First cook, chickened out

Cookup

Getting a new kitchen, and consequently being without one for a while, was the reason I started looking for an outdoor cooker. So now I've got an Egg and it is my kitchen. Being unfamiliar with grilling in general and quite hungry, I decided to stick with chicken, in bits. Making a rub after reading lots of posts here and doing the legs according to another post on Tandoori chicken, I fired up the Egg in near freezing temperatures and rain. Not too concerned about perfect done-ness at this point, I decided to shoot for recognizable. I guess I threw the bird bits on a bit soon, as the vents were still way open to get the temperature up. Not sure, but maybe a bit too much direct heat caused some early blackness. That turned out to be just the rub, so I got wings with bark. Maybe I have low standards, but that tasted so good, I know where all my chickens are going from now on.

I have no clue which of the two came first, but I do know the chicken goes in the egg.

The Broccoli was a bad idea, though.

You'll instantly become a great cook once you understand these two things:
1.) how to control  the temperature of your egg.
2.) always cook to internal meat temperature, not time or appearance.

Good luck and enjoy!

Number 2 is the absolute best Egg advise ever given.

Err, life started as single cell organisms, I.e. eggs

If the egg came first I guess there had to be a chicken sitting on it. Incubation.

Egg came before the chicken.
