I am new to this site, just got out of Cattle Call, so please forgive me if this is on the wrong thread.
Anyway, I made pulled chicken out of two 6 pound birds tonight. I have to apologize because I only have photos of the finished product. I began preparing it this morning after working all night, blah blah blah, and out of my tiredness, I forgot the camera. I will explain the process though. First, I brined them for 6 hours in Apple juice, water, brown sugar and kosher salt. After that, I brushed them with evoo and covered them with a brown sugar/paprika rub. Here's where I tried something new, I placed them on an open can of Dr Pepper as opposed to beer. I prepared my Webber Kettle grill, added some apple wood chunks, and got the temp to 275. After thin blue smoke was flowing, I placed them on the grate over a pan of hot water. About 2 hours later, the breast meat was 173, so I took them off, wrapped them in tin foil and placed under towels in a cooler for 1 hour.
While they were resting, I mixed equal parts Sweet Baby Rays and Dr Pepper and simmered it on the stove.
I pulled the chicken, rubbed it with the skin, then discarded the skin. The wife said it was the best chicken she ever had and the most surprising part, none of the kids complained! So here is my only picture
Thanks for viewing! And I promise to have full pics from beginning to end next time!
