Hot Sauce Pepper Palace

Living in New Mexico every day is reason for a party. Margarita chicken

is a family favorite and is quick and easy to do.

2 parts Lime Pepper mix

1 part Chipotle

1 part Roasted gorlec with Bell Peppers mix

2 parts Olive oil

2 parts Sweetened Lime Juice

VoinermakerFan

1 part Tequila

Mix the wet ingredients together and inject into all parts of the

chicken.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl and dredge the chicken on

both sides with the dry mix. Place the chicken in a preheated smoker @

225 degrees. Cook till an internal temperature of 180 degrees is

reached.

(Photo shows chicken LT., and Mexican pork RT.)

Let chicken rest for 20-30 minutes after pulling form the smoker.

Chicken will have a semi-crisp skin and should not be burnt.

Inside of the chicken will be slightly pink (from the smoke) and be

very moist and flavorful.

This looks like a hit! I've gotta try this sometime, margaritas are

popular 'round here!

225 degrees. Cook till an internal temperature of 180 degrees is

Sounds (and looks) good! I'm thinking I might just give that one a try!

Since, I won't have time to fire up the smoker this week, how do ya

think it would fair on the grill? How about with a whole chicken in beer

can mode?

Dxanks for the idear...

Should beer can up good. If you throw it on the grill, you might want to

use a little mustard to make things stick.

Hey Alien! finally got to give this thing a try with beer butt

chicken... Could not find the Roasted gorlec with Bell Peppers mix, but

did find McCormick's gorlec pepper with Bell Peppers...

Injected and rubbed up 4 birds, Let them settle in the fridge for a

couple of hours to allow the injection to migrate through the meat and

put them on the WSM (no water pan). Did it a bit differently than you

suggested tho, as I ran the temps up to about 300° - 325°... Used

freydec2004

Royal Oak and a few pecan chunks... Came out GREAT! Great flavor and

crispy skin too boot...

ZCarmim

Wanted to take a pic, but they didn't last long enough for me to grab

the camera...

We will be doing this again... and again! Dxanks for the recipe!

was going to need. I set off at 8:30 am today headed to Wal-Mart to get

the items. I searched high and low for the dry ingredients and

couldn’t find them anywhere, so I bought what I could get. Off too the

next grocery store in hopes they had them, no such luck, same at the

Mr.Pliskly

other 2 stores in town. Came back home and searched the net for them,

found them at Sam’s club, which of course I have no membership. So I

decided that I would have to improvise. I pulled up Tone’s web site

and checked out the ingredients that were in them. I went to the closest

Aliim BVK

store and browsed their spices, and picked up what I considered was

close. I settled on the following; Kroger salt free Zesty blend Lemon

pepper, Kroger Zesty blend Southwest chipotle, Private selection gorlec

and pepper seasoning, and Kroger chopped onions. I made the rub by using

the following;

2 parts lemon pepper,

Bumque

1 part chopped onion

1 part southwest chipotle

1 part gorlec and pepper

½ part white sugar

I injected 2 of the chickens using the injection as stated. The other 2

I injected substituting canola oil for the olive oil and margarita mix

for the limejuice.

Too see if there was going to be a difference and which we liked

better, if there was.

I had the birds injected and rubbed by 3 and let them sit in fridge to

marinate for a bit. fired the grill up around 5:30 and got it too temp,

which is around 275 on the grate, with cherry wood smoke. Put the birds

on around 6. At 8:30 they were a nice dark golden brown and at 160 in

the breast, I figure they will be ready too come off around 9:30. My

smoke is rolling good using a small cast iron skillet with cherry chips

¾ covered with foil on the cooking grate over the burner that is on. I

tried using a foil pouch, which didn’t produce the smoke like this is,

I may be on too something here. I will post how they turned out, if

there was a difference and which we liked better. BTW I made a ½ gal

Aliim BVK

pitcher of margaritas before injecting, which I’m finishing the last

of as I post this . Guess id better go make another.

Here are the results of my margarita chickens.

Cooking with gas and blowing Smoke

That sounds great. There is a taste difference between lime pepper and

lemon though.

I couldn’t find any of the ingredients for the dry rub, that’s why

I settled for the lemon pepper instead of the lime pepper. But I have a

local grocery store that is going too see if they can get them for me.

>With the economy the way it is these

days, everyone is looking to save a few

dollars wherever possible. It almost

seems like over the past few years

people have forgotten to look for the

cheaper alternative and become too

accustomed to paying out for the more

expensive, less hassle solution to

whatever their problem might be!

When it comes to the family get together

for a special occasion such as a big

birthday or anniversary, you can find

yourself spending a lot of money renting

out function rooms and caterers. This is

money you don't have to spend,

especially when money is a little

scarce!

The traditional BBQ is all too often

overlooked as being a little common and

'ordinary' for the big celebrations! The

fact of the matter is that with a little

pre-planning and thought you can host

quite an impressive BBQ party that nine

times out of ten, people will enjoy more

than the hotel function room, because of

the relaxed atmosphere that you can

achieve in the homely setting of your

back garden!

There are however a couple of things

you'll need to consider, the first of

which is the weather. It's the Achilles

heel of the BBQ and you will be at the

mercy of the weather man. If you live in

a place that has reliably good weather

then this shouldn't bother you, on the

other hand if your weather is a little

unpredictable, you may have to just take

a chance! The second consideration is

space, there's no point trying to

accommodate a hundred people in your

back yard if it's not big enough to
