Smothered Bbq Chicken On Texas Toast Recipes

SUNNY'S BBQ BUFFALO CHICKEN ON TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• For the toast: In a large pan on medium heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the toast, soaking up a bit of the butter on one side, then flipping it to the other side to soak up the rest. Toast on one side until a peek beneath reveals a golden toasty color, then flip and toast the other side as well. Remove the toast to a plate.
• For the sauce: In the same pan, add the butter, onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the ketchup, brown sugar, chicken stock, beer, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, chile flakes and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the sugar is completely dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the chicken to the sauce and stir to coat and re-heat. Spoon over the toast and serve.

TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Mix together the butter and garlic in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and place on the grill. Grill the bread for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly golden brown.

GRIDDLED TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Warm a griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Then add 1 tablespoon butter until warmed. Next, add the bread in batches to the griddle and allow to brown or crisp on the first side, 1 to 2 minutes. After browning, flip the bread and repeat the process on the second side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove after browning and serve.

TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Brush 1 side of each bread slice with olive oil. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add bread, oiled side down, to skillet and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

SMOKED, SPICE RUBBED, TEXAS-STYLE BRISKET ON TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Mix together all the spices in a bowl. Liberally rub the entire brisket with the spices, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator 1 hour before beginning the smoking process to take the chill off, and remove the plastic wrap.
• Get your smoker running at 225 degrees F with hardwood charcoal and a few handfuls of soaked wood chips. This temperature should be maintained throughout the entire smoke. (If you are using a grill: Set up the grill for indirect heat, banking the coals on one side of the grill and scattering the wood chips on top. Maintain the temperature at 225 degrees throughout the smoking process, adding chips as necessary, until you wrap the brisket in foil.)
• Place the brisket fat-side up on your smoker grate and close it up for the long smoke.
• Open your barbecue smoker every hour or 2 and spray the brisket liberally with apple juice to help keep the meat from drying out. Also keep apple juice in the water pan if you are using a water smoker.
• When the internal temperature reaches 165 to 170 degrees, after about 4 hours, wrap the brisket in aluminum foil and continue to cook for another 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. This little trick is a big help in getting the meat tender, especially for beginners. Figure that a brisket smoked at around 200 degrees will take about 1 1/2 hours per pound. The brisket is done when the internal temperature reaches 185 degrees F. Remove and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Remove the foil from the brisket over a large pan or disposable pan and reserve the liquid. Cut off the brisket points and reserve for another use (such as Honey-Rum Pinto Beans with Burnt Ends). After the points are removed, look to see which way the grain runs and slice thinly across the grain. Smear some barbecue sauce on Grilled Texas Toast, top with brisket and Pickled Red Onions.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high. Heat the oil in a small saute pan and cook the garlic for 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides. Remove from the grill and spread 1 side of each slice with some of the garlic butter.
• Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan and cook until the sugar and salt dissolves, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool for 10 minutes. Add the onions and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

SMOTHERED CHICKEN

• Stir gravy and sherry into vegetables. Add chicken to skillet; spoon sauce over chicken.
