Cook Idea ?

pantsypants

I am hosting a party for 45 people and planning on doing pulled pork (its easy and cheap ) . Some of the people dont eat pork so i am thinking of doing something else .
Anyone have any thoughts ?  I am thinking something semi cheap and easy .

thanks

Don't know the timing, but I'd think about doing a bunch of spatchcock chickens and using it for a chicken salad. This could be done a day or two in advance and you'll still be able to use sandwich rolls for that too.

Spatchcock chicken, could put it on top of the pork so the pork dont drop on it.

cazzy

Chicken thighs and beef sausage.

Henapple did, what I was told, was a great smoked chicken salad at Salado.

Pull some chuck roasts.

I am thinking a meat  as there will be a lot of salads .
I think Turkey will come out on top .

You can go spatchcock with a turkey or this; which I did last year at Thanksgiving and it turned out great!

Be different.  Perhaps some fancy wine and tree rat.

@brisket_Fanatic I like the idea of pulled beef ,
I will weigh the costs between that and Turkey
thanks

Imported chuck roast or supermarket blade roast?  I have yet to try pulled beef.

henapple

Chicken thighs or legs. Still cold? Chili. The smoked salad is good. Oversmoke the chicken with hickory...A lot of smoke.

I process the chicken
Mayo
Quarter red grapes
Peach cut the same size
Loveless Cafe Peach rub
Salt if needed
I add pecans but you never know who's allergic
Hawaiian rolls or croissant

Pulled beef is great, but harder to do. It can be hard to get parts of the sholder clod, such as the chuck, to be tender. Some braising or foiling helps.

Dark meat turkey works very well w. smoke, and slow cook. Some people cook turkey wing sections, the portion w. 2 bones, as "turkey ribs." If I can find them, turkey thighs turn out really well smoked, and are good sliced thin for sammys.

I need something that is easy , Beef may be a bit to complicated .

thanks

henapple

Turkey legs.. ?

henapple

Brisket?

nolaegghead

This for a bar mizvah?

I agree with Cazzy - chicken thighs and beef sausage.  Marinate the chicken, I like the boneless, skinless thighs, they're real easy to cook.

What about some fajitas, easy to do. Or a big batch of wangs.

henapple

Fajita bar is a great idea.

Canugghead

easy, get LS to supply few pan loads of Indonesian satay beef

Pulled beef is really good. The cook is a little different than pulled pork toward the end.
