underground cooking..
Hey anyone want to experiment.Although it's time consuming but well worth it.(IMO).Thats why when I do it I go BIG..
Lets start small. A whole Chicken times 2.. (1 1/2 hrs. to cook)
Ya need wood,chicken wire,Burlap bag times 2(soak overnite)
and Cabbage times 3 or 4 heads.Ya need some rocks...
(preferrably with lots of small holes around it)
Solid river rock wont work,,it has to have holes so it wont like kinda explode due to the moisture in it.It breaks apart and it doesn't hold the heat as well.Dig a hole somewhere in your front yard;)(kidding) Away from the front yard.2 by 2 by 2 deep..
Fill the hole(heaping) with wood and burn it and keep burning wood and lay the rocks on top of the wood(the object is to get these rocks as hot as you can (when ya see red in these rocks there HOT enough to cook the chicken).let the fire burn down to about half way in the hole with the rocks on top.(2 layers Rocks)
Prepare your chicken wire.Lay it flat while placing a layer of cabbage on it about 3 inches thick..Place your chicken on it and wrap it with the wire and the cabbage so the cabbage will cover the chicken. The reason for the cabbage is it's a protective layer and it holds alot of water to keep the chicken moist when done.
Place the wrapped chicken on the hot rocks and then place the wet burlap over the hole.(Burlaps to screen out dirt).cross ways.
Cover it with dirt completely.If there's smoke coming out anywhere that means there's air in there..cover the smoke with more dirt..(where there's air there's fire.)Ya dont want that..Your actually steam cooking under ground.)
After an 1 1/2 hrs.
Uncover it and take it out,,, The meat will just melt off the bone.
There's is no dryness anywhere in whatever ya cook.
You can even throw some corn and potatoes wrapped in foil in there too and it wont burn.
I cooked a 100 lb. pig that took eight hours..a hind 1/4 for 3 hours.A roast for 1 1/2 hrs. It depends on how hot ya get those Rocks.Thats why i said to start small...When ya uncover anything that you cook this way the meat will be juicy and just melt in your mouth.You could just shake the wire and the meat will just fall off the bone.
Im hungry now
See Ya.
