A simple chicken in the PBC
« Reply #-1 on: August 14, 2013, 10:06:30 PM »
Nothing fancy. Rubbed the chicken with mayo (Hellman's) and some John Henry and Tatonka rub. Cut into to halves per the PBC video and hooked them up. I let the charcoal go for about 25 minutes and hung the chicken. Two hours later, I pulled them and added to some long grain rice and some steamed / buttered veggies.

Roscoe has learned that what comes off the grill is good...

Rocky is still one of my best fans...

A perfect meal!

Thanks, pz.

The chicken was moist and tender and the skin was perfect / crispy. I really like the PBC for chicken - turns out perfect every time and no real effort.

I can vary the rub for flavor, but always count on the PBC to turn out great chicken every two hours. It's magic!

I like the flavor - not sure if it is the charcoal or the charcoal "fog" as the drips hit the coals... either way, this is a unique flavor and I like it - and the best part is - my family likes it too!

+1 for PBC chicken  ;D

This is the cook I do most often on my PBC with a recipe similar to yours and the results are always awesome!  Everyone who tastes it raves about it and it is super easy to do.

I used the PBC for competition chicken (thighs) last weekend and got a walk, but it took lots and lots and lots of experimenting and tweaking to figure out how to make it work.  Big difference in the approach and target, of course.  Nonetheless, it is a chicken cooking machine extraordinaire  8)

The PBC and chicken were made for each other.  Tonight's dinner will be chicken wings on the PBC.  Can't wait.

I'd like to hear about hat you do to make things work for competition. I am happy cooking in my backyard, but it would be interesting to hear about "the other side."

Thanks!
