MAK Chicken thighs and wings...
« Reply #-1 on: April 03, 2013, 06:14:50 AM »
I've made Bacon, seafood, ribs on the MAK before. Tonight I wanted to try chicken and compare it to the charcoal cooked Chicken on the Weber, that we love so much.
So, we're going simple simple here...
Thighs and wings coated with some Mayo and dusted with James Gang Chipolte Chicken Rub (that was graciously given to me from Sam's NW BBQ  ;D)



Running at 375 degrees with OAK pellets


All aboard!


We hit 170 probably within 40-45 minutes. Glazed with a little KC Masterpiece and left to set for 10 minutes while the MAK was going through the cool down cycle.


My plate.


Great flavor with a hint of smoke presence. Skin came out nice, not too crunchy and certainly not rubbery.
This was a great cook for after work. Fired it up, put the meat on and was able to make a few e-mails while it cooked. Low maintenance. I like that.
Thanks for looking.  ;D

Nice bird chunks!  The mayo (or you can use spray margarine) is a great tool for escaping the dreaded rubber skin effect.

The Pit Barrel cooker has been helping with the moss though.  ;D

Patio is getting a serious pressure washing soon.  :)

Great looking chicken and nice salad with it!! Looks like you're just getting the Mak broke in. I love my Traeger because of low maintenance, it sure foots the bill for this ole fogie. Don

All looks really good.

Q: never heard of putting mayo on the chicken first? Then the rub.
