Title: Chicken legs with skin of a different animal ;)
Post by: muebe on April 28, 2012, 08:17:53 PM

Started with 16 chicken legs that I skinned  :o

Then a liberal coating of Instant Gourmet...

Then each leg got a replacement skin of bacon except for three that got a slice of honey ham instead (out of bacon)...

Fired up the Bradley. Loaded 3 apple pucks (1 hour of smoke) Set the PID for a cabinet temp of 200F and convection off the first hour. Then cabinet temp ramps up to 240F with convection fan on for another 1 1/2 hours (170F IT at largest leg with the fastest Thermapen available...green :) )...

After pulling from the smoker I gave them a 10 minute ride under the oven broiler to finish up the bacon...

Nice meat combo muebe! I have done chicken breasts with bacon - but the chicken legs look great!

Darn great Idea!!!  I bet the honey ham slices came out great as well!!!   Phil's Instant Gourmet Original has sure won a bunch of us over!!!

Gonna have to give that one a whirl Muebe..don't worry though...you will get all the credit and accolades at the dinner table  ::) ;D
