Title: Chicken legs
Post by: Wing Commander on September 14, 2013, 10:03:13 AM
Today I cooked some chicken legs. They were separated into thighs and drumsticks. Then they were smoked with apple wood at 250°F. After 90 minutes I glazed them and pushed them closer to the sidefirebox to get them caramellized.

Wow! Beautiful color. I like the way you slid the meat down the drum stick to make it easier to handle. Nice touch. Looks like you took the gourmet approach this time.

Is there anything from this cook that would help Tee with his legs?  Probably not. 

WC, they look fantastic!

how did you do that to the drum sticks?

First start with a cut under the ankle joint all around the bone and remove the ankle joint. Then push down the meat towards the other end to form a lollipop shape. Remove the pin bone and try to remove as many of the tendons as possible. Sprinkle with rub and let them rest at least 30 minutes.
