    Smoking the Gravy Too!

    Decided we had a little too much beef and pork lately, time to switch it up a bit. Spatchcocked a chicken, prepped some gravy from the pieces and parts, threw it all on the Hasty-Bake a few minutes ago. Going to make some mashed taters with it.

    Chicken all prepped .... very simple, dry brined for about 4 hours, rubbed with some olive oil and black pepper

    Chicken has been on about 1:15 now .... getting close. The gravy looks fantastic. My neighbor texted me to say I should stop tormenting him with the smells out of the backyard

    Chicken breast is about 150F and getting nicely brown

      Always put a pan under turkeys to catch dripping when I smoke them so I know what your in for.
      Only thing that can screw it up is too much salt when brining.
      There was no amount of watering down or enough red wine to help my first batch of salty smoked gravy.

        I learned that lesson the hard way once too. I put no salt in the gravy itself because of that. I add salt later if needed.

        Yuppers. Agreed, Gentlemen. I've Screwed th Pooch more than once in my life, historically, by addin XS salt. Can always add more. No so much can remove. Oops

        Mr. Bones the yardbird was good ... but the gravy was top notch according to the lady of the house.
