So I smoked a couple birds on the WSM for a co-worker... (w/PICS)

[phatbac]

Hello SMF:
I smoked a couple of birds over the weekend for a co-worker who said he would like a couple of chickens. I brined the birds in salt and brown sugar overnight. then in the morning I dried the chickens and spatchcocked (butterflied) the birds. I coated with Salt Pepper Onion Garlic (SPOG) on the underside and the skin and under the skin. then I put on Bradley racks and put a bed of fresh herbs underneath them and a drip pan under the Bradley racks. I smoked at 220 for 3 hours and in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. what resulted was a house that smelled wonderful and a couple of birds to be proud of!

Season with SPOG and fresh herbs after a spatchcock...

Smoke at 220 degrees for 3 hours...

put it in the oven to crisp the skins at 400 for 20 minutes

Let rest and wrap for transport...

Thanks for looking and any comments or likes you would like to add!

Happy Smoking,

Looks amazing!!! But was the skin eatable? I have tried chicken and turkey multiple times on the smoker, even on a rotisery and even running the temps high at the end the skin was tough and not really eatable.
