Fried Smoked ABT’s

Fried Smoked ABT’s

As if ABT’s could not get any better, I introduce to you the best of all worlds; deep fried ABT’s. We start with a standard building of an ABT: Jalapeno Peppers stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar cheese and cheddar lit’l smokies sausage wrapped in thick bacon and then deep fried in a pepper batter.

2 oz. Graded Cheddar Cheese
1 ea. Egg
8 oz. Creamed Cheese
1 tbspn. Black Pepper
Cheddar lit’l Smokies (1 per pepper)
Bacon (1 slice per pepper)
1 cup All Purpose Flour
Salt (to taste)


Slice the jalapeno in half and remove the seeds and the vain (this is where the heat is).
Mix the soften chreem cheese with any rub (optional) you may have a stuff one side of the sperated pepper.
Placea small amount of the cheddar chees in the other half as well as (1) smoked sausage.
Place both halfs together and wrap in (1) piece ofthick bacon.
Once the ABT is wrapped, skewer the entire ABT with a tooth pick to inside it hold together while smoking.
Place in a preheated smoker set at 225 degrees for (2) hours.




Approximately (1) hour before the ABT’s are done, fire up a small grill and place your cast iron Dutch oven over the fire. Fill the oven with oil (approximately ½ way).
You will want to heat the oil to 325 degrees. I used my knock off Smokey Joe to heat my oil.



When done, remove the ABT’s from the smoker and skewer the center of the ABT with a bamboo skewer. At this time, keep the toothpicks in the ABT to help keep it together while frying.





Roll the cooked ABT in the batter mixture; making sure that completely cover the entire pepper.
The batter mixture consists of 1 cup of flour, 1 tbspn. of black pepper, salt to taste, 1 egg, and enough water to give the batter a pancake consistency.




Place the covered ABT in the hot oil and cook until golden brown.




Once the ABT is finished, place on a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Make sure to remove the toothpick at this time.





As you can see, the thick bacon, sausage, and three types of cheese are greatly enhanced by the crunchy outside and the jalapeno center.

That's what was missing! A trip to the Deep Fryer!

That should have it's name changed from Atomic Buffalo Turd to Artery Busting Torpedo.

I'll just have to try it out.

Just be sure to keep the paddles close by when kickin back a plate of these babies..

You'd get a better batter if you added some baking soda and beer to the batter. It would puff up and give a real nice texture to the batter... Not to mention taste better with the beer.

hmm... you got me thinking of different types of batter now...I think a fluffy, crispy tempura may be an awesome one too- or egg batter with seasoned panko breading.

(note to self: buy Fry Daddy- soon! never replaced the one I turned on to heat up with the plastic cover still on it...

Oddthomas...Your thoughts come to life right here!

try putting a shrimp instead of a smokey.

[stetch]

at some point these cardiac bombs will hit critical mass on the unhealthy scale. deep frying may just be that final kicker.

gotta hate how all the good food is bad for you.

[bruskee]

I almost passed out ...


Nice, that's got to be fantastic...

This was my first try so I know that a different batter would be better.

You sir, have lost your mind. Most mortals might ask them selves How could it get any better than ABTs on a smoker?", and then you go out and do something like this.

Well done sir. I will now look at my lowly smoked ABTs from now on, knowing that Alien has raised the bar to a level that I may not ever crest.

The phrase "gilding a lilly" comes to mind.

Wow! This is sort of what I had in mind when I commented here. Did you already have this worked out?

The batter I had in mind would be something like:

1 egg
1 cup buttermilk or maybe 3/4 regular whole milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Other possible flavors:
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder

If you wanted a more corndog like batter, you could try 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal. You could also try 3/4 cup of room temperature beer instead of the buttermilk.
