Learn me on that one, G. You get a nice crisp skin, then grill with indirect heat? Do you add to the coals in the center? What was your total grill time for that result?
A prep question: Was the chicken rubbed with oil, then seasonings? Straight from the market or washed, drained, allowed to dry? Thanks in advance for the info! You gave me another idea to try the next time I'm in Arizona. On my last trip an applewood-smoked pork loin came out perfectly, but my chicken has been lacking. |

Cheers! ...and tasty!!! Quote:
First, there are mixed comments on rinsing and non-rinsing; used both as our butcher has pretty high sanitation standards; seen no difference flavor-wise. Rub a small amount of olive oil (this eases crispiness on skin) and then season. Yesterday I prepared seasoned 'sampler': some just salt and pepper, others bbq rub, more with garlic and aromatic herbs; this brings a nice punch and surprise to otherwise just 'grilled chicken'. I set temperature at 275-300F, charcoal in center. First, cook over direct heat, skin side down, to get skin crispy. Then arrange chicken to indirect heat, and use your BEST friend (specially with chicken): a pro grade kitchen thermometer. I use Thermapen. Check internal temperature first 20 min and then every 10-15 until you reach 165F internal. It does not matter if it 'looks' cooked or not; 165 is cooked. Period. With chicken, we all trend toward the 'safe' side, thus overcooking and having dry chicken. If you remove at 165F, it meets USDA and all food safety standards, PLUS you get incredibly juicy chicken. Enjoy! |

Thanks for the details. Did you have to add coals?
Thermapen it is! From all quadrants recommended! When grilling, I've never like the results with washed poultry unless it sits a long time to dry/drain. I'm thinking it is an issue with my fire, water dripping onto the coals. I've been working with pork, tri-tip, and brisket (on the grill) but want to get into chicken. |

As far as Thermapen, I love it. With a pro-grade thermometer, you want two things: 1. Accuracy 2. Speed If your thermometer takes 10-15 seconds to give you a good read, you will very likely: burn your hand, loose heat in the oven/grill and-or have desperate customers! Thermapen's response time is around 2-4 SECONDS. No wonder why it is the brand used in pro kitchens. Yes, you will pay a pro-tool price; but worth EVERY penny at the grill. |
