Joe Davidson Chicken Cook - Pron

wheelterrapin · 01-09-2011, 10:28 AM

Ok gang as promised I am following up with my Joe Davidson's "The Best Chicken on the Planet Cook". Let me say up front I was cooking this chicken for the family and in no way was it for a competition so the pictures and procedures are just backyard quality.

I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a package of "bone in - skin on" chicken thighs and there were 11 thighs in the package. I roughly trimmed them up removing excess fat and skin and then seasoned them with "Joe Davidson Pig and Poulty Seasoning"

I then put them on the grill with the heat on high to sear both sides of the thighs:

Once I got both sides seared I placed them in the boiling Jacuuzi Bath which consisted of:

1 Quart of BBQ Sauce (I used Hickory BBQ Sauce as this is what I had)
1 Cup of Honey
1 Cup of Tiger sauce
2 Cups of Beef Broth
1/2 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 Cup of Brown sugar

Per Joe's instructions I let them boil in this Jacuuzi Bath for 30 minutes and then removed them from the bath and placed back on the hot grill and seared both sides again:

Once this was done they were placed in an old pan that I had lined with aluminum foil and then the thighs were glazed with some of the Jacuuzi bath and they were ready to eat. I apologize for the poor quality of this picture as I should have laid the thighs out in a bigger pan and they would not have been so crowded for the picture but by this time the hungary crowd was about to maul me:

In conclusion, I cannot say this was The Best Chicken on the Planet because I do not beleive anyone has ever tasted the best chicken on the planet BUT my harshest critic for any cooking I do, (my wife), said it was the best chicken she had ever eaten and in my 67 years I have cooked a lot of chicken. I also had guest over who said the chicken was excellent. I thought the sweetness of the Jacuuzi Mixture would be overpowering but to my surprise it was very sutle and the addition of the Tiger sauce added just the right amount of heat, not excessive at all.

Will I cook chicken this way again...you bet, and I am already planning a cook for my children and their family.

Looks tastey. If the "critics" like it, that's all that matters.

That chicken looks awesome! By reading your method and looking at your pictures, I can tell those thighs were moist, tender and delicious, with just the right amount of char on the outside and great texture on the skin; not an easy combination to achieve! Beautiful job!

I have been doing something similar to this for awhile with thighs and like it. My boil hasn't been that sweet, but will try this and see. It definatley helps with the rubber skin.
