Chicken on a Throne
« Reply #-1 on: August 04, 2014, 08:56:46 PM »
The 5 pound bird was injected with Tony Chachere’s Cajun butter and seasoned with Tony Chachere’s
Creole seasoning.


I am cooking it tonight in the Performer, using the Vortex. I am using KBB and a few chunks of my
favorite cherry wood.


A little over 2 hours later and the chicken is done!


All sliced up.


Plated with yellow rice and green beans.


It was a nice even cook and the chicken was very juicy, tender with good crispy skin. A real delicious
Monday night dinner.

We may need to do a chicken cook-off with your Vortex and a PBC at the Gathering.

Chicken looks great!

The vortex being used that way kind of reminds me of a dog's head cone that they put on the after surgey.

Just what I was thinking.  Turned out some good looking yard bird!
