what to serve with smoked chicken?

opie's twisted balls · 11-06-2009, 11:59 AM

So I bought a new smoker (for the purists I'm sorry to say I went with propane....charcoal is a pain in the ass and too hard to control the temp in the winter) and am loving it! Have smoked a couple of brisket, ribs, a pork butt and all turned out great. I'm going to do a applewood smoked chicken this weekend and am stuck for what to pair it with.

Suggestions on a starch and some vegetable sides?

i don't have an actual recipe
but try smoking one sometime
with chinese spices
it is incredible

all i remember is that you
use star anise and ginger
but there were other things too

Angel hair pasta in a light garlic sauce. Or some nice Rice Pilaf

As for veggie maybe a zucchini or summer squash (I love summer squash)

Everyone needs an appetizer.

Have you ever had ABT's?

BBQ crack I tells ya

Here's the basics

I add diced onions and 3 cheese mexican mix shredded cheese to the cream cheese and use breakfast sausage rather than the lil smokies.

I"ll be making some pulled beef and these tomorrow.

Sweet potatoes and applesauce.

You're welcome.

Lightly buttered string beans with a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked black pepper.

The rice could work....was thinking couscous would be an option.

I've OD'd on zucchini lately so thats off. Stopped at safeway today and no summer squash but I do have an acorn squash that could be smoked.

They look very tasty but chili's are hard to come by in that quantity in these parts (not enough mexicans I guess).

How do you smoke your beef?

The garlic and horsey potatoes sounds good. I have some baby spuds that would be good with the skin left on and roughly smashed.

Beans could work with this.

You need to go grilled asparagus w/ splash of balsamic and shaved parm & cous cous with that chickie.

weekapaugjz · 11-06-2009, 11:16 PM

baked beans and cheesy potatoes.

That not so much. I like both your suggestions just a touch heavy for chicken.
