So some of you may remember answering my questions on how to get a crispier chicken skin from a couple of weeks ago. Well, I've smoked some chicken halves the other day and I must say I got my best skin yet! These chickens were juicy, and oh so tasty!
Did up 2 halves with the Dinosaur BBQ Cajun Foreplay seasoning, and another 2 with salt and lemon pepper. Threw them in zip lock bags with buttermilk for a couple of hours, and then took the advice I was given to blow-dry the chickens after I take them out of the brine. Yes, you read that correctly, I used a hair dryer on my chickens for a few mins. After that, brushed them with olive oil and then re-seasoned them. Threw them in the smoker at around 350 with Mesquite wood chips & some Oak pellets in my AMNTS. About an hour and a half later, pulled them out and threw them in the broiler for a good 5-6 mins. Crispy skin, tons of flavor, and fall-off-the-bone meat. Best chicken I've smoked thus far!
Here they are ready to go into the smoker:
Cajun Foreplay Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken
Now Here they are out of the broiler, and served with some red-pepper broccoli:
Cajun Chicken
Lemon Pepper Chicken
