Title: Chicken & ABT's on the MAK 2 Star
Post by: M in MAK on February 20, 2013, 04:21:24 PM

Chicken is so cheap & easy, plus it tastes amazingly good when smoked. I got these 2 young chickens for under $12. I spatchcoked one and did the other whole. I smoked these for 2 hours, then I put the MAK to 400 until the IT for the breast was 170. For the ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds), I used yellow and red peppers instead of jalapenos (to avoid it being to spicy for the guests that can't handle spicy). I pulled the ABT's about 45 min before the chicken for appetizers. Tasted great!   ;D

Spatchcock: A bird with the backbone and sternum removed. There are some great videos on youtube that show you how to do this.
ABT's: Halved pepper (of your choice), then cream cheese, a Lil' Smokey on top and wrapped in bacon. :)

Thanks guys.  ;D
I think that ABT's are much better when made with jalapenos, but they were still good with the red peppers.
Can't go wrong with bacon.  :P

You'll get no argument from me (or anyone else on this forum) about that!



Great looking grub Matt!
