some recycled ideas & selective inbreeding, this is a cross between the chic-o-stix, chicken in a cup, & blue swine pie.
I like cooking with ground meats – allows you to break away from the natural anatomy of the given animal & form any shape you want plus there’s no better tenderization method I know of. Of course there’s a recent trend toward letting it rot into a festering pile of post-enzymated fecal matter, but that ain’t my thing.
Chicken thigh meat works particularly well as it naturally contains a perfect amount of fat to keep it from dying out; this wouldn’t work with breast meat or lean ground beef.
Of course you could put whatever you want in this, but my inaugural chickypie contained roasted green & red peppers along with grilled Portobello mushrooms & swiss:
grind chicken thighs:
in a pie tin, spray just enough Pam to give your favorite rub something to stick to:
apply the thigh:
a layer of roasted green pepper:
a layer of swiss cheese:
a layer of grilled portobello mushrooms:
a layer of roasted red pepper
more thigh meat:
to the egg indirect (with everything but the exterior shell already cooked, phase one of cooking is really just a bake to firm up the chicken):
This would be a really good time to enjoy a fine beverage & some good music:

following a few, flip onto a grid (or veggie cooker) to get some smoke & color on the bottom, this would be a good time to sauce the top if you want. Leave on another 15 minutes-ish till it looks good:
all done:
Cut that beotch open & see what’s what:
Spring is definitely in the air here

i like the pie pan idea. it'd make it easier for me to throw that sh!t out my driver's side window.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante

easy indeed, & the flavor can go as far as you push it. I was in a veggie mood, but also thought maybe a mid-layer of smoked sausage would be good, maybe some fresh herbs, a stroll through the supermarket could yield a lot of possibilitieshappy in the hut

Interesting cook. I bet it was pretty good. My guess is good flavor and texture.
-
when zippy the pig was in his original pen, I accidentally dripped a stream of hogg fat from a drip pan through the table onto his eye. For a little while, it was bright orange, but over time turned black; that was a few years ago & he's still crying :laugh: :laugh:

Eat more CHIKIN! Looks great Zip.

Wow! What a great idea!!!

That's a must try. Looks fantastic.

You must be a creative chef for Taco Bell. Take four ingredients, put them together in a myriad of different layers and name each creation something new.
Break out of the mold a little next time and quit being so predictable. -
some people think I do that in a current life :ohmy:happy in the hut

Take it Hoss and run! I don't have a grinder. :woohoo:

W-O-W ! That looks incredibly awesome! I need to give that a try! Did you load the recipe in the recipe section??????? Pleeeese? Otherwise, I will have to guess and re-invent the wheel. Which, in Eggdom, can't be all that bad.
Thanks for posting the great idea! -
