I'm posting this a little early as I have been looking everywhere for a football appetizer using sourdough (SF) and BBQ (KC). There really isn't a lot out there and I thought this is so simple perhaps others are also looking for something easy and tasty while watching the commercials.
This will be a 2 part post showing the goal and what I've learned getting here and part 2 smoking a butt and the finished product.
I started out I wanted a football shaped pastie made with sourdough and bbq so wanted to do some experimenting before I put it in front of guests.
Nothing special here other than I had a chicken thigh I pulled and soused with some Sweet Baby Ray bbq sauce to see if I was going down the right path. I have a big crock of sourdough so rolled it out to 1/4" and cut it into football shapes. I put a spoonful of chicken in it, sealed the edges and put some vents in it in the shape of laces. Then put an egg wash on it and put it in the oven for 12 minutes. These are about 3" long for reference so quite small.
They look great, and trying one out I found they were too much SanFran, and needed a lot more BBQ, but I can't get more bbq and seal the edges at the same time. A big dud.
Round 2 was open face with cheddar and mozzarella acting as the laces.
They're crazy goos and you can see the mozzarella kept the lace shape better than the cheddar. I'm out of chicken so am done experimenting for the day, but am starting a butt in the morning. I will be updating this post, but I wanted to share where I'm at because it's a spin on a traditional slider that's quite fitting the two teams.
