7-hr. Brined Chicken

Ross in Ventura · 12-09-2012, 11:55 PM

I brined this chicken for 7-hrs. in the fridge

On the grill @350*- 400* indirect for approx 90-min. with avocado wood for smoke

45-min. into the cook taking on the smoke

Pulled @ 165* internal and let rest for 10-min.

Served with Jackie's mashed potatoes and asparagus. We loved the chicken is so moist and tender full of flavor

I've been on a smoked chicken kick lately and that looks great. Makes me want to smoke some tomorrow.

Hi, I was interested in you using avocado wood, how does this compare in flavour to using something like apple?

Looks great! Thanks for the idea of cooking without the grate, so simple but never thought of it myself.
