Sunday Chicken

[Ed M.]

Thawed out a frozen chicken and put it in a brine for a couple hours. Gave it a coating of a mix of flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and paprika.

Pretty sure my neighbors think I'm two fries short of a Happy Meal, when they see me heading out toward the garage with camera in hand.

On to the mini smoker.

Getting close.

In to the house and put it under the broiler for a short while to crisp up the skin.

Plated with some spanish rice and french cut green beans.

This was the best chicken I have ever cooked. My wife said the same. Tender and moist. Gonna be brining my chicken from now on.

Thanks for looking.

Great chicken. Brining always turns out better chicken.

Great looking chicken Ed! My neighbors are at the point that when they see me at the grill or smoker and I don't have my camera they ask where's the camera today!

Outstanding chicken Ed!

Do you think the flour had much effect on the skins taste/texture?

 

[Bob Sample]

Oh he meant flour, I thought he was cooking with geraniums . Silly me. Great looking chicken Ed.

Thank you all for the kind comments, much appreciated!

We think it made the skin very much like it is when we use Shake n Bake breading. We will definitely try it again.
