Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
Corn finshed and fatted CCX 1/2 chicken, 5.08lb. Covered in warm bacon grease, redman salted and black peppered. I got it on the electric smoker with dead apple branch wood chunks for smoke. Going for low and slow 225F ~ 250F, with a target thigh temperature 168F. Needs about 45 minutes cooking time per lb and 1/2 hour rest covered.

Every meat I've cooked in this electric smoker has been delicious, thanks to this a handy chart for selecting smoke wood.

I'll let you know how chicken turns out.

That chicken looks great! I've been making marinara for two days; now canning it. 21 pints so far; more to go. We had some for dinner last night, but it is much better today now that it's a bit thicker.

Tonight will be Chinese apricot chicken, same as orange chicken but using apricot instead of orange. Sides of rice and asparagus.

The sauce...

Dang, I'd have forgone the crackers though 😂

i had the meatballs and sauce on a proper bed of spaghetti. :) it was mainly for a bit of humor that i put that together this morning. then we had to argue for a while about the presentation until the top cracker started to warp from the sauce moisture. laughing the whole time.

i made up for it later by teasing Mom with the small flashlight laser pointer, best $3 i spent in a long time. it works for cats so why not wilder creatures?...
