Dinner might be a liitle late

[HankB]

I was supposed to meet someone for lunch at 1:00 PM but that got pushed back to 2:00 PM. And whereas I should have had the chicken in the marinade before the meeting, I did not. But I did pick up the chickens from the store.  I picked up a couple 7 pound "oven stuffers." Got them on the marinade at 2:00 PM and in the cooker by 4:20. Within half an hour they were coloring up from the chunks of mesquite I set on the lump.



This is the maiden voyage for my UDR (Ugly Drum Rotisserie.) While it was not without some excitement, it generally performed well. The problem I ran into was with the motor end of the spit as far as it would go in the motor bracket, the bird on the spit extended a bit past the edge of the ring.  I'll need to provide a slotted hole by the motor bracket to provide for further insertion while the spit is at an angle sufficient to clear the edge of the ring. With a little persuasion, I was able to get everything into the ring.

Here's the ring in action, all gussied up with a coat of BBQ paint.



A couple hours later the birds were nearly ready to come off.



No plated pix, sorry. We were hungry! and the chicken was delicious.

Better late than on time and not delicious. Good one Hank! I see you have been busy painting too.
