So, I finally got around to smoking my first spatchcocked chicken. I've been meaning to for some time now, and since the weather was so nice last weekend, I decided I had to do it. Here are a couple pics from my venture. Any comments or advice would be gladly accepted.
First off, I made the "20/20 Charcoal Basket" from the tutorial I saw at http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...expanded+steel. It literally took 20 minutes, just like he claims in the thread, AND it fits perfectly in the SFB of my CharGriller Smokin' Pro! I recommend trying this if you have a spare $20.
I marinated the chicken in an herb rub that I threw together and a honey-lemon-olive oil mix for a few hours. Ready for the grill!
After a garlic butter glaze, and about 3 1/2 to 4 hours at 250, she was just about finished. I used pecan chunks, and the bird turned out juicy and buttery. Delicious! I also threw a pork loin in the mix to get more out of the somke.
I'm looking forward to leftovers this week.
Best Regards
