So, after the brutal failure of my last chicken cook, I had to rectify the situation. Last time, I got fancy, tried a weird buttermilk brine, and it turned out horrible. This time, I stuck to what has always worked: a nice dry brine overnight. No more chasing waterfalls.
Using their wing seasoning instead of the usual Clucker Dust:
Onto the pit we go. I have high hopes!
Basting it every 20 minutes with some garlic butter/Louisiana hot sauce. Coming along nicely:
Let's flip 'em over for a bit!
And done! Victory is mine. It was AWESOME.
Lesson learned. No more tinkering with a good thing. Well...for now at least. :laugh:
Oh, and since we were fortunate enough to luck into two chickens...I wrapped one up and put it on the front porch for my father in law to grab, as he was nearby. Proper social distancing and all. :thumb:
But, dear Brethren, what started out as a small act of kindness ended up in my favor. For you see...after he left, I noticed that he had put this on the doormat:
Thanks for looking...hope y'all are safe out there.
