Chicken

Well we had the 2 weeks after mothers day BBQ 1 week late, Chicken on the menu, had to work Sat night, got to sleep about 4:00, set the alarm for 8:30 to get the chicken in brine and plan too sleep a couple more hours, but once I woke up couldn't get back to sleep, fired up the charcoal at 10:00, 10:30 took the chicken out of brine and seasoned with paprika, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and cayene

















BBQ up to temp, threw on the chicken, put in some hickory chunks for smoke and let her cook a couple hours, then smeared em down with BBQ sauce and let em smoke anothe 1/2 hr















Mom, Dawn, and little dude, Buzz, Erik, Andy, Heather, Shawna, Spud, Lynn & me on hand for the festivities, threw a couple burgers on the Weber for people that didn't want chicken, this got nowhere near the rave reviews of my pulled pork, but was very tasty, nice smoke flavor, when I do it again will remove the skin, it kinda get leathery with the slow smoking, all in all, another successful attempt.

not sure when I'm gonna fire it up again, but gonna have to try a brisket someday, not really a BBQ cook if you can't do a brisket they all say, and I really gotta do ribs again to make up for my first mistake, so much food, so little time
