Mac's photos reminded me of my chicken cook on my 16 last time I was in Italy. It was swelteringly hot and I imagine the KK could cook the chicken low and slow without even being lit! My evening guests were sensible people and I didn't imagine them wanting to stand outside with me while I tended to my cook so I decided to cheat. I got the smoke into my chicken legs by cooking them in the KK in the afternoon. They did come out nice and crispy. I also roasted some peppers and grilled some skewers. A blessing because there was no way I was going to light an oven in my non air conditioned kitchen! The cheat? When my guests arrived I heated, and further crisped up, my chicken legs in the air fryer. Not as juicy as when they first came out of the KK but they did retain a lovely smoke flavour.

Hey there @Troble. Did you ever nail an updated Peruvian crack recipe? I have four giant Huacatay mint plants and am looking to cook your pollo alla brasa recipe this coming weekend. I found this description of a sauce from the company that sold me the seeds. Does it approximate to what you have found too? To make authentic Magical Peruvian Green Sauce or "Ají de Huacatay": You need: 1 rocoto pepper , 1 hot yellow Aji pepper - both with the seeds removed!, 1 cup of huacatay leaves, a small sprig of mint leaves, Lime juice, lots of garlic, olive oil, salt. Put everything except the oil in a blender. Blend the peppers garlic and leaves together, adding oil until you get a smooth puree, kind of like making mayonnaise. Add salt to taste.

Yes, I hang it just below the hook with the grill temp at 400° and insert a temperature probe facing upward in the breast. I take it off at 165° breast temp. This might look a little burnt, but it’s not. The marinade/mop sauce had a fairly high sugar content and carmelized by the end after mopping it three times during the cook. So far I’ve done 1 thing at a time. In a couple of weeks I’m having visitors and am planning on cooking three at the same time, which is the most you can hang in a 23 Ultimate. I mean it when I say I love the duck hanger. It’s fun to use and everything I’ve cooked with it has turned out great. But then again, everything I cook on this grill turns out fantastic!

Speaking of forgetting, I forgot the plated shot. 😁
