Eat Mo Chicken

[OldHickory]

The market had fresh Foster Farms chicken @ $0.79/# so bought two.  Spatchcocked and into brine for 24 hr.  Brine:1c Kosher salt in 1gal water with zest and juice of 3 lemons.  Did a good  rinse and dry after the brine, then seasoned with 3tbs Secret Weapon and 1tbs crushed bl. pepper, and enough OO to make a paste.  Then into the refer for O.N.

 

It was then into the Bradley for a 2 hr smoke/cook @220* with hickory.  After two hrs the IT was 138* in the thigh, so it was then into the SRG, on low with the lid down, until IT was 164* in the breast.  Out of the SRG and a rest under foil until time for dinner, about 45 min.

       

It was time for a little glass of good wine, and time to eat.

     

A nice Cabernet, mixed green salad, buttered baked potatoe wedges, and a very moist and juicy tender chicken.

24 hours in a 1cup salt/1 gallon solution, didn't that make them too salty?

[OldHickory]

Use Kosher salt, much more coarse, rinse well after 24hr, salt taste no problem.
