Part II: Apple wood smoked chicken fried rice & a cast iron deep dish cheese pie

[Zippylip]

Following last weekend’s pork fried rice of necessity, I wanted to try actually planning it out this time. Changes were chicken instead of pork, white rice instead of brown, different veggie combination which included sugar snap peas & water chestnuts, cooked the rice in chicken broth for more flavor and reduced the amount of soy sauce, added a few beaten eggs, and went with a rub rather than salt & pepper. All in all, it was pretty tasty

The featured flavor:

then onto the egg with some apple wood:

Once all this was done it went into the refrigerator for the night to be assembled for a weeknight dinner. Still had to eat on this day, so onto the other egg went a cast iron deep dish cheese pie.

I burried a nice chunk of black cherry wood into the coals & let it burn off for a good while before putting the pie on, gave a very nice hint of smoke:

For some reason the egg got away from me temp wise & I ended up cooking this at about 500-525, about 20 minutes; usually don't like going above 450 on this type of pie but it worked out, came out about the same as usual

All in all I think the pork is the tastier meat for fried rice, but the veggies & rice in this version were better so it was still good
