Some vortex thighs

[Brokenhandle]

Kind of a short and sweet thread but so tasty! Wife had some thighs brining... not sure what she used as I've been gone in the field or busy loading hogs. So after three inches of rain I'm home and she left for work till Thursday. Cranked up the kettle with vortex... always a winner!

Seasoned them with Mrs Dash chicken grilling blend and Central BBQ that I got from JLeonard

Threw em on with a chunk of mulberry

Coming along nicely

Had a buddy call and kinda forgot about them... but was all good

Just me so I ate directly off the platter... wad perfectly done and moist. To be honest, the best dang chicken I've done yet!

So simple yet so satisfying!

Edit to add... asked my wife what she brined them in... I kinda had an idea but wanted to double check. It was Pop's brine with a little bit of lemon extract added. And kudos to Rich, chopsaw for turning me onto it... man has it really improved our poultry!

Mmm...pass a couple those this way Ryan! And thanks for reminding me that I haven't made any chicken parts with the vortex in a while! Time to dust off the vortex and get cracking!

Thanks Brian! Brining makes a heck of a difference! Want to try pickle juice once at least... haven't tried that yet.

Looks great Ryan !
