Three Little Birds

[chopper]

Fired up the GOSM this morning and put three chickens on.

I didn't do a whole pile of prep, but laid on a rub that will hopefully work out ok.

Put the 8 year old offspring to work, and she came up with the following rub ingredients:

Garlic powder (LOTS)
Paprika
Chili powder
Sea Salt
little bit of white sugar (again...all her idea)

Mopped it about halfway through with a bunch of homegrown herbs (oregano, lemon basil, summer savoury) and melted margarine...along with garlic...what is with my kid? Always the garlic

Pics to follow.

She is definitely getting into this smoking thing. When i bought the GOSM, she made me "sell" her my Char Broil! She worked out heck of a deal out of me too! All I got for it was two Barbies...no clothes though

Here's a couple of the chickens:

Hey great chickens and sounds like you got a wheeler-dealer smoking queen there! Good deal!

And now you can have a "Barbie-Q"

Everything looks like it's going along just fine. Can't wait to see some pics of the finished product.

Here's the finished birds. I didn't get pics of any plated pieces...but trust me, it was fantastic. I used the drippings for a gravy after skimming off all the fat. man oh man, chickens have a lot of fat in them!

Love the song 3 Little Birds. Always calms the nerves when I'm streesed out. Way to get the little one involved.

Great looking smoke!

Good looking birds you've got there!

I have a foodie in the making too. Love it when the kids help cook. It's great when my boys enjoy the same things I do.
