The revenge of the food truck that ate la (the feast of the chicken)
Chicken second courses
My previous taco recipe called for beef. But I did want to begin to work poultry into the “feast”. Here we have food truck barbecue chicken tacos with kimchi. They are delicious. The chicken portion of the recipe is closely adapted from The Kimchi Chronicles by Marja Vongerichten. The recipe works so well that I only gave it a couple of small tweaks. From that foundation we move on to serious tacos. You will need to use real hardwood charcoal and if possible wood chips (cherry being great) for your fuel. My recipe calls for chicken thighs. Cook more than you will need for the tacos and enjoy some thighs while they await the following day’s meal. <br />For grilling, bank your wood coals up to one side. Soak the (cherry) wood chips in water for about an hour and place those on top of your hot coals---the smoke will really crank up. And this is a hot smoke recipe. Keep your chicken thighs away from the space directly over the coals. You will need to do this in batches occasionally adding more coals and chips. The thighs will be done when they hit 160F measured by an instant read.
