So I am thinking of doing a smoked pulled chicken on the recteq today. I am unsure of the size of the bird since I haven't purchased it yet, so not sure if I can do the beer can chicken method in this case or not.
I've neve spatchcocked a bird yet so I am unsure whats involved there, but I wouldn't mind trying it. My question after that would if I should place it on the small interior shelf with a water pan underneath, or just put it right on the grill. I've yet to do anything without a water pan, unless you could times where I had a hole and the water dripped out lol.
As for shredding it, do you remove the skin and then shred? Or shred it with the skin on? I have a set of claws I use for my pork that should work for this. Do you shred every part of the bird? Or just breasts and thigh meat and leave the wings and legs alone to use for something else?
My plan is to make tacos with the chicken for dinner, but besides that and sandwiches, anyone have any other ideas?
