Old Smokey Thighs and Sausage
« Reply #-1 on: July 26, 2014, 06:30:19 PM »
5 boneless skinless chicken thighs that I marinated for a couple of hours in buttermilk. I then used
the food processor to crumble some French fried onion rings. Thanks Pappy for the suggestion from
the last time I did these. Along with the chicken I cut up a package of Conecuh sausage.  I seasoned
the onion rings with Mo Rockin.


All put onto the Old Smokey, using ¾ chimney of KBB and a small chunk of hickory.


Chicken and sausages are done!


Plated with some boxed cheesy scalloped potatoes.


Delicious meal! Some of the best Conecuh I have done. Crunchy on the outside, melt in your mouth
on the inside. I believe I am going to like cooking on this cooker. I need to work on using a little less
charcoal for shorter cooks. I am thinking about ribs tomorrow and using a snake for the charcoal or
one of my charcoal baskets.  One other VERY important thing I learned was don’t hold the lid when
turning the chicken and let it hit your leg, especially if you are wearing shorts. Ouch! ???  I guess I am
used to the Performer and having a place to hang the lid. I did order the bracket for the lid so maybe
this will help.

Mike,
That whole meal looks great.  I am going to have to try the chicken thighs with the French fried onion rings.  I always love that sausage.  If I didn't make my own sausage from time to time, that would be the one I would always have in the freezer.

great looking first cook on the Old Smokey.

When you get the lid hanger, find yourself a hunk of metal or something to place under the charcoal grate on the opposite side of the lid hanger so you don'e get a possible tip over..............

I gotta try that chicken. I have about a 3 lb bag of the French fried onions from Costco to use up.

Mike, you've all ready got that Old Smokey tuned up and singing the high notes. Everything you cooked looks delicious. The Old Smokey is such a simple and beautiful cooker and it turns out amazing food.

Great looking plates.  I'm going to have to try the trick with the onion rings, I'll bet that add a lot of flavor. 

I see that the sausage is available at the Cherry Point Marine Base.  Fortunately, my Brother-in-Law is a retired Gunny in New Bern ! !
