Roasted a bird today

[Colin]

On the new KJ.
Mama wanted comfort food so chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes it was.

A nice six pounder seasoned with Susie Q's Santa Maria seasoning.

Nice color and fairly crispy skin. It turned out delicious!

OK, lets try this again.







Something in this post got hosed. Not a problem. Will be doing a but in a few days.

Man, I'm liking this Classic II.

I roasted it at 350* for 1:45 mins. No smoke wood. Very juicy.

It's been hot here in KC. Mid to upper nineties and 100* forecast for Saturday. With the humidity the heat index is much higher. I get my watering done early in the morning and so far have been able to keep things alive.

dry brined in advance? i'm going to replicate what you did here. TY for the info.

 

[Colin]

No dry brine this time. Just rinsed well and patted dry and a little trimming was all I did. Coated with EVOO and applied the Susie Q's seasoning.
If you are going for crispier skin, bump the temp up closer to 400*.
Thanks for asking Brett and thanks for the like.

That looks good! I latched-on to Susie Q's two years ago and I'm still a huge fan. I'm assuming I first saw it somewhere on this site. My Son adds it to a variety of his cooks, including eggs.

Yep, that Susie Q's is good stuff! I like it on beef and poultry. I use a different rub for pork.

Oh, and thanks for the like B.

That's a good question, Randy. I don't really know, other than it came on this new Kamado Joe.

i need to replace a gasket and that one looks real strong!

Randy, the past couple years Kamado Joe has been applying fiberglass mesh gaskets. My classic has the old felt gasket. Nice job on the chicken Colin looks great.
