High Heat Chicken on the WSM

[Dustin Dorsey]

I cooked some high heat chicken on the WSM using Tootsie's mop sauce for smoke day this year.



Chicken seasoned up simply with kosher salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic. I let the chicken dry brine overnight.


Making some of Tootsie's mop sauce.


Fired up the WSM with lump and a chunk of pecan and a chunk of post oak.


I took the water pan out and cooked with direct heat. I mopped every 15 minutes. and cooked the chicken to an internal of 160.


Finished chicken.


My wife made macaroni salad.


Plated. I used the food setting on my phone's camera and wound up with this weird pic focused on this wing. It's the only one I took. Whoops.
I hope everyone had a happy WSM Smoke Day!
