Yep I've noticed watery blood close to bones too but hasn't ever been an issue.Like rainrain, I like it hot - nice in a hot pasta dish.

Could you smoke your own chicken! I love it, but strongly object to paying $10 for one measley breast. Would you need to cook it first then cold smoke it! Any ideas how to do it without getting salmonella!

why would you buy a smoked chicken breast, instead of a whole chicken>

Are you trying to say you get a whole smoked chicken for $10 - while she only gets a breast for $10!

Sorry,no no,, but I have never paid over $13.00 for a whole smoked chicken, and for that you get 2 breasts, thighs, legs, and all the other bits you can pull off to make a yummy sandwich

Smoked chicken goes such a long way, I too bought the $8.99 Pak N Save Special, and the legs are the best part.

I hot smoke chickens in our gas smoker and they come out yummy, they are in the smoker for about 21/2 - 3 hours until they are cooked.

I don't usually buy a whole smoked chicken as we only use it for lunch salad sandwiches.How long would you recommend keeping a whole chook in the fridge safely!

I usally take all the meat off the bone and freeze what I don't need, whole chickens are much better value than just buying breasts imho.

holmsies, I kept the following info' from the packet of a smoked chicken 3 or 4 years ago.
"Serve as snacks with tomato or fruit salsa (peach or mango, or herbed mayo. Use in salads, pasta or pies. Make delicious sandwiches with brie cheese wedges, and stuffed avocado or cranberry sauce. Warm the chicken gently to further enhance the flavour prior to serving.
After opening the chicken should be refrigerated and can be kept for up to 1 week or the best before date as on the wrapper, whichever is sooner."
Hope that helps.:-))
