Pickle brined smoked grouse breast.
« on: October 10, 2022, 11:20:01 AM »
I brined two grouse breasts whole in leftover pickle brine over night. Rubbed em in olive oil and used a Spiceology Mediterranean spice rub mix all over. Then put in the Pit Barrel Smoker @ 250 until they reached 145. Coated them in a mustard based BBQ sauce and cooked until the glaze was sticky. My sous chef pictured as well 😂

Haha, he's usually more stern when he's wearing the Hulk pajamas.

Thanks everyone, I was very happy with the way they turned out. I think the brine definitely kept them from drying out like I had kind of expected in the smoker. Will try this method again in the future!
