Couple last minute yard birds

[SmokinVOLfan]

Was wanting to do a big smoke for my birthday this weekend(brisket ribs PP etc) but weather kind of derailed that plan with rain and snow. Decided this morning I would run to the store and grab a couple chickens. It was 20 here today so didn’t want to spend too much time outside.

Right out of the package

Spatchcocked them

Rubbed down. One with jerk seasoning. The other with Stubbs chicken rub.

Fired up the SV24 for this one. Rolled 325 and used apple. Had a few cold ones of course

Rolling along nicely...around 125 at this point

Hit 160 and pulled them out since I knew they would they would carryover to 165

Pulled the breast meat and left the dark meat on the bones.

Added some stuffed mushroom caps and ABT’s wrapped in homemade bacon.

Forgot to get a plated shot but this chicken was juicy and amazing. Some used bbq sauce for sandwiches but I used a little hot jerk sauce on mine. Great quick smoke will definitely do again.

Any suggestions for the leftover pulled chicken? Was thinking maybe chicken salad or chickens tacos?

Looks fantastic, I would definitely go with the chicken salad. One of my favs

Hell yeah. Looks damn good.

How's about a chicken pot pie with those leftovers?

 

[yankee2bbq]

Great job! How do you like Stubbs rub?
Leftovers-chicken enchiladas!!!

This time of year & with the frigid weather I’d take the carcass to make soup stock for some smoked chicken noodle soup. Just my thought

Didn’t think about a pot pie sounds damn good. Thanks for the input!

The Stubbs was actually very good. Kind of a sweet mustard peppery. One of our local grocery stores had it on clearance for 69 cents a bottle I couldn’t pass it up. I’ll def use it again. Enchiladas sound great thinks for the input!

Makes a great sandwich that’s for sure. Couldn’t believe how juicy these things turned out. Probably have 4 pounds of meat left off the bone id say

Lol. It keeps reminding me year round how much I’d like to at least win more than 6 games again one day

Great looking chicken never seen anything that won't work with chicken. Just plain smoked chicken is fine with me.

How about a couple smoked chicken egg and cheese biscuits for breakfast? Side of chipotle mayo sour cream

I bet you are really hating anything orange after that thumping y'all took in the National Championship!

This Texas Aggie thoroughly enjoyed watching that ;-)

Back to the chicken: how about a chicken pasta, or a smoked chicken casserole?

 

[chilerelleno]

Two birds, do both salad and tacos.
Or maybe chicken-n-dumplings.

Looks great, like!

We eat a lot of spatched Yardbirds smoked in our CCSV24 or grilled.
