Chicken thigh dinner

[AndyK]

Made some bone in skin on chicken thighs tonight.
I’ve been enjoying spring here down in the Bay Area and my bbq tools are at a minimum.
I used the oem baskets instead of a vortex and added a couple big chunks of mesquite to raise the temp.
That work well and provided us with a juicy but yet crisp skin.
Here are a few pics.

Nice looking plate Andy.

Was debating between some leg quarters and pork steaks for supper tonight. You just helped me decide on chicken

Makes me hungry!

Looks absolutely delicious! Completing the mission with the tools at hand would land you on Special Forces, Andy. In my book anyway. Love Mesquite and Thighs.

My chicken cooks never look as as good as anyone elses.....those look really good.

Darryl,
This was a really simple cook.
I marinated the thighs in teriyaki sauce all day.
After the grill temp got hot enough to make the meat not stick I circled the meat around the coals with the mesquite as shown.
I ran all the vents wide open, flipped the meat every 10 or so minutes and added/mopped some of the leftover teriyaki sauce to it every time I opened the lid.
I also mopped & flipped the meat every 2-3 or so minutes during the last 15 minutes.
Total cook time was 50 minutes.
The meat temp was 175-180 when done for me.

I’m liking the results using the oem baskets w/mesquite toppers and will do this cook again.
Cheers.

Same here, Darryl.

Killer color on those thighs, Andy.

Umm..I probably could've phrased that a bit differently...

Ha ha ha!

Perfectly done!
