Hank's Crispy Skin Christmas Ham!

[realdocBBQ]

Crispy skin, cooked on the Hank's Hot Box!

Henrik, you threw me off with that green stuff at the end, but other than that, looks awesome!

I'm cranking up the heat on the pellet for 3 spiral hams.

That was fun. We don't see small, skin-on hams like that really in the States.

I prolly woulda scored/hatched that skin before cooking.

Thanks for posting this.

Also, was Hank cooking in the snow there during one sequence? It's like it didn't even phase him.....

[Jerod Broussard]

He is even with Canada's upper third....as for as latitude.....COLD!

Neat video! When I lived in Ireland small, skin-on hams like that were called "gammons". I don't think I've ever seen one here in the US.

Thanks @DogFaced PonySoldier ! Yes, that turned out awesome. Just finished the recipe writeup on my website.

Man, that salt trick is so good to get the skin crispy. Not sure I got the part included in the video where I chop it up with a kitchen knife, but it just goes "crack" :-) Salty and tasty.

Here are some photos to complement:


The ham in its birthday suit :-)



Plenty o' salt for the skin




Grilled ham




Took this ham to 65° C internal, then let it rest on the cutting board for 30 minutes. So juicy!!




The open face sandwich. Green kale at the bottom (very Swedish food around X-mas), and then ham, mustard and crispy skin.



That sandwich disappeared in less than 60 seconds.

Looks delicious!
