    @SmokeyPitt, when you are getting the attention of people who just happen to be passing by and glancing at a computer screen out of the corner of their eye (like Mrs. Fletcherfam), you have really hit it out of the park.  That ought to get bonus points.

    So nothing to creative or fancy, marinated in the wifes soya sauce (soya, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, teriyaki) a sweet and hot, (mixture of bbq sauce, hot sauce and seasoning) and the 3 rd was just rubbed with 2 different seasonings. Twice baked potatoes and corn on the cob. The bread is some mixture of cheese, ranch dressing, green onion.  The chicken looks burn, but was not, turned out great, its just the dark soya mix. Was quite a challenge getting everything on the egg, but it all worked out. And I think I have now convinced the wife to get a swing rack. Have a great  weekend everyone!

    Henapple, sorry for the delay in the reply, busy weekend.

    She is not sure where she got it from, family I would guess. She sort of just wings it but these are her rough amounts.

    1 cup soya

    4 tbsp brown sugar

    2 tsp ginger

    1/4 cup katchup

    1/4 cup teriyaki (optional)

    2 tsp garlic powder

    She usually marinates for 4 to 6 hours, I make extra sauce so i can paste and get a good crust. Let me know when you try it. hope you like it.

    I used to click on the thumbnail in photobucket to enlarge and copy and paste in the post. Can't do that anymore. I now copy the thumbnail and paste but the result is a small pic that doesn't enlarge

  • Well, I didn't take a picture of it raw, so my entry doesn't comport with the rules of the throwdown (and can't compete with prior entries, at any rate), but I posted this cook last night, and since it's chicken, I'll repost it here, just in the spirit of things.  

    I came up with an initial idea and, as always, got great advice from my fellow Eggers:  here, @Eggcelsior, @Charlie tuna, and @SmokeyPitt.

    Four chicken breasts.(these still had the tenderloin on - from Costco)
    1/3 cup pine nuts
    The biggest shallot you can find (or two small ones), peeled and diced
    A reasonable bunch - say, 18-24 shoots - of garlic chives (or regular chives), chopped
    6 oz. (roughly) cream cheese
    2T (roughly) grated Parmesan

    Set the cream cheese on the counter to come up to room temperature.  Butterfly the chicken breasts and pound them flat.  Toast pine nuts until just browned (we do about 3 minutes in the toaster oven on the medium toast setting).  In a shallow sauce pan or small sauteuse, saute shallots and garlic chives with salt and pepper in butter until softened.  Remove pan from heat and add cream cheese, parmesan, and pine nuts, and stir to soften the cream cheese and combine.  Top the flattened breasts with equal amounts of the mixture, and roll tightly around the filling.  Wrap with two (or more, I suppose) thick-cut slices of uncured bacon, and secure with a pair of 6" wooden skewers.

    Light the Egg and bring it up to temp - about 375*.  Add two medium (half-fist-sized) chunks of applewood to the center of the fire.  Put on the platesetter, legs up, and whatever rig you want to use to get the breasts high up in the dome.  I used, on advice, the three-tier BGE rig and put the breasts all the way up top.  Cook until the internal temp hits 160* in the fattest part of the breast (and double-check that the filling hits 160*, too, since it's been in contact with raw chicken), flipping once when the bacon starts to crisp (again, this was on excellent advice I received, and you can monitor it through the top vent of the Egg).

    Sorry to basically repost something I posted on its own thread, but I didn't see this throwdown thread until afterward.

    @SaturdayFatterday: Those look and sound great!  Love the color...nice browned chicken that looks like it fused with the bacon :)



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. 

  • @SmokeyPitt: thanks!  I owe it all to the good advice I got.
