Leave chicken in refrigerator while preparing the brine mixture. Combine brine ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and stir down any foam.

Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours. Discard brine mixture. Rinse chicken thoroughly and pat dry with paper towel.Apply dry rub between skin and meat By starting at the bottom of the front of the chicken, theskin can by gently separated from the breasts. Try not to tear the skin. For a prettier finished chicken, wipe off any dry rub on the outside of the skin, and lightly rub theskin with butter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, place in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Bring Egg to 275 degrees. In a chicken sitter, combine the beer-butt mixture ingredients. Do not overfill. Set sitter on a drip pan, and set the chicken on the sitter. Using a Polder in the thigh, cook at 250 - 275 degrees until 180 degrees internal. The breastshould be about 170 when the thigh hits 180.

7-pounder was done in a tad over 2-1/2 hours, though at home it has taken up to 4hours . I started with four small chunks of hickory and a handful of sugar maple chips, andadded another handful of sugar maple chips after about an hour and a half. I did not soak thewood first.

VENISON RECIPE

I clipped it from a ground beef recipe run in our local paper. It won honours for innovationand “kid appeal”. I used ground beef since I don’t have any hunters in the family.

Ingredients

French Fries Casserole 1 lb of ground venison or beef 1 small onion (optional - I always stick onions in ground meat) 1 can of cheddar cheese soup 1 can of cream of celery soup frozen french fries pepper

Preparations

Dice onion and mix with ground meat and pepper to taste (use *lots*).Press into the bottom of a 9x9" pan.Mix together the two cans of soup - do *not* dilute with water. Spread mixture over the

meat. Cover entire surface generously with frozen french fries.Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until done - fries should be golden and crispy.Believe it or not, this is a tasty dish! Especially for the kid in all of us!

.S. You might want to add some tabasco to the meat mixture if you like spicier food.

Ingredients

(approx. 8# roast)

1 medium carrot1 medium onion1 rib of celery1 tablespoon juniper berries1 teaspoon rosemary4 cloves garlic1/2 teaspoon thyme5 cups red wine2 cups red wine vinegar(if this is a wild roast and not from a game farm, add 1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

Combine the above and bring to a boil; take off heat and let come to room temperature.This marinade should not be hot or cold in temperature but lukewarm. Place the roast in themarinade using a container just slightly bigger than the roast; cover the roast with plastic andput a weight on top - the roast should be submerged in the marinade.

Marinate for two days in the refrigerator after two days..Drain roast for at least an hour and reserve remaining marinade for sauce Sprinkle

with fresh cracked black pepper and brown on top of stove. Roast at 350 degrees until meatthermometer reaches 115 degrees. This will be rare. Let rest 35-40 minutes and slice very thin.You can remove the vegetables from marinade and use some of it to baste the venison while itis roasting. Use the rest of it as a sauce.

Sauce:Boil marinade until reduced to one cup. In the meantime, cut 1 lb of butter into 1

tablespoon sized pieces. After the marinade is reduced, add the soft (not melted) butter a pieceat a time, wisking vigorously after each addition. If you have some currant jelly, wisk in about 1tablespoon at the very end. You will have a wonderful rich buttery sauce to serve over thevenison.

VENISON RODERICK

Ingredients

1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove minced) salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste2 lb. venison saddle or tenderloin slice 1/4 inch thick2 TBS butter or olive oil1/4 cup brandy

Preparation

Heat a heavy nonstick skillet. Rub garlic, salt and pepper over both sides of slicedvenison medallions. In a hot skillet, quickly saute venison until done to taste. Do not overcook.Remove and deglaze skillet with brandy. Serve sauce over venison.

Suggestions: serve with light salad, wild rice pilaf. This sauce is recommended forthe preceding Venison Roast, but would stand on its own merit with game. I drool just reading it.Please note it calls for anchovy fillets. If you abhor the little darlings...try to include at leastone...as it would richen the flavor of the sauce. I opt for the 4.

SAUCE FOR GAME—Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery wineRecommendation: Cabernet Sauvignon1 cup (Chateau Ste. Michelle) Sauvignon Blanc1 cup (Chateau Ste. Michelle) Cabernet Sauvignon3/4 cup red wine vinegar1/4 cup prosciutto, shredded (or lean ham/canadian bacon)3 cloves garlic, mashed1/2 lemon, peeled and sliced2 sage leaves2 sprigs rosemary4 juniper berriessalt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste2 chicken livers, finely chopped 4 anchovy fillets, finely choppedIn a NON-aluminum saucepan, combine Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and allingredients EXCEPT chicken livers and anchovy fillets.
