W.O.W. Chicken - YUM!
« Reply #-1 on: April 05, 2013, 11:13:16 PM »
Since sage goes so well with poultry, I thought I'd try some Way Out West seasoning on a spatchcocked chicken, and WOW (pardon the pun) was it good!


Spatchcock the chicken and apply a thin coating of mayo to both sides. Sprinkle on some W.O.W. seasoning,
place on the grill and Grill at 400° until the breast reaches an I.T. of 162° - 165°. Pull off and rest for a good 15 minutes.




Just look at it!  That is some certified YUM right there!  :P

I've played around with this a lot.  The trick is combining the mayo coating with a high heat.

The high heat gets the the chicken fat (just under the skin) and the fat in the mayo hot enough to fry & crisp the skin from both sides before the fat melts off.  But, the high heat means you need to pull the chicken a little sooner so it doesn't over cook & dry out.

The other advantage is the mayo acts as a great glue for whatever rub seasonings you're using.


Give it a try! :)

If you didnt know better you would think it was deep fried!  Perfect color and my guess is taste as well. Killed that one sir!

Well isn't mayo mainly made from oil? So it makes sense that it would help to air fry the chicken under high heat.

Bird looks great Cliff!

Have done Mayo on chicken and even on BBQ.  Works about like any other oil (normally just use squeeze butter like most) IMO.

I have a Purdue yard bird in the fridge and going to put it on the Yoder tomorrow... I'll have to give this a try.

How long was it on the grill at 400?
