I make a chicken and sausage spaghetti in my version of a pink sauce (mix of marinara and alfredo) that goes really well with the smoke flavor.

Chicken salad sandwiches are pretty darn good if the chicken was smoked.

Chicken enchiladas

Did this with leftover smoked chicken thighs a few months ago, added chipotles in adobo to the enchilada sauce to give more smoky flavor. It turned out great


ETA: Also, have had the smoked chicken Caesar salad from City Slice a few times over quarantine that was great. Have chicken on the smoker now in hopes to replicate it during the week

I smoked 10 lbs today for a gumbo tomorrow and chicken salad.

Other ideas are chicken pot pie, chicken noodle soup, chicken enchiladas, put it on top salads. I've added it to some curry recipes too

I've recently smoked a batch and have been lunching on chicken burritos.

What's your target temp on quarters? Of course, the meat is safe at 165 degrees, but I find the texture better if I take it up to 188+.

I have done fried smoked chicken and it came out great. I only smoked the chicken to about 125° and finished in the fryer though. Not sure how it would come out if the chicken is already fully cooked.

Anybody ever made smoked chicken and dumplings? I was having a similar conversation this weekend.

I put some smoked chicken in my dumplings when I attempted to make it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t that noticeable to me, but, to be fair, I picked a pretty crappy C&D recipe to begin with.
