Just when you thought we’d run out of ways to use bacon… We’re employing a brand new (to us) technique that might change all kinds of classic foods (like turning regular chicken wings into Bourbon Bacon Chicken Wings!). It’s bacon paste!
We have gotten a ton of requests to do either smoked chicken quarters or smoked bone-in chicken breast, so Chef Tom shows you how to break down a whole chicken and smoke up some great yardbird.
Chef Tom takes one of our favorite cooking techniques and adds a twist by swapping a foil wrapped brick for a Himalayan Salt Plate. He then places a charcoal basket in our Napoleon P500RSIB-1 and grills bone-in chicken halves indirect with a preheated salt plate on top.
Chef Tom uses our Napoleon Grills P500RSIB to its full potential. He fries chips on the infrared side burner, grills chicken over charcoal and cooks up veggies on a cast iron griddle.
Chef Tom creates a brilliant "one pot" Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken on the Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill. This chicken alfredo recipe is simple, and you can cook the entire meal in 30 minutes, so it is the perfect Italian recipe for a quick weeknight meal.
One of our favorite Mexican foods, cooked start to finish on the Grill! Our quesadillas feature caramelized onions, chile infused spatchcock pulled chicken, black beans, and creamy pepper jack cheese!
Chicken Parmesan is a lot of folks' favorite Italian dish. This recipe combines Chicken Parmesan with pizza (who doesn't love pizza?!) and transforms them into a party perfect pinwheel of finger food excellence!
You know them, you love them, and they are king of the game day spread. With the big game nearly upon us, it’s time to plan the party food menu, and we’d highly recommend you kick up the wing game another notch with these chile infused, sweet barbecue chicken wings.
Spatchcock chicken and Mexican food, two of our favorite foods, come together in this recipe for a sweet and savory twist on quesadillas. And, as always, it can be done start to finish on the grill!
If there is one thing as popular as smoked meats here at All Things Barbecue, it’s peppers. It’s not an accident that we stock the store with all kinds of chile-centric marinades, rubs, sauces, glazes, salsas and more. Our love for all things peppers is why we keep tinkering with jalapeño popper recipes. This time we’ve managed to jam more green chile into this green chile than ever before.
Chef Tom breaks down our method of preparing competition chicken thighs. This is the recipe we use in KCBS competitions and incorporates tips, techniques and methods we have learned from competition barbecue pitmasters like Andy Groneman of Smoke on Wheels Competition BBQ (Kansas City) and “BBQ Brian” Misko of House of Q (British Columbia, Canada).
The name says it all! Well, almost. The name doesn’t mention how incredibly easy these are to prepare. It doesn’t matter if you’re tailgating or throwing a holiday party, this appetizer is perfect for the occasion.
If you like spicy and you like fried chicken, then Nashville Hot Chicken should be right up your alley. Despite its popularity in the Music City, there is much left to the imagination when it comes to creating it yourself. There doesn’t seem to be a hot chicken joint in town that’s willing to part with its recipes or signature techniques. Lucky for you guys, we’re not in the habit of keeping secrets. After some research and tweaking, we’ve come up with a recipe and technique adapted to the grill that, at the very least, is likely going to make you sweat.
Here at All Things BBQ, we’re constantly interacting with folks who are passionate about grilling, smoking and cooking in general, and folks who are hungry for knowledge and looking to improve their craft. If you’re reading this, there is a good chance that you are one of these folks. You’re awesome. One of the questions we get a lot is, “What is the best way to cook a whole bird?” Whether it’s chicken or turkey our answer is always the same. Spatchcock. If you’re tired of drying out the breasts while waiting for the thighs and legs to finish cooking, it’s time to employ the spatchcock technique.
Friends don’t let friends fry wings. Spread the word, wings belong on the grill. The texture is fantastic, and the flavor is in a whole other league. This concept is simple, really, but doing it right will make all the difference. The breakdown goes like this: brine, rub, grill, sauce. Brining adds flavor and will help you retain moisture.
