boring post, yet Tasty Bird

[Jim Lampe]

started Sunday dinner with crash hot potatoes

seasoned up a 4 pound yardbird with Wee Willy's #1 rub Thank you AGAIN Mike!

about one hour 20 minutes indirect with apple and hickory wood for a decent smoke flavour...

the skin certainly was crispy! Amazingly!
Served with roasted cauliflower and those fantastic taters!

Thanks for stoppin' by! Hope your evening is most enjoyable!!

Get outta here with that boring stuff, it ain't working with you. Nobody will fall for that, we've all seen your skills and I've only been on here a few months!!

With that said, nice looking bird. Love the cauliflower as well, I need some grilled.

Nothing boring here. Great chic and taters. Do you baste your bird with oil to crisp it up, or just salt and rub?

 

[Jim Lampe]

thanks you two
Gary, i did nothing but add the rub on AND under the skin.
then left the bird alone to roast in the Kettle.
Leaving it out to room temps about 1/2 hour may not hurt either. (may not HELP either )

ZZZzzZZzz Nuff said!





Awesome looking Bird mate! Love that color.

 

[Paul Kastner]

Perfect chicken.

 

[Brad Olson]

Great color on the chicken, Jim! The cauliflower looks good, too...one of my favorite vegetables.

 

[Andy Beers]

Nothing boring here. Looks great

Don't be so hard on yourself, Jim. You can't be "on", cooking 5 course meals every night... it's the way you trained us, though I would be very happy with a boring post such as this.

Jim (Dr. Grill) Lampe ............Good looking meal as always. I especially like the crash potato's as anything new in that category is most welcome. I recall a cook by one of those food network guys (M. Simon, I think) where he smashed the potato, though not as much as yours, and then fries them...............d

 

[Glenn Fleming]

that looks awesome..love doing whole birds!!!!

 

[Mike Cosgrove]

Hard to beat a bird for cost and effectiveness.

 

[Zac_Callier]

Jim that chicken (and whole meal in general) looks absolutely mind blowing, do you mind if I ask at what temperature you cooked it at? I enjoy smoked chicken but typically the skin doesn't look/taste that deliciously cooked

 

[S Riddell]

Boring for you maybe Jim! For me that would be a cook I would make my screen saver!

 

[Tim McCann]

Chicken looks awesome.

The humble roast chicken. So simple , yet little else compares in deliciousness . Them spuds ain't bad , either.
Nice cook , brother.

Thank you everyone for all those very kind comments, all very much appreciated!

...at what temperature you cooked it at? I enjoy smoked chicken but typically the skin doesn't look/taste that deliciously cooked

Thank you Zac I tried to get the grill very hot, the highest it got (and I was good with that) was 400ºF. So it was a good high heat, and yet took in some smoke during the cook.
As i typed above, the skin was nearly perfect and crisp! I was very happy with that. I'm a skin eeter.
butt then, i'll eet just about anything

Thanks again folks!
