With dove hunting season now in full swing, we’re answering the call we’ve heard from so many of you for our take on this popular game bird. There are plenty ways you can go when preparing dove, and we could probably spend a week never repeating a recipe and never being disappointed, but today we share with you our favorite. The tried and true bacon wrapped dove breasts.
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!
What do you do with all that leftover pork shoulder from last weekend? You could make tacos or a pizza… again. Or, you could make this killer Pulled Pork Cornbread Waffle Sandwich with Caramelized Onion & Apple Chutney.
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.
Todd Johns of Plowboys BBQ (Kansas City) cooks up an amazing pork wellington recipe. This simple recipe is delicious and quick enough to cook for a week night meal.
Chef Tom cooks up the famous bacon bite recipe from BBQ Brian Misko’s “Grilling with House of Q” cookbook. A slab of cured bacon, cut into large strips and smoked, and then direct grilled before being sliced into cubes. Delicious!
Jalapeño poppers are a favorite appetizer around here. We’re always looking for ways to tweak our poppers to make them new and exciting again, so when Steven Raichlen visited us and shared his bacon wrapped snow crab jalapeño poppers from his book Project Smoke, we couldn’t wait to share them with all of you!
Josh Cary and Chef Tom Jackson have cooked up a new seasonal bi-weekly podcast in conjunction with KMUW. This podcast covers the history of Kansas City Burnt Ends and includes a recipe for a classic version of the dish.
Chef Tom tackles another brisket, Texas style. Instead of trimming out the point and flat and cooking them separate, we cook the full packer brisket and instead of foil we use butcher paper to wrap the brisket to help retain moisture and maintain our color.
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.
It's heating up out there. Cool off with this refreshing recipe for Asian inspired grilled pork loin, pineapple and onion skewers on a bed of cool crisp cucumber noodles, smothered in a sweet, salty and spicy peanut sauce!
Chef Tom smokes up some amazingly tender dry style baby back ribs. Rubbed with a little Plowboys BBQ Yardbird and Cattleman's Grill 8 Second Ride, they had the perfect balance of sweet and heat while retaining an amazing texture.
If you thought smoked pork belly couldn't get any better, I've got news for you. A few days in pastrami brine does amazing things to that fatty succulent slab of pork!
Chef Tom's most requested recipe is pork belly, and he loves to cook it for both pulled and sliced, so he decided to combine the two in one epic sandwich. Enjoy!
BBQ for breakfast? Yes, please! Really, though, this meal is great any time of day. I know at my house when we smoke a pork butt we can never quite finish off all of that pulled pork. This recipe is a great way to use your leftovers in a brand new way!
