Bucket List Recipes

So many recipes so little time

As I surf the BBQ Websites I find what I like to call my bucket list recipes.  I use to save these recipes to pinterest and sometimes I still do but some of them are so good I want to place them in my Blog also.  They will always state that they are a buck list recipe,  As with any bucket list I hope I never get to all of them but its fun to dream.

Chicken Quarters From Traeger - Recipe

Chicken Quarters from Traeger

Chicken Quarters on The Traeger

At our local supermarket they have a smoker in there parking lot.  They sell things like smoked ribs, chicken legs, chicken quarters and salmon. They call it Bob's BBQ.  Before I bought my Traeger I would from buy my BBQ there and it tasted pretty good

  

Recently they started selling uncooked Bob's BBQ  Seasoned food in there meat Dept. We scored 2 2 packages of Bobs Seasoned  chicken Quarters at 79 cents a Pound.  I will use the procedure from the Traeger website to cook them. Except I won't prep them since they are already prepped. Traeger on.

Please Note:

Any recipe I make is just a guideline.  I am not a big fan of gooey sauces so almost everything is I cook would be a dry rub.  You of course should experiment and see what works best for you.  I don't often recommend a rub because it is a matter of personnel taste.  These recipe would also work well on most other pellet grills or charcoal and gas grill using indirect heat for the low temperature recipes.

Smoked Bone In Turkey Breast and Chuck Roast - Combination

When I cook on my Traeger especially if I am going to do a long cook, I like to use as much real estate as possible.  I often cook multiplies of the same item and eat leftover all week or freeze for leftovers.  Sometimes you just hit upon combinations that just work well together.  In this cook I smoked a Bone in Turkey Breast and Chuck roast at the same time. They both came out really well.
