It has come to a point where I have to have a chicken ready to hang at a moment's notice.
Got home, kids demanded PBCed chicken. Yes PBC is now a verb.

I have PBCed so many chickens I don't even bother with checking temp anymore.
Fill the basket halfway with Ozark lump charcoal, fill a compact chimney with Ozark lump charcoal and light it.
Dump it in the basket when I see red hot coals at the bottom of the chimney. Leave the PBC uncovered for 10 minutes then hang chicken. Come back after 1 hour and 15 minutes, breast is at 155.
Works everytime. FOR MY SET UP.




Saw a pineapple just chilling on my counter.




Might make some pineapple rice pilaf to go with that chicken.

So you are obviously cooking your chicken at a higher temp than the traditional method (from PBC video). Do you find that the chicken is still super juicy? And how is the skin? Is it more bite through than at lower temps? I follow the video instructions and it makes the best chicken ever. But would not mind having crispier skin. Thanks!

Alright, sun is up it's PBC time.
I'm going to do something foolish. I'm hanging turkey legs.
These were brined and rubbed with Cajun seasoning.

First we lubricate









Using kingsford competition charcoal, see you later.

Aaaaaaand done!
By RFD the way, I used kitchen Twain to bind the legs to the hooks.



Right off the hanger



Resting


Another successful bird PBCed!
Took less than an hour. It's the same set up as my Chicken cooks so it was probably running at 350.
