Boneless chicken on my 'new' SS

[mike.stavlund]

I finally got around to actually cooking on my long-awaited red SS today... felt pretty good to get her going and let her do her thing. 

Tried something new-- de-boned a whole chicken, then seasoned it with salt and adobo, rolled it all up, and tied it back together for a boneless chicken roast.  Cooked like a pork loin, but was more juicy. 



Two-zone fire puts a nice color shift on this end of the kettle. 


Ooops!  A short chimney netted me more heat than I wanted.  Worked fine for searing off the skin, and I choked it back to about 350 for the roasting phase.


Mid-way through the cook.  Apple wood for smoke, and yukon golds along for the ride.


Second kettle coming up to temp.


Veggies on grill #2.  I flipped back the side grates for better heat flow and a little more elevation. 


Chicken resting.  This works kinda nice, because the white meat in the center is protected by the dark meat on the ends. 


Top shot.  I roasted the red pepper on the chimney as it was heating up. 


Veggies all done (about 20 minutes at about 400, and they still have a nice crunch to them). 


All plated and happy.

You nailed that cook Mike! It was fun seeing those two reds in action.

Nice maiden cook! It must feel so rewarding. I know how you feel about the resto. I haven't cooked on mine either since I got it.

Get 'er dirty, Lawrence!  These old kettles have a lot to teach us.
