myself, by hand.
The rub wasn’t overwhelming. I think I definitely still want to rub both sides. Just a tiny bit less
Take pictures of all phases!
Would be nice to see what the rub looked like so when I say “use a little less” I can refer directly to the pics
Keep a notebook nearby
I feel like I may remember to write stuff later but I don’t
This time I forced myself to stop mid-cook and take notes
Would be better to just have something handy
- Also, last time I didn’t take notes at all!
