The cooking process includes several stages:

1. If the recipe uses a whole chicken carcass, then the first thing you need to do is cut it and lay it out in a “book”. It is imperative to cut off excess skin in the neck area and fat around the tail.
2. To prepare the brine, you will need to add salt, spices, and crushed peeled garlic to the water. Next, the liquid is boiled for 2-3 minutes and turned off.
3. Afterwards, you need to cool the brine and dip the chicken carcass into it. All meat should be completely covered with liquid. You can use a weight for this.
4. The bird will be in the brine for 25 hours. During this time it should remain cool.

5. Next, the chicken needs to be rinsed with clean water and dried. It is convenient to use paper towels and a hairdryer in cold air mode for this.
6. At the next stage, you will need to pour about 1 handful of alder sawdust into the smokehouse. And at the bottom of the structure - install a tray covered with foil, designed to drain fat.
7. A chicken carcass or its individual pieces are placed on top of the grill. In this case, the parts should not touch each other.
8. Then you will need to close the lid of the smokehouse.

We put the smokehouse on maximum heat, after 10 minutes we reduce the heat to moderate. The total smoking time for chicken is 30-40 minutes.

In the oven

Smoked chicken can be cooked without a smoker at home using a regular oven. The result will be very similar to store-bought. The taste of the treat is reminiscent of pastrami and boiled pork. A factory-made treat made from this recipe is usually sold under the name “smoked chicken.”

What ingredients will you need?

• chicken carcass – 1 pc. (about 1.5-1.7 kg);
• sugar and spices for chicken - 1 tsp each;
• salt – ½ tbsp. l.;

3. To flatten the chicken into halves, they should be sandwiched between the boards. Then the bird will smoke evenly.
4. To prepare the marinade, you will need to pour all the water specified in the recipe into the pan. All sweet and salty crystals are dissolved in it, citric acid, grated peeled garlic, and bay leaf are also added. Black peppercorns are perfect for this dish. 8-10 pieces will be enough. As additional spices, you can take rosemary, cloves, cumin, and whole juniper berries.
5. When the marinade begins to actively boil, you need to leave it on the stove for another 1 minute, after which remove the pan from the stove and cool.
6. At the next stage, the chicken is placed in a container of suitable size and filled with cooled marinade. It is necessary to attach something heavy to the bird. For example, a pot of water. The bird must be completely covered in brine.
7. The chicken will marinate in a cool place. Be sure to turn it over a couple of times during the process.
8. After 50 hours, the bird should be thoroughly washed and dried with paper towels.
9. Next, you can proceed to heat treatment. This can be done in the oven in 2 ways. The first involves baking the carcass at 170° for approximately 45-50 minutes. The second is baking at 80° for 3-3.5 hours.
10. At the very end of baking (regardless of the chosen method), you will need to turn on the top grill for 3-5 minutes to get a golden crispy crust on the dish.

It is best to taste the bird chilled. First, it should spend about a day in the refrigerator.

What to serve chicken with: side dish and sauce

The finished marinated chicken is dense and flavorful. It does not disintegrate into fibers. You can cut it into portions and serve with pieces of toasted bread. The version of chicken that was baked at a low temperature turns out slightly softer and more tender. The same recipe can be used to cook poultry over coals or in a smokehouse. Then, as it dries, you will need to coat the chicken parts with brine.

Smoked chicken salad - recipe with photos, very tasty

How to cook it

1. You can use a culinary mold - a ring or a square one like mine.
   It makes it easy to lay out in layers. For the puff version, you can also use a bowl of a suitable size and make the layers in the reverse order, so that you can then turn the bowl upside down. You can simply serve it in a regular salad bowl. The choice is yours. Each layer must be lightly compacted so that the dish holds its shape better. We salt twice: after the cucumbers and the egg white. There are also two layers of mayonnaise, that's enough.
2. Separate the meat from the bones, the skin can be removed or left (I removed it). Cut into pieces.
3. Place the form on a flat plate. Place chicken on the bottom.
4. Cut a medium-sized onion into small cubes. Place it on the chicken.
5. Coat with mayonnaise.
6. Place the diced cucumber in the next layer. I had an oops here, I forgot to take a picture of this layer.
7. Any mushrooms will do.
   The main thing is that they are marinated. I have champignons. The size was quite small, so I cut them into arbitrary pieces.
8. Coat with mayonnaise again.
9. Boil the eggs hard in advance. Cut in half, remove the yolks and set aside for now. Finely chop the whites with a knife and place in the salad.
10. Three yolks on a fine grater and sprinkle them on top.

Victoria S.

Ingredients:

• smoked chicken – 100g;
• Korean carrots – 100g (or 1 fresh carrot + 1 onion + spices);
• canned corn – 3-4 tbsp;
• eggs – 2 pcs;
• potatoes – 1 piece;
• sunflower oil –100ml;
• mayonnaise.
• salt.

How to prepare “Sail” salad

1. Of course, you can buy Korean carrots ready-made. However, I don’t really trust semi-finished products (or rather, I don’t trust them at all), so I prefer to make it myself, especially since it’s not difficult to prepare. To do this, grate the carrots into strips. Place in a cup, add 1/4 tsp. salt and press lightly with your hands. This is necessary to make the carrots softer.
2. Chop the onion finely.
3. Pour oil into the pan, leaving 2 tbsp. for potatoes. Heat and fry the onion. Fry it well until brown. We won’t need it later; we need it to give all its taste to the oil.
4. Add 0.5 tsp to the carrots.
   spices from the set “for Korean carrots”. Pour hot oil through a strainer. This way the onions will remain in the sieve, and the oil will scald the carrots. Now it needs to be cooled. During cooling, the carrots will be saturated and can be used for our purposes.
5. Let's move on to making potato strips (if you have chips, skip this step). Peel the potatoes and grate them on the same grater as the carrots to get sticks.
6. Then rinse under running water to remove excess starch.
7. Place on paper towels and dry.
8. Pour the remaining oil into the frying pan. Heat it up and add straws. Stirring frequently to prevent sticking, fry until crispy.
9. We take it out again onto towels, this time to remove excess oil. And add a pinch of salt.
10. When the carrots and potatoes have cooled, cut the chicken into smaller pieces. Place on a flat plate in one layer.
11. Lubricate with mayonnaise.
12. Place carrots on top.
13. The next layer is corn.
14. And again mayonnaise.
15. Grate the hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle them on the salad.
16. Sprinkle everything on top with crispy potato strips.
17. And I made a sail for it from a napkin and a wooden skewer.

Victoria S.

Recipe

1. First cut the chicken fillet into circles. Then with straws.
2. We take out a flat dish and place the chopped fillet on it.
3. Cut the boiled eggs into semicircles.
4. And lay them out in the next layer. Pour sour cream and salt on top.
5. Peel fresh cucumbers and cut into rings.
   You can also use peeled cucumbers if you are confident in their quality. It’s just that without the peel the salad tastes softer.
6. Add cucumbers to the dish. Cut the cheese into cubes and place on top of the cucumbers.
7. Finely chop the greens and sprinkle them on the salad.
   Depending on your preferences, you can add more sour cream. Don't skimp on the greens either. As a result, you will prepare a fresh and nutritious dish!

If there are remains of entrails and bruises inside the carcass, they are carefully removed and the bird is washed with cold water from the outside and inside, after which the water is allowed to drain. Dry it.

Rinsing the chicken

The chicken can be smoked whole or cut in half along the breastbone and unfolded like a book. You can also divide the carcass into 2 halves by cutting the breast bone and removing the spine. The outer part of the wings - the wrist - is removed so that they do not burn during smoking.
