I've done sear last sometimes.....just not quite like OTP & Ed are describing......
That 1st pic up top was some thighs my buddy brought along.....he was supposed to show early with par-cooked ribs, or even raw ribs woulda been OK....shows late with a pack 'o thighs.....
I was real busy & kinda got torqued about it, so quick rinse, & dumped them on UPSIDE down to start, with a quick seasoning, on grate................
Flipped once 3/4 thru & then onto the skin over the coals for a short bit at the end......me bein' pissed off turns out real good chicken !!!!
So, skin down, then skin up, then skin over fire & crisp........not like the reverse sear masters, but it came out good......
The thing I'll do if it doesn't come out exactly perfect & get all eaten up, is make smoked chicken salad the next day.......real good !!!!
