Title: Drumsticks
Post by: Wing Commander on October 04, 2013, 09:22:47 AM
Today I cooked some drumsticks on the egg with cherry wood smoke at 300°F. Before putting 'em on the egg, I slathered the drumsticks with mayonnaise that was blended with Steak Savor and a homemade rub. After 50 minutes I put the drumsticks on the gasser at 380°F to crisp up the skin for some minutes, then plated them with Mediterranean pasta salad.

I love that light golden color that you have achieved. It really looks like that you cook a nice moist product without it looking overdone on the outside saving those spices that you have added.

Nice job!

Looking good Wing. Was the cherry too much? Me and cherry and chicken have been known to have issues

The skin looks really tender and the chicken looks super juicy. I believe I could eat a couple of those legs and be very happy.

BTW - Nice smoke ring too. :)

The salad was cold.

No, that wasn't too much at all. I used just a liitle chunk with very clean blue smoke - can't go wrong with that. ;)

I am always looking for good (cold) pasta salad ideas.  It is probably my favorite thing to serve with brisket.  It cuts through the richness of the meat and creates great textural and temperature variety.  Care to share the recipe?

That's very easy: cook pasta and let them chill. Then add dried tomatoes (those canned in oil), some arugula, fresh basil leaves and some green onions. Season with salt, pepper, EVOO and balsamico vinegar. Can't tell you any amounts and quantities, 'cause I usually go by taste.

That'll work.
