Got up this morning and thought: "hmmm, i think I'm really need to smoke something..." So i ran to the grocer to see what was on sale... Found a nice sized bone in butt and small whole chicken for a sweet price!
So i got the MES heating up and pulled out the butt, i recently made my own rub rather than using a store-bought one (i was using the "Sweet Rub of Mine" before. So i figured i try her out this time. Gave her a nice rubbing of honey dijon mustard, then applied my rub liberally. (its basically a mix of brown sugar, Paprika, smoked salt, kosher salt, ginger, wasabi powder, chipotle powder, and chili powder in varying degrees, ill let you know how she tastes)
Didn't have anything for the chicken so while i was at the store i decided to try this new Franks Red hot i hadn't seen before, and this poultry rub i found:
(my first attempt to spatchcock, worked okay but not perfect)
Anyway, here is the progress so far, i threw the chicken in the race under the butt so it can baste it up throughout, I'm going to switch them places in a moment, since the chip is almost finished.
So far it looking pretty good, ill keep y'all updated with pix as they get done.
