A few weeks back I saw a value pack of bone in chicken breasts, must have been 4 lbs for $5. I jumped on that and threw it in the freezer. I then proceeded to throw the kitchen sink at it. Thawed, brined for several days in some left over rubs I had, some orange juice, apple cider vinegar. All items I had sitting around.
Then put on the smoker, which had very damp pellets and never came to temp.
Then back to the kitchen where I used leftovers to build a BBQ sauce. I'm talking everything from Heinz bbq packets, to siraccha packets, hoisan packets, and red pepper flakes (all from takeout) and vinegar + worcestershire.
As the smoker was just not at temp, i finished aggressively on the gasser for a nice crust.
The best part was ... this Frankenstein concoction turned out wonderful and my dinner (plus slaw) was probably $1.50 (and I'm generally not a cheap screw)

Great looking chicken! :clap:
That's how recipes are created. Throw a bunch of things together and if it's good, write it down and share.

A fine example of cheap screwyness!

You beat me to it Bent. Seriously, that's how great things happen. There could be bad news if this concoction isn't repeatable.
Just love picks like these that make one salivate.

I do you technique with rubs usually, just go through the cupboard and pull them all out. 1/4 or less in a bottle gets dumped in a large mixing bowl. I get some really good seasoning, but definitely limited engagement rubs.
Chicken looks great. Slaw does also but I lean towards the white dressing more.
