Been wanting to try this for a while. Not grilling weather, so I lined the bottom of my wok with aluminum foil, used the round steaming rack that came with the wok, and the lid to seal. Certainly it was necessary to use the range hood to keep the house from getting smokey, because the wok lid didn’t seal perfectly, but all-in-all it worked like a charm. Since I was worried about having to abort the process due to smoke, I cooked the chicken thighs pretty well in the first stage – brought to a boil, then simmered on low for 30 min. Then 30 min. in the wok-smoker, over med/high heat. Golden brown and delicious!

Have you tried it with Lapsang Souchong tea? The tea has a smokey flavor.

You can do this in the kitchen. I have and with a smoking mixture maybe twice as big as the one in this recipe (but I have yet to test this recipe). The trick is to make your foil tent as airtight as possible. And of course, I always keep the vent at max. It smells of smoke, but barely anything escapes, mostly water vapour.

I use a big stainless steel pan (the same I use for roasting turkey) and line it with extra-wide sturdy foil, but make sure to cut the pieces so that they exceed the height of the pan by at least 6 inches. I put the smoking mixture at the bottom of the pan and I put a grill at least two inches away from the bottom. I put the meat on the grill. Then I tent a length of foil over the food and fold the lining foil over and seal it tightly.

I just won a indoor smoker on a blog and am surfing the web for some easy recipes. I just got some drumsticks (bcos my 6 yr old just love ‘em) in the fridge. So, I just rubbed them with salt and peppercorns and it’s sitting the fridge for to marinade.

Can’t wait to smoke the drumsticks tomorrow!!!

Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
