Meal for 2 people
INGREDIENTS
4- boneless chicken breast
2- full ears of fresh sweet corn in the husk
1 - Kielbasa sausage
3 cups- Potato Salad
* I have a recipe for homemade potato salad on this site. But for just 2 people i use Texas Potato Salad pre-made at HEB.
Applewood wood chunks
Applewood Seasoning
Charcoal and grill
PREPARATION
- Pre-soak the wood chunks in water in a large bowl for an hour before cooking. This keeps them from burning up to fast and creates more smoke flavor.
- Use a Weber charcoal grill with chimney starter as pictured. Set two starter haystacks under the chimney to get the charcoal ready. Let that heat up until you see while charcoal around the top.
- Frozen breasts ...to speed up thawing frozen chicken, rinse with warm water until the frost is off then set out on a plate to finish thawing.
- Trim excess fat off and season with Applewood seasoning and brush with Kinders BBQ sauce. Do this on both sides.
- Cut the ends of the corn cobs off and peel the corn husks off and clean the cobs. Butter all around and wrap in foil sealing off both ends.
- No prep needed for the sausage.
COOKING
- Once the charcoal is ready, empty the coals to one side of the grill. You will be cooking with in-direct heat.
- Place the wet wood chunks on the coals.
- Place the chicken breasts, wrapped corn, and sausage on the opposite side of the coals.
- Once you close the lid, open the top vents fully. Let this smoke for 15-20 minutes.
- Midway rotate the corn and sausage.
- Cook another 15-20 minutes.
- Next move the chicken breast directly over the coals with the grill lid off.
- Cook another 5 minutes to char the breast a little.
- Check internal temp to be at least 160 and your done.
Plate the meal and make it look like it just came from the BBQ house down the street.
