Smoked!

Postby Pepper Pig » Thu Jul 22, 2021 2:05 pm

I’ve received a lovely birthday present from the Weald Smokery courtesy of my sister. It’s the Smokery Deli pack.

I can’t remember ever using smoked chicken breast before. It’s huge. Any ideas please?

in hot weather like this we used to get the Moy Park whole smoked chickens, and serve with a mango salsa (this is not an original combo, it's quite well known) :yum

Mango salsa is dead easy - diced fresh mango (can get a little pack of prepared and chop finer), add lime juice, salt and a little shredded fresh chilli plus red onion and/or coriander leaf if you fancy it

How fabulous!
They sell smoked chicken breast at a posh deli near here. I enjoy it just with a good salad (the sort made up of one's favourite things!).

As others have said, in this weather I'd just have it in a salad, or perhaps a sandwich with a fairly delicate chutney or flavoured mayonnaise and a few salad leaves.

And now I have received another smokery present, this time from Emmett's in Saxmundham, Suffolk. 4 different varieties of bacon including Suffolk Black Bacon. It looks wonderful. Thanks Best Friend!!

PS, I know many things to do with bacon but thanks for the smoked chicken ideas.

We used to get smoked chicken from Poynings on the Sussex Downs when we were driving back from visiting my brother in Brighton. Waitrose used to sell it - I have no idea if they still do.

We absolutely loved it, usually with salad, nice if you mix in some fruit - that is, if you've got a sweet/salty weakness like me! Peaches, nectarines etc.

Smoked chicken in or with brown rice that has a bit of: fruit like peach, apricot or orange/mandarin, raisins, nuts like walnut, mint. Dressed rocket if leaves desired also.

Lovely gift by the way :)

A favourite salad here is lettuce, cold blanched green beans and peach in a mildly garlicky vinaigrette

A local restaurant here sometimes does a lovely starter of smoked chicken served with watercress and a fruity, nutty slaw with a mildly curried dressing.

What lovely suggestions to have with the smoked chicken breast, which I have never tried, but I used to call in at this place occasionally and I used to see them at farmers markets.

I took a smoked chx. to Rhodes, it lasted me for about 9 meals and the carcass made a terrific stock. The ckx was originally bought in France last French trip and had been in the DF a while. Tasted delicious.

Springs still do the smoked chicken - whole or breasts & duck too, plus online deliveries :thumbsup We drop in there frequently as it's a nice drive out & near work - they've stopped doing smoked eels which were wonderful :cry:

That's interesting, were there always two smokeries in the area, or did Springs emerge when the one at Poynings closed?
I certainly didn't know about its existence 30(+) odd years ago ...

Springs is the only smokery that has ever been in the area KC2 - it is in Edmonton - a tiny village ( near Poynings) where they do all their own smoking & have a twee shop on site - blink & you'd miss it. It's family-owned & been there since the early 60's.
