Smoked Chicken

by

Tom smoked 2 chickens. They were good. It took 3 hours in the smoker and 1/2 hour resting time. He just used salt and pepper and sprayed it will vinegar water occasionally. The skin was rubbery but we probably could have put in under the broiler to crisp it.

Chicken leg with roasted potatoes and broccoli.

The crust is:

  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup or 1 stick really cold butter
  • 1/4 really cold water

Combine all ingredients except water. Pulse in a food processor until resembles corn meal. Add water and dump dough out onto a floured surface. Blend by hand until it is a ball and then roll out to size of your dish.

Set aside and use canned chicken or left over chicken (that’s what I used). Add any kind of veggies. Add 2 cans of cream of something soup, mix well until everything is coated and it is soupy.

I added 1 1/4 cup of vegetables. Place chicken and vegetables in baking dish and place crust on top.

Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Check on it and bake longer if crust is not golden.
