Cherry Smoked Bourbon Chicken Thighs[p]1 ½ lbs boneless, skinned chicken thighs
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup bourbon
2 ea garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tbl grated fresh ginger
2 tbl dried onion flakes
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ tsp Sambal or hot sauce of choice
1 tbl corn starch
2 tbl water [p]Mix together soy sauce. Bourbon, garlic, ginger, onion flakes, sugar, and sambal. Let sit several minutes to allow sugar to dissolve. Mix well. Place chicken pieces in a 1 gal. freezer bag, add sauce, press air from bag and seal. Massage well to distribute marinade.
Refrigerate overnight , turning several times and massaging to keep marinade distributed.[p]Set up egg for 350 direct cooking. Add cherry chunks if desired. Remove thighs from marinade (reserving marinade) and cook thighs for about 10 min. per side.
While thighs cook, put reserved marinade in a sauce pan and boil gently for at least 3 min. to call any bacteria. Mix corn starch and water and add to boiling marinade to thicken to desired consistency. Spoon on the thighs before and after the turn.[p][p]Fruit Bran Muffins[p]2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup wheat bran
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
¾ cup fruits bits
½ cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup egg substitutes (whole eggs will work)
2 cup milk (I use skim)
¾ cup unsweetened apple sauce[p]Mix all of the dry ingredients together, then add the fruit and toss to coat. In a small bowl, mix the milk, egg (substitute), and apple sauce. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate overnight.
The next day; line 2 -12 each muffin tins with paper liners..spritz well with cooking spray. Fill each cup 2/3-3/4 full and bake in preheated 400 egg (indirect) or oven for 18-22 min.[p]SB[p]now CB[p][p]

Chrispy Bob (the former Smokey Bob),[p]That chicken and those muffins were fantastic. Cathy commented Sunday on the way home that one of those muffins would be great with our coffee. I will be doing both recipes in the very near future.[p]Nice meeting you.[p]Chuck

Wise One,[p]I'll try and get the Baked Cavatelli (Snakes and Worms) written up soon...but, I didn't measure anything, so it's gonna be kind of difficult to do but maybe I can get the general idea across... [p]Tonia

QBabe, sounds like you need to make it again - and measure this time. :-) Measurements make a poor chef good. They also make an excellent chef good. Not better, just good. :-)
