Couldn't help but share it

I was cooking a chicken just to pull and have for dinners for the rest of the week. Ran this bird at 375 for an hour with a chunk of apple and a chunk of pear. Popped the lid off to check it at the hour mark, and had to get the phone to snap this pic. I pulled it at 175ish. Might be the best skin I've gotten so far.

Have a good one fella's!

Looks damn good over here in Canada dude. Lump or briquettes? Consistently crispy skin on chicken is something that has eluded me.

Kbb, Hoss. I don't get the crispness skin either normally. I wonder if the wood choices helped the color along with the higher temp. I normally cook a bird at that range but don't get it like that

It may have been the pear wood which gave you the darker skin. I know for a fact that cherry will give a darker skin as well. I use apple quite often for poultry and it doesn't darken the skin like that. Nice looking yard pimp!

Gorgeous!

That looks great!  I would have guessed that you used cherry.  Sounds like I need to pickup a bag of pear!

Big fan of pear on chicken.

Travis was that cooked all on the indirect side or did your sear it any?

That was all indirect heat. No flip, no flop.
