Chickens in the smoker
« on: August 19, 2019, 11:51:22 PM »
HyVee (Midwest grocery chain) has whole chickens on sale for .99 a #.

Picked up 2 after work, fired the smoker up, did a brown sugar bourbon rub, smoked with hickory for 3 hours. Rested for 45 minutes, this is the next several days meals.

Sounds great.
I like chickens in the 4-5 pound range for pit barrel cooking but they keep testing bigger and bigger and it gets harder to find the smaller ones. I’m a fan of cowboy Kent Rollins and his recommendation to always pre baste in the fridge with lime for beef and pork and use lemon on fish or fowl to help tenderize.
I rub all over with avocado oil before applying the dry rub.
Hickory is also my smoke of voice for chicken.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

I'm throwing a chicken on the Weber tomorrow. Going to run the snake with some chunks of hardwood. Probably apple.

Didn't do the snake. Just used the side baskets.

Turned out great.

My thumb and index finger, not so great when I got them up against the grate... Ouch.
