I smoked a bunch of chicken thighs rubbed with DDog’s “Apple Rub.” After the thighs cooled I removed the skin and pulled the meat off the bones. I then used the food processor to chop the chicken meat into a really fine consistancy.

Threw some neufchatel cheese into a bowl:

Added some onion and a good dose of additional “Apple Rub”

After adding the smoked chicken and mixing very throughly I put the mixture into a mold and let it set. There is also mayo, lemon juice and some tabasco added.

When it was time to serve the “pate” was unmolded and sprinked with a little more “Apple Rub” and then drizzled with “Blue Hog” sauce.

This nice little appetizer was simply fantastic.  Give it a try.
