On the Big Green Egg, this Spicy Swamp Venom Blackened w/ Bayou-ish Juicy Chicken is cooked to perfection and makes a fantastic supper every time. This is the recipe for you if you prefer your meals to be spicy.

As stated by Dizzy Pig, the Swamp Venom delivers a punch in the mouth with lingering heat and a complex flavor profile that will satisfy any Egghead. It gets it influences from the south and is excellent on chicken among other things like Beef, Shrimp & Pork.

While this dish is delicious with only Swamp Venom, I’ve added some Bayou-style blackening spice to take it up a notch. This spice is likewise made by Dizzy Pig and has a stronger taste profile, making it suitable for use on its own.

Ingredients

  • Breasts of chicken (trimmed)

Dizzy Pigs Bayou-ish Blackening Seasoning goes well with Swamp Venom. Simply turn the chicken over and do the same thing on the other side. After that, place the chicken straight on the grate and insert a probe inside them to keep an eye on them.

Which woods go well with chicken to enhance the flavor?

Fruit woods, such as Apple, Peach, or Cherry, are ideal for pairing with chicken. I like to use Apple wood while cooking chicken since it seems to be more readily accessible in shops around me. It has a gentle sweet and fruity taste that pairs well with chicken, as well as beef and pork.

When smoking chicken on the Big Green Egg, another nice wood to use is maple. This also gives the meat a sweet taste. It may also be used to cook other meats including as pork, ham, and even seafood.
