Sweet & Spicy Mustard Chicken

with Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

This was a simple but very delicious way to cook the chicken.

Here goes...

Started by mixing some Yellow Mustard & Brown sugar together. Also made a spice rub mix of salt, granulated garlic, granulated onion & Chili powder.


The backbone from the spatchcock chicken was tossed it in a small pan of water with a little sea salt & herbs to make a quick chicken stock for some rice.

Slathered the chicken with the sweetened mustard...


Sprinkled the spice mixture all over...


Then onto the 325° grill with the Bacon Wrapped Asparagus. Cherry Pellets for smoke.




The chicken was pulled at 165° & the asparagus was brushed with some melted butter & Italian Dressing then pulled off.

The chicken had a beautiful amber/brown color and smelled wonderfully of mustard, chili powder & sweet smoke.




We used the chicken stock to make some Chicken & Herb flavored rice & served with the Chicken & Asparagus.


Thanks!

I agree, especially this time of year. A customer at the computer shop stopped by to ask me if I wanted some, of course I said, "Sure!" He cut that asparagus fresh from his garden and brought it to me the very next morning so it was super fresh and tender beyond belief. There was none left at the end of dinner!

Nothing like fresh asparagus, great cook Cliff!

Great lookin chicken Tent

Beautiful feast Cliff!!
