How to smoke a hot-smoked chicken?
First about how to smoke a hot-smoked chicken. Meat remains fragrant, juicy, and thus without the big financial and physical expenses.
Ingredients:
- fresh chicken - 1 pc;
- salt, pepper, seasoning - to taste.
Preparation
We rub the meat well with salt, pepper and spices, let's dry it a little and put it in a special plastic bag for baking. 2 hours we keep it for a couple, so that it soaked and was juicy. Then we let it dry again and send it to the smokehouse for a strong fire for about forty minutes. Next, we remove the scorched skin and enjoy the amazing taste.
How to smoke a cold-smoking chicken?
Now about how to smoke a cold-smoking chicken. This method of smoking differs from the previous one in that meat is not cooked on fire, but for smoke and time in cooking it takes much more.
Chop the chicken into pieces of medium size and rub it with a mixture of seasonings, salt and pepper, put it in a bowl and cover all the salt so that the meat is completely covered. Let's brew for a few days. Then rinse with cold water and dry for two days. Next three more days we smoke on cold smoke and in the end we get ready meat. It will be a bit stiff and salty, but the shelf life is long enough.
It's not hard to smoke a chicken at home on one side, but on the other hand it's a little intricate, given how long it will take to smoke a chicken.
