Juiciest Chicken EVER!
Fark lots of prep...
Fark Spatchcock...
Just made the easiest and juiciest smoked chicken I've ever made.
Olive oil
Soy Sauce
Ground Pepper (And any other spice you like)
Slather on skin
Put chicken on BGE at 300 for 3.5 hours.
Catch up on ME time playing on the net.
DONE!
Crispy skin outside, cannot get more moist inside.
Next time I'm doing 8 chickens just cause their so dang easy.
If you are looking for the easiest way to do pulled chicken that is smoked...this is it!

Chicken is one of the proofs that the BGE is different. Looks really good.
XXL #82 out of the first 100, XLGE X 2, LBGE (gave this one to daughter 1.0) , MBGE (now in the hands of iloveagoodyoke daughter 2.0) and lots of toys -

Your are right on point....too many people over think the process

Looks great, did you do them raised direct or indirect? Drip pan?
-
Just did them indirect on the grate using the placesetter.
No drip pan...although my placesetter continues to accumulate grease.
Frankly, for this many birds, I'm kidding myself with using a drip pan unless I get one

i never use a drip pan, but i do cover the platesetter in foil, kind of a homemade tray, and throw it away.

My drip pan is a pizza pan covered with foil.....after the cook, just throw away the foil and start again

Wrapping the platesetter in foil is easy and works great for chicken. Just don't try it when doing a butt. Trust me.Mark Annville, PA

I do it with butts and brisket all the time......no problem or me

ThailandJohn,
I've always wondered....what would happen if you tried an indirect cook with only your pizza pan?
No placesetter. No Pizza Stone.
After all, all we are trying to do is separate the flames from the food.
Have we all been sold a bill of goods that we need a huge thermal mass (Placesetter or thick pizza stone) to cook indirect?
Just curious.

3.5 hrs SEEMS like a long time, though I used to do that on the old Brinkman but only with leg quarters. Curious if you took internal temperatures at all? Or this was just a time thing. The primary thing I've learned on the BGE site, besides how to use the BGE, is to cook to internal temp.

It works but I inject my butts. They leaked so much juice that it came out through the lower vent and all over the.patio.thailandjohn said:I do it with butts and brisket all the time......no problem or me

It is a REALLY long time. That was what was freaky about it.
Temp was appx. 200 degrees in the thighs. But because the chicken was kept whole, it just kept roasting, not drying. My wife pulled the meat off the remaining three chickens today....the bones slid right out....just like a pork butt.

Not sure what you are referring to? Using a pizza pan instead of a placesetter? -
I put a foil covered covered pan on the platesetter

No placesetter. No Pizza Stone.
You are correct-all you need is a heat deflector and some air gap between the deflector and cooking grid.

you dont need the extra thermal mass for low and slow or for roasting, it does help for higher temp pizza and higher temp breadmaking so for most cooks a simple pan works just as well as an inderect setupThailandJohn,

foil works. you are creating shade. thermal mass has a benefit for other types of cooks as fishless said, but you really only need to create shade: block the direct radiant heat from the lump.

All i use is a stainless steel drip pan from Ceramic Grill Store. I wrap it in foil each time, but i haven't used a plate setter in a couple yrs. -
i cooked a whole chicken yesterday. plate setter indirect, olive oil sprayed on (aerosol can) with raging river dusted on outside and inside. cooked about 90 minutes at 350 . well until internal was 145 throughout. it came out great.
Family loved it. Daughter is headed off to dorm food in a couple weeks and said she is going to miss my chicken the most. Dorm food is overcooked and dry. and the wife said it was worth waiting for
Best compiment ever!
I love my egg.

Mine is an 18" wide square of heavy duty foil. Crimp the edges while turning it and forming it into a circle. Toss in trash when cooled egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante
