Savory Herbed Smoked Chicken

How many new ways can we reinvent chicken? Chicken has become a stable in the rotation of dinner choices in my house. It is low fat and filling. Spring time and the herb garden have provided a fantastic way to add flavor (and color) to the dish. We used a Green Mountain Grill Pellet smoker to add even one more layer of flavor.

Start with fresh herbs and about 2 TBSP of unsalted butter. I use the Digital kitchen scale to weigh out 25 g of fresh herbs, and the Food Chopper to chop, then mix into the melted butter in the 3 cup prep bowl. Set aside. You can use any of the following herb combinations:

  • Lemon Balm and Sage
  • Oregano, Thyme, Basil, and Rosemary
  • Rosemary and Lemon
  • Basil and Lemon
  • Mint, Lemon, and Garlic
  • Garlic, Lime, and Oregano

Tools:

  • Prep Bowls
  • Digital Scale
  • Cutting Mat
  • Mix N Scraper
  • Chef’s Knife
  • Roaster Pan

Butter the inside and outside of the chicken skin with the herbed butter. Bake in the Roaster at 350 deg for 20 min per pound.
