Got a call from my wife yesterday - "some" of her family was going to stop over for dinner - what was I making? Oh, BTW our oldest daughter's boyfriend would be here and maybe our youngest and a friend or two... and our niece might be bringing her boyfriend... Decided that a couple of good size chickens on the PBC with some roasted potatoes, apples and onions, dressing and gravy along with a salad should do the job. Sorry - no pictures after getting the chicken ready for serving... I turned around and it was gone!
The chicken was fantastic. There is a unique flavor from charcoal - no wood added. It was moist, juicy and the Mo Rockin Rub was perfect. The small taters were quartered, granny smith apples were cut to the same size as was an onion. These were tossed with grapeseed oil and some chopped basil, oregano, sage, parsley, and rosemary. These were roasted till nicely done. (Before I could get the camera and take a pick they were on the table and being devoured!
Some fresh flaky biscuits completed the meal.
It was pretty cold last night (around 5* air temp - not sure about wind chill...) The charcoal took a bit longer to get going (might have been damp) and the whole cook took about 2 1/2 hours. But well worth it. Love the PBC.
Cheers,
David

LOL - when I had the lid off - it was pretty darn warm. Lid on - nothing. Even the snow wasn't melted much... Very efficient!

Amber - some of the best chicken I've ever had / made. Was so easy... The chicken was very moist and juicy even the next day! The skin was delicious. Haven't done chicken on charcoal in awhile and it had a great flavor - very different that we were used to and a wonderful change. My daughter's boyfriend asked for sauce - I had Sweet Baby Ray's - he said it was great. I tried some on the cold chicken in a sandwhich the next day.... WOW. Totally changed the charcoal flavor and made something different. It was fantastic!
This is definately my go to chicken cooker!
Thank you and I hope you and Noah had a wonderful Christmas!
All the best,
David
