Why not share it in the recipes section ?

I'm going to have another go at the chicken as mine was Cack the first time around. What temps did you cook at  boys?

 

[red robbo 69]

Mine was about 160-170C. I've tried lower temps and never been pleased with the outcome. 

 

[kiska95]

Yeah I did it at 120c and the skin was like rubber!

 

[ewanm77]

Did mine between 180 and 200 for bout a hour and half and put garlic herb butter under the skin was very moist

Hello.  FINE looking yard birds all!  Glad to see the exchange of ideas and info.  kiska,  Rubber skin.  A problem with chicken!  You have 3 options.  Live with it.  Have a grill ready with REALLY HOT coals and then transfer the the chicken to the grill "slightly" under done to finish and crisp the skin OR same option with a pre heated oven.  FULL blast oven pre heated.  Keep Smokin!
