First time cooking chicken. Made a mockery of spatchcocking by cutting down the breast side on one chicken...lol. Just cut it in half after properly removing the backbone. Screwed the other one up by cutting to far to the side of the backbone. Said screw it...Brined overnight in water, salt, pepper, garlic salt and brown sugar.
Drained and then sprinkled with Weber Canadian Chicken seasoning.
Tried red potatoes again basted with olive oil, and salt and pepper. Wrapped them in foil and put in drip pan. Even cooking for an hour and a half, they were only 170 internal temp. Had to finish in the microwave
Anyway, used the baskets, Stubbs charcoal, and a dry drip pan. Started the potatoes 15 minutes ahead of the chickens. Put a few soaked apple chips on both sides about 45 minutes in. Total cook time was about 1:20, and then I flipped them over the coals to try to crisp up the skin.
It turned out great and my wife grilled cabbage wedges with bacon on our gas grill....the chicken was so moist and tender. The family loved it.
