BBQ chicken and Grilled Potato Salad

[austin87]

My girlfriend was in the mood for some BBQ chicken and requested breasts  so I got a whole yard bird - an air chilled Rocky brand - and cut that sucker up. I'm getting pretty good at breaking down a chicken. I can start after I light the chimney and have it done before it's ready to dump.

I also followed a Bobby Flay recipe for a grilled potato salad - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/grilled-potatoes-with-mustard-garlic-dressing.html



No smoke on these guys - the legs and thighs are going in a fried rice dish tonight and my girlfriend thought smokey chicken might be a little overwhelming. Just getting cooked indirect with some Royal Oak lump.

Up close and personal



My mom made some homemade BBQ sauce last year and canned a bunch of it, so I whipped that out to paint the breasts and wings. No sauce on the legs.

While those guys were finishing up on the 22" I lit up the 18" to grill the potatoes. Old style baskets with some leftover Stubbs and a little lump.

And all plated



Next time I would cut the potatoes in quarters so they can soak up the dressing a little better. I ended up doing that before I put the leftovers away and think it will be a lot better today. Next time I might also cut the breasts off the bone so I can get sauce on all sides. Had a bowl of salad on the side. All in all a really tasty meal!

Thanks for looking.

Nice! ... I see the back on the grill.  Good show.  I just made a huge batch of chicken soup Saturday using all scraps.

Simple meals like this are always so good.  How was the potato salad?

If you hate it and don't want to use it just let me know , lol

@MacEggs the potato salad was good but next time I'd cut the potatoes in halves or quarters to soak up more dressing.

@Idahawk it keeps staring at me. I've never cooked on a daisy wheel kettle and its got me weirdly nervous. But I'll cook something on it soon just for you

Something on a Red 18" three-wheeler?
