Saturday chicken

[DaleW]

Wife is out of town, so the boys and I can eat whatever we want--no green stuff! Sent the boys to the store to get a whole roaster.

Then I cut her little spine out and laid 'er open. Seasoned with Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic herb. Here's dinner, ready for cooking.

Searing the chicken.

Moved off to indirect and threw some pecan chips on for smoke.

Oh yeah, we're talkin' SMOKE!!

So now just sit back on the Adirondack while the chicken gets happy. Thought I might catch some of the air show going on at MCAS Miramar this weekend, but they were between shows. I can hear the Blue Angels overhead while I'm posting this though--the sounds of freedom I call it.

Off the grill and resting. Overshot my 165 breast temp target, but it was still juicy and tender.

Ready to eat. Nothing fancy, but perfect for 3 guys on a Saturday evening!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Dale, love the relaxing area. I really love the spatch chicken with beans in the tortillas, perfect man food. The "Ranch Style" beans, love em'. I like the pintos with jalapenos.

There is nothing wrong with that meal, Dale. In fact, it's awesome! Those tortillas are the perfect addition. I've never "spatched" a chicken before, but I'm certainly going to try one soon.

My sister and her family live in San Diego. They went to the show both days and loved it. And they live close enough to Miramar that they got to enjoy the fly-overs after they got home

Great cook, Dale. Thanks for sharing.

The chicken looks great! But I will have to say that your patio looks even better. What a setup!

Mighty fine looking cook and a great space to cook in.

 

[John Solak]

Great looking chicken but I see green stuff in the beans!!!

 

[John Bridgman]

Jalapenos don't count as green stuff. I read that somewhere... probably the same book that said bacon is a vegetable...

 

[DaleW]

I'm with John B on this one!
