Well I'm covered in snow. What to do with these chickens?
« Reply #-1 on: February 18, 2015, 03:44:33 PM »
Whole chickens that just aren't making it in the barrel this week apparently. It's like 4° and a foot of snow. Any suggestions on how to bake one and come out amazing?

I think I'll just use the PBC rub and bake it at 350 for 1:15. Sound like a plan?

Maybe put an onion and a few carrots in the bottom of the pan under the chicken?

I would spatchcock the bird, mix your favorite rub with mayo, I work it under the skin and on the skin. Bake until IT of 160 degrees in deepest part of Breast. Let it rest. Enjoy

Set them free and let them fly south for the winter. They'll multiply and even more will come back when your grilling season starts. Not to mention increasing your supply of free eggs.

Oh, you're talking about DEAD chickens. Too bad.

Get a vertical roaster (like the Spanek) and follow the instructions.

Wendy does whole chickens in the oven at 450 for 1 hour. Crispy skin and moist on the inside. She uses Lawreys Season Salt and they come out real good  8)

Not time...temperature....of the chicken determines doneness. Cook time can vary based on weather conditions.

Dude, Im eating in a. Hour and 15 minutes, done or not :)
I put a bag of baby carrots and chopped an onion up and put them in the dish with some Olive oil and PBC beef rub, and put a half a bulb of garlic inside the chicken, brushed it with butter and covered it with PBC all purpose rub and put it right on top of the veggies. It shall be good enough. :)

If it were me, I'd (I'm going to answer kinda like Turtle here) get some butcher paper and wrap up that bird good and tight. Place it on the PBC and at 5F it should freeze in no time. While the bird is doing it's thing outside,  get that oven up to 350F and throw a Hungty Man Turkey dinner in and in 35 minutes you are enjoying dinner!

Or....do what Pappy said!  :D
