Smoked Chicken Chile Rellenos

[cowgirl]

Sorry for so many pictures. I wanted to combine a couple of cooks into one post.

I smoked a couple of racks of chicken thighs in the drum awhile back, and have been using the meat for different meals.

Had to try one...

separated the skin and meat...

fried the smoked skin til crisp...

shredded and bagged the meat for the freezer..

First meal, smoked chicken pizza with Carolina Treet sauce and crisp chicken skins on top.

blistered, steamed, peeled and seeded some chiles..

made my relleno batter...

and the smoked chicken, cheese, scallion filling...

stuffed and ready to dip and fry...

served with my sauce... sauteed scallions, garlic, tomato sauce, chicken stock, mexican oregano, salt pepper, I think that's about all.

Stuffed rellenos are one of my favorites. The smoked chicken and cheese were pretty tasty. The filling was hot and gooey. Kind of a comfort meal for me.

Again, sorry for so many pics! Thanks for looking!

Those rellenos look incredible Jeanie!

Thanks Bob! I make them fairly often. I think beef cheek meat with cheese is my favorite filling so far.
Hope you had a great weekend! :grin:

Thanks for this post, Jeanie! Love the big thigh smoke idea. You've got meat for many meals there.

Goodness gracious, that looks incredible. It has been SO long since I've had a good chile relleno. Last time I tried was when I was on vacation in South Texas and the restaurant served me an obviously pre-frozen one. :sad::-o Seeing these pictures of elite-level rellenos makes that experience all the more painful by comparison.
