LarryR Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Woke up this morning craving BBQ so after a couple of heavy meals I decided to smoke a couple of chickens. Made-up a go-to generic bbq rub, cut the birds and threw them on over some cherry wood. Bird on top was done in 4 hours, bottom in 5. Cooked around 235. Turned out great, moist, tender with a light cherry smoke flavor. Bird on the bottom was a little better as it was basted in the drippings from the top bird but both were great.

Conodo12 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Good job on the spatchcock chicken - it is one of my favorites! I can honestly say, my chickens cook a bit faster than 4 or 5 hours and we cook at the same temp. Were you just looking to have them fall off the bone? Thanks for the pics!

mguerra Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 chix Chicken seems to take a really long time to cook if you do it indirect. At any temperature. Maybe he did it indirect; Larry did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryR Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 You are correct sir! Did in-direct with clay saucer over the fire and deflector sitting on top of that. I use the clay saucer as I cannot bring myself to dirtying the stone that came with my KK, waiting for my clay saucer to fall apart then I'll dirty the stone.

T Rex Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Well, haven't done a spacthcocked chicken yet on the KK yet so I guess today is the day. I am planning indirect at a little higher temp than Larr..... with lots of Apple wood, will report back later. Oh yeah Larr, fabulous cook, thanks for the pics.
