CHOOSING MEAT  PREPARATION TEMP
PROTIENS
BEEF Classic BBQ meat includes many fatty cuts that smoke wonderfully. Trim off excess fat and rub it with your favourite Smokey Q rubs.  
LAMB Lamb shoulder and leg are excellent choices for smoking. Trim off excess fat and rub them with your favourite Smokey Q rubs. 43-45°C
PORK Great cuts include ribs, shoulder, and Boston butt. Trim off excess fat and rub them with your favourite Smokey Q rubs. 60°C
CHICKEN Whole birds, wings, and legs smoke well, or you can cook them hot and fast. Brining whole birds is a great option, but I prefer cooking chickens quickly to render the skin crunchy. 60-65°C
SEAFOOD Quick and easy options include whole fish, grilled prawns, or octopus. Season and cook directly or smoke them. 65-70°C
GAME MEAT Though very lean, a leg of venison smokes well. Trim off excess fat and rub it with your favourite Smokey Q rubs.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger - SmokeyQ

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger

They really are SO GOOD!  Our Southern Fried chicken burgers that are crunchy, crispy, and properly seasoned and packed with BIG flavours.

They are versatile; you may make them plain or fancy as you choose. You can simply customise them to use your favourite salads and sides in place of the straightforward filling that I choose, which is crisp lettuce and tangy coleslaw. That crispy chicken is the main attraction!
Buttermilk seasoned with our Chipotle & Chicken Rub marinating the chicken for an entire night makes for incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful results when pan-frying the chicken.

They are quite straightforward, and preparation is a breeze. The chicken is prepared ahead of time and marinated overnight in the refrigerator. Any salad can be cut, then refrigerated. The chicken coating can also be prepared beforehand.

So delicious and seriously loaded with flavour, these crispy chicken burgers are the ultimate dinner for fried chicken lovers! Ultra-crispy chicken fillets are sandwiched between soft burger buns with crunchy lettuce, mayo and tangy homemade guacamole. Way better than takeaway and so easy to make!

And for extra food porn Try the chicken on a waffle with some honey bacon rubbed popcorn then drizzled with our Cold smoked honey mmmmmm
