INGREDIENTS:
• 4 cups cubed, smoked chicken meat
• 1 cup homemade baconaise or organic mayonnaise
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
• Ground black pepper to taste
Optional:
• Sliced hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup chopped celery
• ½ cup minced green pepper
• 8 protein buns
DIRECTIONS:
1. Clean and cut the chicken into thighs, breasts, and wings. Place soaked wood chips in the bottom of your smoker, and place the chicken on the racks. Smoke (outside) for 3 to 4 hours, depending on the manufacturer’s directions. At this point, you still want to finish cooking it in a preheated oven at 250 degrees F for 30 minutes or until deep golden.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together mayonnaise, paprika, and salt. Blend in onion and nuts (and other additions that you prefer, like celery or green pepper). Add chopped poultry and mix well. Season with black pepper, to taste. Add sliced, hard-boiled eggs if desired.
3. Chill for 1 hour. Use protein buns for sandwiches.
Makes 8 servings.
