My contribution to this year's Mother's Day celebration at my Son's house was the Chicken, and Appetizers. Picked up 4 nice Chickens at Costco. Each were about 6-lbs and I figured that would handle about a dozen people. I also decided to do some Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABTs) and MOINK Balls since I've never done either.
Chose to spike up the cream cheese with some grated cheddar cheese and Soileau's Cajun Seasoning. For good measure, I threw in a Lit'l Smokie in each ABT before wrapping it up with a half of slice of bacon. The MOINK Balls were Costo Meat Balls wrapped with a half slice of bacon.
Spatchcocked the Chickens and rubbed them with some Annie's Roasted Garlic EVOO and Fagundes Seasoning under and on the skin. Notice the nice plate of Chicken Livers and Hearts waiting for the sauté pan. Yum ... made for a nice snack!!
Pre-heated to 350º, turned it down to SMOKE and threw the spatchcock chickens in for an hour of Apple smoke.
After an hour of Apple smoke, bumped the Setpoint to 300º and threw in the MOINK Balls and ABTs.
Pulled the MOINK Balls and ABTs after about an hour and a half.
Pulled the chickens when the IT hit 165º in the thickest part of the breast. Took the chicken about 2 hours and 45 minutes total.
The money $shot ... Fall off the bone Apple Smoked Spatchcock Chickens along with some MOINK Balls and Atomic Buffalo Turds for Appetizers. A great time was had by all and best of all the Moms didn't do a thing except relax, enjoy, and be waited on ...
