Was it tasty? Yes it was!



There is something special about charcoal. I guarantee that anyone you serve this chicken to would be able to identify that is was cooked with charcoal. In fact they may even be able to say it was with Kingsford!

Eating this chicken took me back to a time when my father would fire up the old weber and grill away. I was impressed with the amount of charcoal flavor the chicken had. IMHO there is no need to add any smoke flavor. The charcoal does the job.

The PBC is truly a set it and forget it charcoal cooker... Except when you improperly hook the meat ;)

Lol! My last cook, I hung a link of homemade sausage. I hung them on the hook where the natural casing is twisted. You can imagine what happened in a few minutes. Luckily I had just stepped back out to do something and I decided to open the lid to catch a wiff and a peak ;D. They were nicely done. All I was trying to do was heat them thru.

Muebe- Looks great but I would definitely recommend cutting the chickens in half like on our videos, that way you won't have the problems with hook placement. When they are cut in half you hook them under the wing and it holds really tight.

Yeah was not the best place that I chose. I think if I would have used two hooks in each one under the wings I would have been fine. The dang chickens got too tender and gave way! It is all your fault! :D

Even though they spent a short time on the coals they were still really good ;)

The skin was very good but not super crispy except for the skin that made contact with the coals. But it was not chewy either.
