Mixed Poultry
« on: September 23, 2014, 03:52:09 PM »
Wanted a chance to do a little beer can chicken Oktoberfest style, and to try out a couple of new rubs courtesy of @jamesnomore

First up - beer can chicken rubbed with a honey rub and placed over some German Oktoberfest brew:



A couple of turkey legs; one rubbed with "O'Brien's Green Chilie Magic" (thats what I call it), and the other with "O'Brien's WKC blend".  To make sure the flavor got into the meat, i lifted the skin and put rub directly on the meat.  I then replaced the skin and sprinkled more on the outside:



Sierralita doing what it does best.  Legs on one level, chicken on the other, smoked at 250 until internal temp hits 160:



The payoff:



The turkey legs got eaten cave-man style for lunch and washed down with a cold beer.  The rub permeated into the meat and provided great flavor.  Chicken will be served civilized (carved up and plated) with Mrs Winz. 

The whole house smells like Oak wood smoke.

That last shot of the chicken looks great. 

As per your Copper themed cookers....they bring me severe Weberitis. Seeing 2 at the same time.....damn.  I really got to make me one like you did.  I have the key parts just need a few more and some spray paint.  I also have a second copper lid to got with a single bowl.  Not exactly sure what I am gonna do with it....was thinking of cutting a hole in it to create a "Pizza Lid".

Great cook Winz, cave man legs are one of my favorite foods. Green Clili Magic has a nice ring. Might have to make some labels. I do the spice jars for xmas and the family loves it. This year they'll get the green chili blend, just waiting for my agent to send me a bag of the green  8)

I love the color on them.  How was the skin ?  Crispy ?

The skin was really good.  I put dry rub both under and on top of the skin and it gets really concentrated.  The skin is not quite crispy, but a quick direct grill will solve that issue.

Amen.  I am considering changing my will to have my ashes stored inside my mini WSM and then buried.

lol - in your backyard I hope!  ;D

That all looks amazing Winz! The skin looks perfect - I can almost smell it through my monitor!...

...and coming straight from another O'Brien (complete coincidence!) - the @jamesnomore rubs truly are [leprechaun voice] "Magically Delicious" [/leprechaun voice]
