Posted on: October 5th, 2015 by admin No Comments

 

Serves 8

 

8oz fresh sliced mushrooms

2 tbsp melted butter

6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts

½ cup flour

¾ cup Marsala wine

½ cup chicken broth (low sodium if you have it)

½ cup SCS Blueberry Yankee Rub

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

2 chopped green onions

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

 

Cook the mushrooms in 2 tbsp butter in  a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Stirring frequently. (3-5 minutes or until tender) Set these aside for later.

 

Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and pound flat to approx. 1/8 inch thickness.

 

Dredge chicken in the flour then cook chicken over medium heat in 2 tbsp butter for 3-4 on each side (until golden) using the same skillet you just cooked the mushrooms in (do this in batches to ensure even cooking).

 

Lightly grease a 13×9 baking dish and place all cooked chicken into the baking dish (it’s okay to overlap the chicken slightly during this step) and evenly distribute your cooked mushrooms over the top of the chicken. BE SURE to reserve the pan drippings!!

 

Add the Marsala Wine, the chicken broth and the SCS Blueberry Rub to the same skillet with all the drippings, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes(stir frequently). Pour sauce over chicken. Combine your cheeses and chopped green onions and sprinkle even over the chicken and mushrooms.

 

Bake uncovered at 450 degrees for about 13 minutes (until cheese is completely melted and starting to brown.

 

ENJOY!!!

Yankee Egg Sandwich

Posted on: March 8th, 2015 by admin No Comments

We love egg sandwiches in this house. Either on toast or bagels.
Easy fast and good!
Start frying up your eggs in a pan, but instead of using salt and pepper sprinkle your favorite Yankee rub on your eggs.
You can break the yolks or not…flip over, take off the heat…add cheese and onions if you like.
Toast up a real good bread or bagel.
How’s that for something different

Smoked Turkey

Posted on: February 19th, 2015 by admin No Comments

OK…you want a kick butt Turkey recipe, well here you go! This requires a bunch of work but it’s worth it and your family will want it over and over again.

Brine (Alton Brown’s for Turkey)

1 cup Kosher salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 gallon of Veggie stock

1 tlbs Black pepper corns

1 1/2 tps All spice berries

1 1/2 tps candied ginger …chopped

Bring to boil and let simmer after boil, and let sit to room temp

you will need 1 gallon heavily iced water for later

Aromatics

1-2 sweet onions cut into pieces

1-2 apples cut into pieces

1-2 oranges cut into pieces

celery stalks chopped

 

Rub

Yankee Savory

 

Extra ingrediants

sprigs of rosemary and sage

you will need to mix minced garlic and butter together

 

If it’s a fresh turkey make sure you wash out top to bottom and even inside with warm water…take out the gizzards, pat dry

Put turkey in a clean container and add room temp brine and cover with iced water and ice. Let sit over night.

 

OK..we are ready to go! Set your grill for an indirect smoke or set up your smoker…have apple chunks  soaking for a half and hour.

Take turkey out of the brine and pat dry. Put into a med. sized pan ..it will create au jux!

Carefully separate the skin and the breast meat…take a handful of garlic butter and rub between meat and skin…don’t break the skin.After you got as much garlic butter into the breast meat, put sprigs of rosemary and sage in with the butter

Take aromatics and place inside the cavity. you don’t have to take the shin or peels off

Then rub olive oil all over the bird completely…and add a bunch of Yankee Savory until bird is covered.

Then your good…start to smoke your bird….keeping the temp at 250’…and every half and hour spritz with apple juice.

Now if your in a hurry you can smoke for 3 hours and finish the bird in your oven at 350′ until internal temp is 165′ in the deepest part of the bird.

A 30lb turkey took me 7-8 hours on my smoker…just an FYI

Depending on the size of the bird, will depend how long the cook will take…remember you only need 3 hours to smoke…the rest is just cooking

if you have any questions don’t hesitate to use the Help Center at support@sweetcarolswinebbq.com

Enjoy

OBTW….the soup this makes…OMG!!!!

Beer Can Chicken

Posted on: February 10th, 2015 by admin No Comments

Easy and fun way to Grill or smoke a full roaster Chicken

1 can of beer (darker the better)

1 beer can chicken holder

olive oil

1 apple

1 small onion

1 small orange

Yankee Savory (chefs Recommendation)

1 5-6 lb full roaster chicken

Beer can chicken holders can be bought at your hard wear store, grilling store or similar. Start your grill for an indirect smoke and shoot for 250′. You may want to add some cherry wood chucks or apple for more flavor, so have them soaking in water for about 30 mins.

Spray beer can chicken holder with cooking oil. Take the beer and DRINK 1/2 of it(nothing goes to waste) take the tab off and poke holes around the top with a screw driver or similar to add more holes to the beer can top. Place beer can in holder. Place chicken, butt over the can, cut up into pieces the apple and oranges and onion and put into cavity of the chicken.

Rub a little olive oil on the entire chicken and sprinkle Yankee Rub all over the chicken.

Place entire chicken and holder and all over the section of your grill where there is no coals. You can also place an aluminum pan full of water in that spot if you choose too. This will create steam and help you cook. Don’t worry the coals won’t effect the pan…just use a disposable one anyways. Don’t forget to add your wood chunks, if you choose for an additional smoke flavor.

You’ll keep your temp at 250 and spritz the bird every 1/2 hour with apple juice to keep the skin moist and tender(The best part)

In about 3-4 hours or when the internal temp of the bird reaches 165′ you are done….let rest for about 5 mins. and ENJOY the best chicken you’ll ever have.

Don’t eat the fruit…they were just for aromatics and help the bird cook from the inside along with the beer!

 

Grilled Wings

Posted on: February 9th, 2015 by admin No Comments

A wonderful and easy way to grill wings. Purchase your favorite wings and cuts. Put in a bowl your favorite Yankee Rub, chef’s Special Yankee Peach or Blueberry, and roll the wings and cover the entire wing. Set your grill for a direct grill. Clean grate and coat with oil. Place grate on the grill and get the grate nice and hot. Place wings on hot grate. Try and control the flare ups, but a little char on the wings aren’t terrible either, and cook wings for about 10-15 mins. or until 165′ internal temp.

Perfect to bring to the games for tailgating
