This Chicken is HIGH! - (cannabis infused bbq sauce)

I was never a big “Mary Jane” guy growing up, but as I got older and more banged up…and since it’s now legalized in most states, I’ve been dabbling in to cannabis to help with aches and pains especially while sleeping. 

That being said, I think we’re just a few years away from seeing some super creative uses in restaurants…cannabis tasting menus, infused cocktail programs, etc. It’s pretty interesting stuff. 

So I’ve been messing around with infusing bbq sauces. This one was a spicy buffalo wing sauce infused with cannabis hot honey. Used it to glaze these smoked and butter braised half chickens. 

Kept the dosage very low, but these came out super tasty. Looking fwd to experimenting more in the future. Anyone else cooking with cannabis?

  • Neat. I think this may be the first cannabis-infused cook I’ve ever seen on here. 

    The chicken looks great. The perfect precursor to a bag of Cheetos. 😂

    What kind of dosage does it work out to per serving?

    Love it…Cheetos! So I was going for around 5 mg per serving, although because it was really just the glaze, I’m guessing that a half chicken is probably about half of that.

    As far as food manufacturing goes…it’s an odd path. We can’t bake THC edibles in the same facility as non THC……unless the laws/rules change. We were aiming to be one of the first in Louisiana mass producing brownies/cookies/something.

    This is correct. That’s why THC for edibles is done via oil

    Grabbed a cream soda out of the fridge a few weeks back, took a sip and said this tastes like crap. Went to dump it and was warned it was a $7.00 weed drink and not to waste it. Plugged my nose and put it down as fast as possible. Proceeded to finish watching a TV show that had maybe 15 minutes left before I started supper. Fast forward to after the show and I don't think I could get off the couch if I wanted to and using a knife would likely not be a great idea. Sat there for a good hour and a half trying to focus before I could confidently walk again. Too much of a head spin buzz, that I did not care for. I think I'll stick to whiskey

    I'm not about to give up my bourbons, but check out Levity's Mellow Mash. From their website:

    Levity Cannabis Spirits’ take on bourbon utilizes full-spectrum hemp extract and natural flavors instead of alcohol to achieve a smooth spirit with notes of oak smoke, bourbon, and naturally occurring Delta-9 THC. Mellow Mash's proprietary lipid solubility tech disrupts the cannabis beverage industry, enhancing versatility.. Mellow Mash contains 2 mg THC, 1 mg CBD, and 1 mg of CBG per fluid ounce, 50 mg of Delta 9 THC per bottle.

    I can see why you couldn't get off the couch if that is something you don't partake in normally with 10mg!

    Edibles don't work for me. Some people don't metabolize THC. I've tried everything, even ate an entire medical grade 100mg fruity pebbles treat (most edibles are 5mg). Nothing. So I vape concentrated rosin in an electric puffco peak. I use weed for pain and would rather not smoke it so much, so the edibles would have been much better and would have lasted longer as well. Still .. weed is way better than the 600mg daily dose of oxycontin I was on for fourteen years straight.

    10mg will many non-initiated out of commission for the night. Even 2.5mg will make some super sleepy.

    I grew up in the sixties and seventies,  with seven brother and one sister. I'm next to the youngest so some of my brothers were much older than me. When they started smoking weed in high school my parents were confused. They used to let my brothers have friends over before high school and they would sit and smoke weed in their bedroom. Around that time there were reports in the media that men who smoked weed would start to grow boobs (not kidding). One morning my father burst into their bedroom while they were smoking and yelled "I hope you all grow t!ts". I've never heard laughter like that day. My father was **** like I've never seen. I will never forget that day.

    Well, what happened to your brothers?  Have they started wearing manzieres?

    Their breasts look totally normal. I know because I see them when we wash down at the creek weekly. Over time it was my father's breasts that started to drop. I think he should have smoked pot with my brothers.

    Also, one time a friend of mine 's big sister had a party. We were maybe fifteen but they let us in, it was packed, they gave us beers. I saw my older brothers come in and followed them down to the basement. My friends father was there. My brothers showed up with a black face mask attached to three bowls sticking out. My brother put it on his face and my buddies father screamed "what the f&$k is that?" My brother took it off of his face and said "it's bong". My friends father screamed at the top of his lungs .. "a bomb! Get that fu@#ing thing out of my house!". 

    Again there was a lot of laughing..
