Beer Can Chicken how high heat ?


 
Dave/G

Had the BCC this evening for supper.

Cooked at lid temp of 360 for about an hour.

Used Cherry Coke in the can.

Meat was tasty, tender and juicy, clearly the juicyest, chicken "I" have ever made.

Skin could have been a little more crispy.

Rinsed the chicken patted dry with paper towels, put a light coating of olive oil on it, and then put on the (low sugar) rub.

Put the BCC roaster in a pie pan and added a cup of water, as I had seen on a TV program.

Wonder if the skin would have been a little more crispy if I wouldn't have used the pie pan/water ?

I believe this chicken is as good, or a little better,than any "Whole" chicken I have cooked at "high" heat.

I still think I like the meat a little better, cooking the "whole" chicken low and slow 250 ish, of course it takes 5 hrs and then We don't eat the skin.

The skin on the BCC chicken was all eatin by the family, I just think maybe it could have been a bit more crispy. everyone liked it that's what really counts.

When I cook chicken legs with the thighs attached on the lower cooking rack with no water pan, then I get the perfect crispyness I want.

Happy smoking !!!
