Chicken Legs w/VORTEX

[Enrico Brandizzi]

I decided to stop grilling chicken wing (just for a while) and move to chicken LEGS.
I settled up 26 weber kettle with Vortex and poured 1,5 briquettes regular chimneys.
Grilling T at lid thermo was 450F through all the the 60 minutes cook. I suppose at grate level was lower (the cone eruption was near to lid thermo).
I used some peanut oil to stick Money Rub by BPS and some Cherry rub by Simply Marvelous.
Both rubs did not burn and blacken.
conclusion: skin was crispy not only bite trough. But the Money rub's ones were crispyer than others. meat was moist and flavourful.
I preferred the Cherry rub for taste but not for crispyness.
overall I great tasty dinner !

Nice legs!

I really have been wanting a Vortex. I think this seals the deal for me.

Mighty Fine looking Legs Enrico. So I assume you purposely placed the legs bone end toward the coals to protect the meat from over exposure to the heat?

Enrico;
The "legs" look wonderful! Nice job, all 'round!

In these days of high prices, chicken is bargain priced (at least around here), and I flat out LOVE chicken parts done on the grill.

I have been doing chicken on my WSM's (I remove the heat deflector/water pan and run all vents wide open) and have been VERY happy. I really like the idea of the vortex but since I am happy as I am I probably won't get one. Your post, tho' REALLY looks good, my friend!

Keep on smokin',

Great looking legs Enrico. I love that SM Cherry Rub. Just restocked with an order a couple of weeks ago.

Fantastic legs Enrico (not you, the chicken)
Did you buy the Vortex while on Rome, or was something you took over there with you?
I'm doing legs tomorrow and I already feel unworthy, lol

Yes it is.

Great looking legs Enrico, nice description of the cook too. Barb and I gave up on wings when they want $7.99 a pound during the playoffs and even after the Super Bowl they will be $3.99-$4.99 a pound and legs are $.69 a pound. We like the legs better too.

Awesome legs Enrico, they look mighty tasty and the color WOW!!!

 

[Dustin Dorsey]

Those drumsticks look tremendous!

Legs looking tasty Enrico.

The Vortex is a fun bbq accessory, go for the chicken thighs next.
