Couldn't help but share it
« on: August 24, 2016, 11:46:58 AM »
I was cooking a chicken just to pull and have for dinners for the rest of the week. Ran this bird at 375 for an hour with a chunk of apple and a chunk of pear. Popped the lid off to check it at the hour mark, and had to get the phone to snap this pic. I pulled it at 175ish. Might be the best skin I've gotten so far.

Have a good one fella's!

Looks damn good over here in Canada dude. Lump or briquettes? Consistently crispy skin on chicken is something that has eluded me.

Kbb, Hoss. I don't get the crispness skin either normally. I wonder if the wood choices helped the color along with the higher temp. I normally cook a bird at that range but don't get it like that

It may have been the pear wood which gave you the darker skin. I know for a fact that cherry will give a darker skin as well. I use apple quite often for poultry and it doesn't darken the skin like that. Nice looking yard pimp!

That looks great!  I would have guessed that you used cherry.  Sounds like I need to pickup a bag of pear!

That was all indirect heat. No flip, no flop.
