I received some seasoning mixes from Louisiana Grills. The first one I tried was Bacon Hickory. I wanted to do something basic to get a good taste of the seasonings. So, I grilled some boneless skinless chicken thighs.
I preheated the Louisiana Grills smoker to 450 F. While it was heating, I brushed the thighs with olive oil. I gave a generous layer of the seasoning to one side of the thighs.
I put the thighs on the grill with the seasoned side up. I cooked for about 5 minutes and turned. I gave the cooked side a good layer of seasoning and cooked for about 4 more minutes.
I made sure the internal temperature was over 165 F and served the thighs with Copper Penny Carrots and some spaghetti with marinara sauce She Who Must Be Obeyed made with our home grown tomatoes.
The Verdict
This seasoning is excellent. It actually gives a nice bacon flavour and the hickory overtones enhance the grilled taste. This was great with chicken and I believe it would really rock on pork as well.
