MacKenzie Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Did and 8 pound chicken, roti style, I've been dying to try this:) 3.5 hours at 390F, a little hotter than I wanted by just try to cool this thing off;) It is tied and packed tightly into the roti and in the grill. Just out of the KK. Resting. Sliced and exposing the moisture. Plated.
GoFrogs91 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Looks great! Glad to see you are making use of all of the new toys.
tony b Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 As expected, amazing! But, given how trussed up it was, I'd have called it chicken in bondage vs rotisserie chicken! Did you put anything inside the bird? What's the rub on the outside?
MacKenzie Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Posted July 22, 2015 Tony, I wasn't going to have that thing escape, sure didn't want to goof my first roti cook. It was a chicken rub put out by a ceramic grill company. The spice is called Tupelo Honey Crunch. I don't normally do a lot of prepackages rubs but you never know what will happen;) I did put an onion in the cavity:)
Poochie Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 The entire meal looks delicious. You're on a roll for sure. Keep 'em coming!
tinyfish Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 MacKenzie that chicken looks spectacular and the plated pictures are making my mouth water.
CeramicChef Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 MacKenzie - another beautiful work of art called a feast for the eyes and tummy! I love the color on that bird and the money shot is simply superb! How you expect to keep outdoing yourself is beyond me, but you're doing it! All kinds of Kudos on this cook to ya!
ckreef Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 What a really great looking chicken. The biggest down fall of me getting the 16.5" KK was no rotisserie option.
MacKenzie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Many thanks everyone. You were so right this is going to be a lot of fun
SmallBBQr Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 So that was 8 pounds of bird....that is an 8" roti rack? How many chicken of that size (just cause I don't see a wider angle shot) could you get on at once?
wilburpan Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I’ve been loving making rotisserie chicken on Smaug. Yours looks delicious. I haven’t been trussing my chickens in order to get the wings and legs to hang away from the body, in an attempt to get more yummy crisp skin. That’s worked pretty well. The wings and legs don’t seem to be overcooked, although I’ve been cooking smaller chickens than the eight-pounder you did.
MacKenzie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 SmallBBQr, I doubt I could get 2- 8pounders in horizontally, if I did it would be tight fit.
MacKenzie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 A nice lunch, roti chicken sandwich 2
CeramicChef Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Now those are some leftovers I could eat!
tony b Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Nice. Much better than the deli chicken sandwich I had for lunch today!
MacKenzie Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 I'm expecting lots of leftover meals from that 8 lb chicken but then again, I love chicken leftovers. Maybe I'll even do a chicken pie 1
ckreef Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Chicken pie sounds great - I vote chicken pie.
Poochie Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 MacKenzie, you've got a real talent when you can make a photo of a chicken sandwich look like a 5 star meal! An 8lb chicken can kick a rooster's butt. Looking forward to your next cook.
