Cherry Wood Smoked Chicken

February 19, 2011

I have been pretty busy and neglected to update the latest chicken grilling excursion.  The Spouse said that my standard chicken, pork, and beef items have not been as stellar since I embarked on this journey.  I believe that she once again is throwing down a challenge. 

Baumann's Fine Meats on Manchester and Brentwood has one of the greatest selections of wood smoking chips available anywhere.  They also have a secret supplier of various animal species (this will need to be explored in greater detail).  Anyway, I was told that cherry wood is excellent with poultry and decided to give it a try. 

Let us say that I may have found a new favorite wood to smoke with. 

I soaked the wood chips for 30-40 minutes in cold water.  An indirect fire was used to smoke the chicken for approximately 1 and 1/2 hours.  Result was an excellent smoky, tender chicken.  The Spouse withdrew her challenge.
