Cherry Flamed Chicken!

[civilsmoker]

It’s been a while since I’ve used the X-Fire Grill and have been craving chicken so picked up some .99/lb legs and a whole chicken to brine up.

Made up some brine-aid 1.5c water, 1/2c each salt, red wine vinegar, & balsamic, 1 TBS each sugar, garlic & onion power, pepper, & 3 TBS Italian seasoning.

So while the bird parts was brining I made up some gravy. After 3 hours of the backbones simmered i added the automatics.

Yum in the making!

Pulled the birds from the brine, rinsed, dried, and resting in the fridge

Warming up the X-Fire

On they went over a cherry wood fire!

Bam bam!

Bam bam bam!

Now with some Yukon gold mash and the gravy that was 5 hours in the making! Also had a veggie tray but no pic of that....

There is something about old school that makes for a nice meal!

LOL 99 lb legs......0.99/lb. but a 99lb bird would be something to cook for sure!

Thanks jacm! I can say it’s mouthwatering smelling it while it’s above the fire but then there is a reward after the waiting!
