Chicken Carcass Soup

Cold and flu season is here yay! No need to worry we’ve got your back with a chicken soup recipe. This recipe uses the leftover carcass of a chicken to create a flavorful broth and a hearty soup. Once you make this soup you will never throw away an unused chicken carcass again!

Ingredients

  • 1 – 2 whole chicken carcass
  • 6 celery sticks
  • 6 carrots
  • 1 white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 6 sprigs thyme
  • 4 sprigs rosemary
  • 4 sprigs sage
  • 12 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can navy beans
  • 1/4 cup white rice

Directions

The first step is to make a broth. You can do this days in advance and store the broth in a refrigerated or a frozen jar. Or you can take a nice lazy weekend and create the broth and soup at the same time. If you choose this path we recommend that you chop all the vegetables for the broth and soup at the same time.


For the broth, rough chop 3 celery sticks, 3 carrots, 1/2 white onion, and 1 garlic clove. You can add the tops of celery with the leaves to the broth. Add 2 whole sprigs of rosemary, thyme and sage. For the soup, finely chop 3 celery sticks, 3 carrots, 1 yellow onion, and 2 garlic cloves. Chop 2 sprigs of rosemary, thyme and 2 sprigs of sage.


Feel free to experiment and add more celery, carrots and onion to both the broth and soup mixtures.


Next, add the broth veggies and the chicken carcass to a large pot or dutch oven. Include any giblets, neck, and backbone that you may have from the chicken. As a side note, it’s worth saving and freezing the backbones, necks and giblets from any whole chickens that you spatchcock and cook. No need to throw that stuff away, turn it into soup! Next submerge the chicken and veggies in water (approximately 12 cups of water). Set the burner heat on high until the contents starts to boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours stirring occasionally. Then turn off the heat and allow the broth to cool down. Using a slotted spoon, remove all chicken from the soup and place on a cutting board to cool off. Pour the liquid contents through a sieve into another pot to filter out all the vegetables from the broth liquid. Next pull the chicken meat off the bones and add it to the filtered broth liquid. Next add your soup veggies and herbs to the meat and broth mixture. Place the soup pot back on the stove and cook for 1 hour on medium low. Add the rice and navy beans and cook for another hour.

Smoked Wagyu Ribeye Steak

  By ,

Smoked Wagyu Ribeye Steak

Ready to eat like a one percenter? Try a wagyu ribeye steak and see what makes this one of the best ribeyes you will ever have. In this recipe we’re smoking then reverse searing a Snake River Farms American wagyu gold grade ribeye. It’s nice and thick which makes it perfect for smoking. And its full of marbling so it’s perfect for cooking over fire!

Ingredients

  • 1 Snake River Farms American Wagyu Gold Grade Ribeye
  • 1/4 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Print This Recipe Print This Recipe

Directions

First wash and pat dry the steak. Then rub down with a light coat of olive oil on both sides. Add salt, fresh ground black pepper, and garlic powder to both sides. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.


For this recipe we’re using a Yoder Smokers YS-480 pellet grill with BBQers Delight Mesquite pellets. Any pellet smoker or stick burner should produce the same results if you follow the temperatures in this recipe. However when it comes to the reverse sear, you will need to have a grill or a smoker that can convert to grill mode. To get started, set the smoker at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and wait for it to reach temperature. When the smoker is ready, place the steak in the center of a top rack. If you do not have a top rack, keep the steak as far away as possible from a heat source. Use a good wireless thermometer such as Thermoworks Smoke and set the finish alarm to 100F. This will take around 30 to 45 minutes for the steak to reach temp. Once it reaches 100F, pull the steak and cover with foil. Next it’s time for a reverse sear. The general idea is to cook the steak over direct fire at around 450F for 1 – 2 minutes per side. On the Yoder YS-480 we convert it to grill mode by opening the pit door and adding grill grates. Next increase the smoker temperature to 450F. This will take a few minutes to reach temperature, and while this happens the steak should stay warm under the foil tent. When the smoker reaches temp, place the steak over the direct fire and cook for 1 – 2 minutes per side. As always you cook the steak to your preferred doneness so just use our time suggestion as a guideline. When the steak is finished, let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!

Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers

  By , ,

Jalapeño Cheddar Burgers

Tired of the same old plain back yard burgers? Then turn up the heat at your next cookout with this jalapeño cheddar burger recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chuck
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 4 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 teaspoon montreal steak seasoning
  • 6 – 12 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 keiser burger buns
  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Print This Recipe Print This Recipe

Directions

First remove the seeds and dice 2 jalapeno peppers. Add the diced peppers to a large mixing bowl. Slice the remaining 2 jalapenos while leaving the seeds in. Set the jalapeno slices aside. Next, add the ground chuck and ground sirloin to the mixing bowl. Finally, add the shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning to the mixing bowl.


Mix the beef and ingredients together for about 1 minute until well mixed. Form the beef into 4 or 6 equal sized patties and place them on a cutting board. Add salt and pepper to the tops of the patties. Preheat your grill to 400 – 500 degrees and if you have any smoke chips or wood, use Mesquite.


Next melt a 1/2 stick of butter and brush the butter onto freshly sliced keiser buns. Next, add the jalapeno slices and 1/2 sick of butter to a small cast iron skillet. You can always skip this step and keep your jalapeno slices uncooked for that fresh crunchy effect.


When your grill is preheated, add the skillet of jalapeno slices to the grill. Next, grease the grill area and add the burger patties. Cook the burgers for 7 minutes, then flip and cook another 7 minutes. Stir the jalapeno slices and be sure to coat them with butter. Next, move the burgers to the top rack of your grill, flipping each patty once more, and cook them for another 2 to 4 minutes until they reach 160F. At this point, you may need to remove the jalapeno skillet depending on how done they look. Place 2 slices of cheddar on top of each burger. Next place the keiser buns on the grill. Allow everything to cook for another 2 minutes with the grill lid closed. Next, remove the buns and move the burger patties to the buns. Top the burgers with the jalapeno slices. For more kick add creamy horseradish sauce.
