Have to thank GeauxTigers0107 for the pepper jelly/tiger sauce idea. It was awesome.

Turkey breast cuts dry rubbed with my rub, olive oil, and honey along with an Italian marinated whole breast:




Foil wrapped the turkey, and started searing boneless skinless chicken breast marinated in the pepper jelly/ tiger sauce mix:



Took the turkey off, added more charcoal, seared some thighs in the pepper jelly marinade and moved to indirect heat and added some wood chips:




I have a mix of zucchini/squash/ eggplant/baby portobellos to grill at the end.

Sampler Platter:





Enjoy your Sunday.

Can you tell a big difference in taste or flavor from store bought? Store bought farm raised organic?

This chicken isn't certified organic but it gets to roam around while it's alive. I assume they fatten and kill them after they stop laying eggs. The main difference I notice is that they're almost turkey sized but still pretty juicy. The only chicken I ever buy from grocery store is wing for hot wings so I don't have too much of a point of reference though.

Well where do you find the Amish chicken turkeys? I'd like to try them out.

I've got a whole turkey breast brining since this morning
I was going to put it on the pit before I go to bed

anyone have a guess on temp so it doesn't overcook?
I'm guessing it's about 5 pounds
Or should I just put it in the oven?

That looks great Breesus! I had a fire going and nothing obvious to smoke so I made a queso:



Cream cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, homemade chili, sauted jalapeños and green peppers layered in a skillet

Haha my kids jumped on the queso to the point we have over half a chicken left. Gonna make a chicken pot pie for dinner tomorrow (it's sooo good with smoked chicken).

you arent getting laying hens to eat. 2 different types of chickens.

they dont fatten them but probably just grow them a little longer(and slower) than a standard chicken at the grocery store. maybe 70-80 days instead of 42-44


btw, that queso looks killer
