FIRED CHICKEN RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. For the tomato sauce, peel and finely slice the garlic, then fry in a good amount of olive oil until lightly coloured. Pick and tear the basil leaves, then add to the pan with the tomatoes. Using the back of a wooden spoon, mush and squash the tomatoes as much as you can. Season to taste.
  2. As soon as it comes to the boil, remove the pan from the heat. Strain the sauce through a coarse sieve into a bowl, using the spoon to push any larger bits of tomato through. Discard the basil and garlic left in the sieve, but scrape any tomatoey goodness off the back of the sieve into the bowl. Pour the sauce back into the pan, bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cook until it’s the perfect consistency for spreading on your pizza bases.
  3. For the pizza dough, sieve the flour and salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the middle. In a jug, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into 650ml lukewarm water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. When it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough. Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
  4. Remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out. You can use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in clingfilm, in the fridge (or freezer) until required. If using straight away, divide the dough up into 6 to 8 balls.
  5. Timing-wise, it’s a good idea to roll the pizza bases out about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to cook them. Stack the pizza bases, with a square of oiled tin foil between each one, cover them with clingfilm, and pop them into the fridge. Now’s the time to get your wood-fired oven, or conventional oven, heated up to full whack. Place a couple of heavy baking trays in the oven to heat up, too.
  6. Meanwhile, click off the broccoli florets and roughly chop (using the stalk, too). Blanch in boiled salted water for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain. Tear the anchovies into small pieces, then deseed and finely chop the chilli. Squeeze the sausage meat out of their skins, then roll into small, rough meatballs.
  7. When you’re ready to assemble your pizzas, remove a tray from the oven, put a pizza base on it and assemble it quickly – smear tomato sauce on the base and dot with broccoli, torn up anchovy fillets and sausage meatballs. Tear over the Taleggio cheese and sprinkle with chilli. Crush and scatter over the fennel seeds. Place in the oven immediately while you prepare the remaining pizzas. If you’re using a wood-fired oven the pizzas should cook, one by one, in about 3 to 4 minutes – you want them to be puffed up, crispy and delicious. In a regular oven, they’ll take 8 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Light a chimney of lump charcoal and dump it in the back half of the fire box of the Yoder Smokers Loaded Wichita Offset Smoker when the charcoal is hot. Add a split each of apple and pecan wood. Stabilize the temperature of the smokers at 250ºF.
• Rub the pork butt with a thin layer of Sriracha. Season generously with Lane’s BBQ Honey Sriracha Seasoning and Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub. Smoke until a dark red mahogany bark is formed and the internal temperature reaches about 155ºF (about 5 hours).
• Remove the pork butt from the smoker and place over two sheets of heavy duty foil. Add the apple cider to the foil and wrap tight. Return to the grill.
• Continue cooking the pork until the internal temperature surpasses 205ºF and the blade bone easily pulls out of the roast, about 2.5 hours more). Remove the pork from the grill and rest wrapped in the foil.
• Add more lump charcoal to the coal bed in the firebox and spread out the coals. Install the Yoder Smokers Reversible Cast Iron Skillet in the fire box to preheat.
• Prepare the crepe batter. In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk and eggs and whisk. In a separate medium sized bowl combine the flour, sugar and salt and mix well. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and whisk in the wet ingredients. Whisk until any lumps are gone. Let batter rest 20 minutes before usage.
• In the meantime, make the apple compote. Preheat a Finex Cast Iron Skillet on top of the cast iron griddle in the fire box. Melt the butter in the skillet. When the butter begins to foam, add the remaining ingredients except for the lemon zest and juice and bourbon. Let the apples cook for a few minutes until the begin to soften. Add the lemon juice and zest, as well as the bourbon. Let simmer for a minute to cook out the alcohol. Remove the skillet from the grill. Transfer the apple compote to a bowl and clean out the skillet.
• Return the skillet to the griddle to preheat. When an infrared thermometer reads 375ºF when pointed at the center of the skillet, you are ready to cook your crepes.
• Spray the skillet with duck fat. Ladle in 1/4 cup of crepe batter and immediately swirl the batter around the skillet to spread evenly to the edges. When the bottom is lightly browned, but not crisp, flip the crepe. Continue cooking until both sides show a golden brown tuile pattern, abut again the crepe should still be soft and flexible. Hold the crepes on a plate covered in a warm damp towel.
• Shred the pulled pork by hand, working the juices into the shredded pork. Crisp individual serving of the pork in the skillet for serving.
• Serve the crepes folded into thirds and topped with crisp pork and warm apple compote. Drizzle with the juice from the compote to finish.
