Hi Jenyu

Finally succeeded in getting the chicken smoked!!! I used your ingredients but this smoking method from a you-tube demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnNVxm9Jl8o). His method of smoking was easier for me.

But if you are using this smoking method do stick to 10 minutes religiously. Do not use your favourite pot as there may be permanent stains. Yes, open your windows or do this outside.

As suggested by the video, try different flavours for smoking and use different meats.

Thanks again.

Regards

I made your Tea Smoked Chicken and it was amazing. I wrote all about it in my blog and even gave you some plugs.

Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Hi Jenyu,

Nearly a disaster. The smoking ingredients nearly burnt when I left in the grill for too long. I think it won’t work in an electric grill. It will work in a purpose made fish smoker.

Never mind, the chicken tasted good except it had no smokey flavour. In fact the chicken was pretty good and I just read the label saying it’s corn fed chicken.

I will try again and hope it will get a better result and serve this for Easter Saturday dinner.

Many thanks for putting out this recipe.

Regards
