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)
