Ingredients

  • 3 KG Chicken parts

  • 3 liters of ice cold water

  • 12 g Prague Powder #1

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup kosher salt

Directions

  • Start with a litre of warm water, to ensure the salt, sugar and Prague Powder dissolve
  • Mix that slurry into the cold water
  • Add your chicken parts, making sure no pieces touch other pieces
  • Into the fridge, covered for 3 days
  • Out of the cure, pat dry with paper towel, then spray with Canola Oil
  • Add some fresh cracked pepper to the chicken pieces.
  • Smoke with a small amount of cherry wood, over 325-350 until 180 degrees internal

Notes

  • I used Chicken Legs but I really dislike the grizzle and tendons on legs, so I will use thighs next time. 
  • Meat was sweet, hammy and delicious!!  Kids ate it up, which is nice.
