Resetting the Palate...As plain as it gets chicken

Have been on a fundamental flavor re-entrenchment kick lately. No rubs, no heavy spices, no sauces, no nothin' but the flavor of the Egg. I did 16 chicken legs and 2 breasts tonight. Raised grid, 350-375 dome about an hour. Salt and Morton's Nature's Seasons on top of an EVOO slathering was the only seasoning...my other objective was to produce perfectly finished skin...lightly and uniformly browned, crispy, no burns. All objectives achieved (for the first time in a long time). 2 adults, 3 kids consumed all 16 legs...the breasts were put on later and came off after the feeding frenzy was already over.[p]All in all, an interesting break from all the complexities we (I) tend to add over time. Reminded me of Northern Italian food where they use simple combinations of 3 to 4 flavors max in any dish and let the "virginity" of it all speak for itself. BGE meets northern Italy. Ming Tsai, where are you? I've got my Italian Classics and Dean Martin CD's queued up ready to go!

these are delicious and my wife can it them as well (previous ulcer prevents her eating HOT :evil: food) -
This is what I use to get as many chicken parts on the grill as possible. The cool thing about these racks is you don't have to turn the chicken. I basically season them up put em' in at 350 and leave them alone for about 35-40 minutes.

bbqwizard,
Thanks,
I got the wing rack at Cabela's.
I got the leg rack (which holds legs and wings) at thegrillsuperstore.com. By the way they have great service too.

jake42,
I just went to GrillSuperstore and it looks great. I had to laugh though because on their front page they show "Gourmet Smoking Planks and Cookbook" List price $39.97 SALE price $39.97!

jake42,
I just ordered two wing racks from thegrillsuperstore.com. They're on sale, regularly 12.97 down to 9.97, with a 3-buck s&h charge. Total came to 25.94, which is about half what Cabela's is charging for what LOOKS to be the same product.

WDAN,
i agree with you... . as much as i love all my rubs and sauces, sometimes a return to the simple things is nice too.... i did a flank steak the other night. .. no marinades or rubs. .. simply rubbed it with evoo salt and pepper, then grilled it on a cast iron pan in the egg at 500 degrees. . .taste was fantastic. .. .
