Close, but no Cigar!
« Reply #-1 on: May 04, 2012, 01:18:45 PM »
In my quest to cook the worlds best chicken, my latest try!
Usual bird , 5 lb non enhanced, brined overnite in simple brine.
Injected with 1 & 1/2  sticks butter mixed with 1 tsp Tony's.
Skin rubbed with butter &  Tony's
Put on kamodo on charcoal & pecan chunks.
Cooked @ 350F - 375 F till internal temp 162F
Very good, BUT not as good as my GOLD STANDARD bird on my SRG :'(

I would hit that yard-bird!  What does the SRG do to make the chicken stand out over this one LA????

The skin from the SRG is almost like salted chicken flavored chips.
A little moister also.
BUT Smoke  if the next few cooks on this cooker are as good as the first few, I'm going to suggest you get one ;D
