Chicken Cornell : Pellet cook

[Elf@shore]

Was going to do a chicken breast splits
On my Grilla Chimp grill tomorrow.
Going to marinate as per Docs recipe for 2 hours.
Probably 4 pcs?
Want to add Yams later
To the warm rack.
What Temp to cook and when to add the Yams?
I am thinking after 2 hours ?
Rotating the chicken and adding the Yams?
Not sure on the temperature to hold and add the Yams?
Do not want to dry out the chicken.

No advice on the yams but Cornell chicken is designed for hot and fast over coals. It's fantastic. I always cook it on a kettle. I've cooked lots of chicken on a pellet grill and usually run 325-350.
If what you call yams are what I call sweet potato then they will likely take a good bit longer than the chicken. Just my beer fueled opinion. Good luck! I bet it will be good!

I doubt you'll be able to barely taste the marinade with that short soak time. I go for at least 24 hours. Preferably 48 hours.

Did not know that, last week I put the drums around the vortex like wings, still came out good.

hmmm, I will have to go to 48 from 24 on the next run.

24 usually works great on thighes. For quarters or halves. I do 48

Over high heat for a couple of minutes on both sides. Then move to indirect heat. Then baste if you wish. At least that's how it is done here in upstate NY.

I'm a direct heat for this , but build my fire accordingly . Always leave a cool zone in case it's needed . Then it's flip and baste the whole cook for me .
Overnight for the brine .
