Chicken Cookin'

[Rusty Breaux]

Cranking up for a LoneStar bbq society event in april, so i decided to run a couple of half chickens.

The chicken was VERY good and we enjoyed it. BUT there were a couple issues. As an after thought, the last layer of seasoning was a very light dusting of Cayenne. I should have omitted it OR put it as the FIRST layer. It kinda masked the other flavors. Also added the sauce too early in the process and it charred much more than im looking for. And the skin ended up ripping where i probed it w/ the Thermopop.

I am going to make some adjustments and go for another run pretty soon. Figured id share the ****.

This is about 30 mins after saucing... THAT is the color i want on the finished product

FINAL product...

Rusty, I'd say they look fantastic and great looking crust.

Thanks boys. Overall was a good test run. I think if i can nail down the flavor im looking for (this one was very close), then i would actually be happy if this is the color i got on gameday. Its not a horrible problem to have actually.
