So I picked up some chicken thighs from my local Stater Brothers:
In a nod to TonyBel, I decided to make some yakitori chicken.
Hold your horses, I'm getting to the filet......
I changed the recipe from rice wine to rice wine vinegar and from soy sauce to ponzu.
I did this because if I recall correctly, marinades need an acid component to "pierce" the meat.
Diced up the thigh meat, and into the marinade they went for about 4 hours....
The feftover thigh meat gets a coating of Kickin' Chicken
No snaps of this, but it was good
So Mrs. SJ comes into the kitchen, takes a whiff, and wants a smoked chicken, so back I go to Stater Brothers.....
So I fire up the UDS, and while I'm waiting for it to come to temp, I gave the leftover filet mignon piece another coat of rub....
And wrapped it in bacon!
A smoked filet mignon? Uh, yup!
Back to the kabobs...
I used "Old Leaky" for this....
Shishkabobs on!
Turning turning turning....
This shot is blurry, but I assure you they are done!
You two play nice now! Daddy will be back!
Some time later......
The filet:
Different taste than preparing it the traditional way, but it was a try...
The chicken (someone couldn't wait for me to snap the pic...
