Well I guess since I cooked up some chicken quarters, I might as well enter them here.
First of all, these were some funky cut leg/thigh quarters. I got them at Fresh and Easy on the way home from the golf course today because they were on sale for .89/lb. There wasnt much care in the butchering of these quarters...
As you can see, I had alot of trimming to do.
Here they are nice and trimmed. I scored them to allow my Apple Jerk rub to penetrate deeper into the meat and also allow for the rendered fat a place to escape and allow the skin to get crispfied. (I may be blowing smoke, but hey...it sounds good, right?)
Here they are with the Apple Jerk rub applied.
and onto the egg at 300° with a chunk of applewood thrown in for good measure.
I cooked them for about 45 minutes and then basted them with a mixture of lemon juice, EVOO, garlic and honey every 10-15 min until done. They may not be the prettiest quarters you have ever seen, but they were farkin delish! Nice crispy skin with just the right amount of heat from the jerk rub!
