Big thank you to Nancy ("nmlarson") for sharing this recipe for Green Chicken Chili!
Full (original) recipe can be found in this post:
http://thehotpepper.com/topic/70075-chili-con-carne-advice/?p=1591083

You know I had to put my own little spin on it though, right? ;)

Instead of chicken, I picked up a 3.5lb boneless turkey breast, and used up every single last granule of Shorerider's dry rub lol :mope: 'Twas a sad day, in my house ;) (seriously though, mate, that freakin' rub is absolutely amazing! :cheers: ) Injected HEAVILY with garlic butter, and smoked it for a few hours, over chunks of apple and pecan wood

This was SO damn juicy from the garlic butter injection!

The rest of the players (I didn't have any coriander, and I cheated on the garlic. Don't judge ;) )

Sweating everything down a lil' bit

Believe it or not, this was the very first time I've EVER tasted a green chili lol. This was a fantastic recipe and was absolutely delicious, but I feel like it was missing "something." I can't pinpoint what, exactly, that "something" is, but I wanna say that some blackened pineapple chunks would reeeeeaaalllly set this off!

Yeah.

I said it.

Pineapple.

Blackened.

Hold the ranch though.

And throw that shit on the ground.

For this recipe, anyway.

Butt Rocket.

:rofl:

Thanks for looking, and thanks again for sharing this great recipe, Nancy! I'll definitely be making this again!

:cheers:

Looks yummy!  My pleasure!  Edmick made a great comment on that thread.....suggesting when he competes, he grill/par-roasts the veggies in his chili.  I'm gonna try doing this prior to sweating the next time I make it.  I'm certain it could only improve it!

Yeah! That thought really did cross my mind, but laziness got the best of me, lol. I'll roast/blacken them next time, for sure! I'm probably gonna heat up a big bowl of the leftovers in a little while, for breakfast lol, after I come back in from shoveling ;)

Stay tuned for some "funky" St. Louis pork ribs, later this afternoon, for the football games today! :party:
 
Here ya go, Ashen. All the leftover "scraps" from the racks the other day, and the ones I trimmed today ;)

I can't decide if I like this rib rack yet or not, lol. First time using it today

After 2.5 hours of open smoke, over cherry chunks

Getting ready for the wrap, so I laid them down on a bed of brown sugar and butter

Meat side down (bones up), and added a little apple juice too

Same drill with the "scraps"

Everything wrapped up, nice and tight, and they're back on the smoker for another hour

More to follow in a little bit :)

I wanna crunch that rack and savor the flavor like a baby on a nipple falling asleep with it in my mouth

I need one of those camera filters to make mine look that good.
 
Filter or not it's top shelf butt rocket status!!!

I ran out of Shorerider's rub the other day, so I tried Jess Pryles' pork rub this time. Pretty damn good too! As much as I love Malcom Reed, Jess Pryles might be my new BBQ crush lol. She's an Aussie, living in Texas, and she's just a "tad" easier on the eyes than Malcom ;) :lol:

https://jesspryles.com/recipe/pork-rub-recipe/

1/4 cup sweet paprika
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground mustard
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne powder

^ Only thing I changed when I made it was cutting the cayenne powder down to 1/2 teaspoon, and adding a 1/2 teaspoon of ancho powder

Butt Rocket.
:cheers:
