We are doing ensalada de pollo ( chicken salad) This is something my mother and most mexican families do during the summer time.

My son Anthony seasoning the whole chicken. He looks determined to do it right!

In the mini wsm it goes with plum and apple wood chunks. I like this pic of my son :eek:

I used one full chimney of hot coals and it settled at 300-350 during the cook. It was good I wasn't looking for a specific temp. Just wanted to be more than 275 and no more than 350

Here it is after 1 hour. It took about 1 hour 40 min to be completely cooked.

Maribel came home and pulled the chicken into little pieces

Add the corn and mixed vegetables fresh out of the can. 1/4 cup of mayo and sour cream. 1 tbs of black pepper. Mix together good and let them be happy for an hour

My daughter helped wash the dishes and I did what I could to clean up also.

Thanks for looking
Tony and Maribel
 
Great post, and that food looks great. Kudos for doing it as a family, good looking boy you got there
 
I'd hit that! Hellman's make a mayo with lime flavoring. Give a try sometime. There are also some Mexican brand mayos with the lime flavoring too. They add that extra zing.

My wife makes a mean chicken salad too. Now I'm hungry! Also, good to see that my son isn't the only one with a "Turtle Man" Smile! :-D

Looks great and I love the fact that the whole family is in on the deal. Good for you.
 
Looks great! Some of my best memories are grilling with my Dad, so now I'm grilling/smoking with my son. Our kids will have great memories of these times around the grill and the smoke. Keep up that tradition as long as you can:)
 
Nothing beats cooking with the whole family. That chicken salad looks great. Nice work!
 
Great looking food! Your son's expression looks like "Give my creation LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!"

Thanks for sharing!

When I bought the smokey joe I told him it was grill. Then I built the mini and told him he now has a smoker. He was happy.
He told me yesterday when we do steaks can he grilled them on his baby weber. I'm a proud father!
 
Why is my mouth always watering after reading your threads?

Nice looking grub!!
 
Thanks for the idea I have a 1/2 bird I cook on the mini last night. Guess what for lunch:mrgreen:
