Just a little Chicken

[OntarioSmoke]

Hey,

I tried some thighs and legs a few weeks back in the smoker and really enjoyed the tasty marinade of citrus and Italian dressing I used but was at the grocery store a week ago and saw a great deal on some small whole roasting chickens and couldn't resist.  My only mistake was not buying 3 or 4 more to do.  I made a herbed butter for under the skin and then coated it with EVOO and some salt and pepper and let it go with a combination of pecan and hickory smoke. 

After letting it smoke I pulled it and finished under the broiler to crisp up the skin and it was so moist delicious.  Made for a great meal and another excellent experience with the BDS.  Will definitely be looking for the next sale on these birds and will be doubling down so they will last more than a day.


All prepped and ready for the smoker


Fresh from the smoker and ready for a quick trip into the oven to crisp up.


The last picture before a leg was torn off as a sample.

That looks moist and real tasty.  Nice job.

I bet it did not last very long.   ;)

That looks great!  Ever try Jan's on them?  We do two at time and buy 8 at a time.  They are awesome!

Looks really nice.  We did two a couple of weeks ago and tore one apart to freeze to add as an ingredient for other chicken recipes.  The smoke really adds some zip.

 I could eat that all by my self. Great job.

@BigRich Haven't tried Jans rub on the whole bird but did do some legs and they were great.  Actually use Jan's on a number of things including some ribs I did over the weekend, love the stuff.

[BigRich]

Really.  I'll have to try that EVOO then.  Thanks.

Edit:  just told the wife about it and she told be what it was.  Damn do I feel dumb
