Spatchcock Yard Bird

[Dwain Pannell]

I am pretty much a weekend warrior when it comes to brewing and smoking. When Sunday afternoon rolls around we're in kinda prep mode for work Monday AM. It's a sad time for sure because I love to cook and brew on the deck. This weekend was raining all day Saturday and Sunday but I set up the Dallas Cowboys Blue EZ UP and made it happen anyway.

Today's cook was chicken.

I brined it in salt water, a bay leaf and red pepper flakes. I removed the backbone and basted it with an egg and vinegar wash in attempt to get crispy skin. Then I hit it with some Weber Mango Lime Rub.



I put the coal to it, again, in an effort to get crispy skin



Then I hit it with some home made BBQ Sauce we call Hank's -- a buddy of mine who I got it from about 10 years ago.





I got a couple pieces of the breast and a wing served along side an herb pasta and okra and tomatoes.



I owe, I owe, so off to work I go. Boo Hiss.

Beautiful looking plate of food Dwain! You can send me Phil's share of the okra!

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks delicious, Dwain. I remember those Sunday blues.

That's my favorite chicken smoking setup, and your's looks really good, Dwain. It's been a while since I glazed any chicken. What's Hank's sauce like? It sure looks good on that bird. I'll have to try that Weber mango lime rub.

 

[Bob H.]

Dwain, will you share Hanks sauce recipe with us? I'd love to try it, your bird looks great!

[Dave/G]

Do you think the egg and vinegar wash did any good?

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Do you think the egg and vinegar wash did any good?

Not really. I had the heat up, used the wash, and still did not get the crutch I covet. LOL
