My salado cooks

henapple

I'm probably known for PBR and Ozark Oak but I do egg occasionally.

Smoked chicken salad
2 chickens heavily smoked. 4 chunks directly in the fire. I shred in the processor.
Mayo
Celery
Red seedless grapes quartered
Peach cut to match grape size
Pecans
The smoke blends well with the mix. Seemed well received and had compliments.

Dark chocolate and cherry stuffed jalapeño wrapped in bacon.
Cut the pepper in half long way being sure to leave a good canoe. Scrape the inside clean. Look for round peppers and mild or young ones.
Dove dark chocolate square cut in half. Place each half on the end of the canoe.
Place a maraschino cherry in the middle.
Wrap with bacon being
sure to cover the ends really well. I used regular cut. You could partially cook the bacon but I don't. The longer cook helps the jalapeño.
When crisp remove and cool. The chocolate will be extremely hot.
With a sharp knife cut in half in the center of the cherry being careful not to mash.
It has a great presentation on the cut end with the different colors. It seemed to be a hit. A lot of moans, sexual innuendos and a few requests for a cigarette. Weird combo but it blends well with the sweet, heat and salty bacon.

In no way at all bragging. Just nice to see folks enjoy something I cooked. I just need a name for them. Sex poppers? Mexican orgasm? Lol

Y'all put raisins in yer jambalaya?

Seriously bud the chocolate was the bomb in the abt's. I do not like chocolate at all. Worked a summer in a chocolate manufacturing facility.

Chicken salad was outstanding man.
Only got the chocolate before being cooked.

I think chocolate cherry popper has a nice ring to it and the right degree of innuendo.

henapple

I like love bombs.. panty droppers are out.

The chicken salad was really good too. I never knew you could cook.

henapple

I cant..Picked it up at HEB.

Ragtop99

interesting recipe on the poppers.  It would be nice to have a pic in this thread if you have one.

henapple

Man I didn't have time. People were trying to snatch them off the cutting board. One guy grabbed a whole one. I'm gonna do some tomorrow and I'll post pics.

Little Steven

I didn't even get a taste of the chicken salad. I have never seen a big bowl of stuff disappear so quick.

henapple

I should have cooked four. Was going to pre cook but you and Mickey got me drinking early...not that it was a problem.

Foghorn

"... but you and Mickey got me drinking early..."

Says the guy who showed up in Salado last year with "I'll be down at the river early Friday morning with a case of beer..."

Little Steven

I only had his arm about halfway up his back before he calfed.

@henapple‌ I wonder if the guy that grabbed the whole one bit into it and got piping hot magma of chocolate burning his mouth.

henapple

I hope..

Not the best picture but holy crap they were good.

@caliking‌ exactly... Wrapped Chocolate Cherry Poppers. The innuendo is very subtle but it's there in every word.

Spring Hen

That does it. Next year I am not cooking and I am watching you cook.

I didn't get to taste any of that great stuff.....love the name Love Bites for the ABT's.

So nice seeing you again and looking forward to next year.

Better than Sex Poppers!!!

SmokeyPitt

Those look awesome man.  I say we just call them:

Poppers..... How I do it.

...aka Poppers Hennaple Style, or Hennaple Style Poppers. 

Griffin

NO pics? I don't believe it at all.

henapple

Love bite abt.. how's that?

henapple

@Griffin. . Seriously no time. I was trying to get most to the egg cooks that requested one. Someone literally reached over a took a whole one of the cutting board.

You had a knife... you should have used it.

"Love bomb" has a better ring to it in my, IMO. That's how babies happen.

SmokeyPitt

Next time make a couple with ghost peppers and leave them on the cutting board for Grabby McGrabberton.  

What about Cherry Bombs?  Too easy?
