I wanted to try something a little different today for my chicken. I brined the 5 legs and 4 thighs in 2 cups of buttermilk. I stirred
in 2 tablespoons of Way Out West. I brined them for 8 hours. Once out of the brine I seasoned them with just a sprinkling of
garlic pepper.

Put onto the Performer using KBB in the Vortex and 1 chunk of cherry wood on top of the grate.

The chicken was fantastic! The W.O.W. added just the right amount of seasoning and the chicken taste really came through. Both
salads were great and with the corn salad you can add or subtract whatever veggie you want. Next time I make it I will probably
add some cucumber and crumbled smoked bacon.

Great looking plate HOS.

Chicken looks outstanding! Corn salad looks like a must try.. thanks for sharing the recipe.

love the color of that bird

Looks great. I sometimes forget to use the simple marinade of buttermilk. I find if I put some small slits in the skin of my chicken it helps the marinade penetrate the meat better. Dee
