@Babekyu - That chicken looks excellent! Have you tried the toad/frog cut? Normally done for turkey but works the same and easier on the knives and arm muscles! :-)
@Gringo - Thanks. It WAS pretty delicious. I was pleasantly surprised actually. In fact, I rolled the dice, as I did not lift the lid once during the cook. The first time was when the ThermoWorks Smoke read 165°F.
No, I have never tried the toad or frog cut. In fact, I never heard of it, so I had to Google it. I'm glad you pointed this out, because I had a heck of a time cutting out the spine, even using what I thought was a quality set of kitchen scissors. It was quite frustrating and painful. I will definitely consider that method in the future. By the way, I used the app for that post, haha. Thanks again.
So how's the brisket?
