Chicken for the Team
« on: March 13, 2015, 08:57:36 AM »
Hey Everyone!

Chicago weather is finally in the 50's/60's, and you know that means more grillin and chillin.  Was in a good mood, so decided to cook up some halved chickens for the co-workers at ACE Hardware Headquarters.  We're a tight knit group, and everyone loves BBQ, so why not treat them, right?

OK, so here we go - got 4 - 4lb Purdue chickens halved up, and dusted with Weber's Beer Can Chicken Seasoning, along with Paprika for color:



The staging area in the garage, just built that work bench and it's been very useful:



Split the cook up between an older OTG, and my newly unboxed $75 Performer Gold (recent Home Depot Sale):



Kids were outside playing, and my little boy was helping with the Youkon Golds.  Needs to upgrade to charcoal for sure.



About to go on, indirect  - 425 to start, used apple and pecan.  Brewski tasting delicious:



Loving the color:



I sauced them the last 15 minutes, using some cheap Kraft sauce (not bad), and finally plated:





Got everything setup before the guys came down. I'm definitely stealing the cafeteria's profits today:



Everyone enjoyed the chicken, and as people passed by our table, everyone kept asking where did you get that? LOL - the former chef used a Ranch kettle for some of his meals, but as he went, so did the Kettle.  I know cuz I asked if I could buy it.

Thanks for lookin guys!  Have a great weekend!

Martin

nice cook
If we were meant to grill with gas then the garden of Eden would have had a pipeline

That looks awesome! ;D

"...using some cheap Kraft sauce..."

I have only found a few bottled sauces that are memorable to me, and those are usually too spicy for the family. :'(
When I am just looking for a sweet/smokey/tangy sauce the one that is on sale always seems to work great! ;)
A bunch of black kettles
