  • So I have these 4 inch, fibrous 20 inch casings that I was trying to figure out what I am gonna do with them.  It dawned on me that Kristin likes this Hillshire Farms chicken sandwich meats.  Pays anywhere from $3.50-$5.00/lb. for it.  You all know me!  Chicken parts is about 1/2 to 1/3 that price!  So, here we go!

    2268g of Chicken.
    1134g of breast and thighs.
    150g of thighs skin.
    23g Kosher Salt. (1%)
    12g Garlic powder. (0.5%)
    12g Onion powder. (0.5%)
    181g of Filtered water. (8%)
    8g Trisodium Phosphate.
    5g Cure#1.
    2g Sodium Erythorbate.

    One grind through 3mm plate, mix ingredients, sit refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Stuff in casing.  Cook in 190° water bath till 155° internal temperature.

    Will have to flip, how many times is anyone guess.

  • To much Garlic & Onion powder for Kristin, but I love it!  I have the other half of the breasts and thighs, so will make her new one.  Will coarse grind it and see if that makes a difference in texture! About 5 slices for a 1/4lb sandwich!

  • Looks like it came out pretty good.  Nicely done with the hand stuffing.
    I'm with Kristin, if I can taste garlic, it's too much.

  • I used the stuffer to pipe it!  Would not have the patience to hand stuff!

  • Ah, when you said non-mechanical I thought you meant hand stuffing.
