Tyrus Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 When I received the rotisserie I knew chicken had to be first, simple and good test. A nice toy almost as good as the Lionel railroad set I had as a kid. Well, it was a 3 part process, brine, rub and sauce. While the brining was on I smoked up a 4.5 Lb piece of pork belly for bacon. This piece was cured for 5 or 6 days with an addition of apple jam and cooked to 150 with some pineapple juice and soy sauce baste. That makes it Hawaiian, if a Kangaroo walked by it would Australian. I got the spit on and it was a wonder to behold, don't take much to please me. The chook was rubbed and about 40 mins later basted with the sauce. The sauce was real good but was used up as a baste, it would have been nice to dip at the end. Hope you like the pics 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Chicken is looking very tasty and so does your pork belly. Slicing that for breakfast I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I went from 200 on the bacon to 350 for the chicken and I think it climbed to 400 when I came out after a second check. No problem, I took it off later and the meat was just what you would expect. No work involved, have to say I was quite pleased. Nice tool, nice toy.

Sure sure put the bacon in frig but before I slice it goes in the freezer for an hour to stiffen up a little more then I slice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did allude to it though. You know the chicken coming off the KK is always moist, the KK factor I call it, sort of a built in forgiveness for the operator. The taste had a sweet vinegar coating with a warm setting to the lips coming through from the rub. Together they played well. Visually, I would have liked to have seen more red from the sauce like I saw on Eddie Mac's pork but the taste overrode any expectations with appearance. The bacon was spot on as you Brits might mention, just enough salt inside to make it one you would appreciate. That's it, not legendary, closer to epic.

Until you started your needling. All good. I won't rise to the bait. Imagine I said something nice about your epic chicken and that you'll soon be sending me the rub in payment when Philly win.
