Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • spatchcock chicken
  • mustard
  • Louisiana bayou rub
Coat a spatchcocked chicken with mustard as a binder and season with the Louisiana bayou rub; cook bone side down, skin side up, without turning.
  • white boudin
Put the boudin and the precooked andouille on the pit as they are.
  • andouille sausages
  • alligator tail meat
  • bacon
  • cream cheese
Stuff chunks of cleaned alligator tail meat with cream cheese and jalapeno, season with the rub and wrap in bacon; put on the hotter part of the grill to crisp the bacon.
Bacon-wrapped alligator tail
  • jalapeno
  • mesquite
Cook over a clean mesquite fire about 45 minutes to an hour.
Cook the alligator to about 165, until the cream cheese drips out; the boudin only needs heating through to take on smoke.
