Last Night's Chicken Quarters

Wasn't going to bother postings this, but I'm sitting at an airport bar waiting for a flight with nothing better to do.

I guess I could download email and be productive...nah...

Thawed these in cold ice water yesterday morning. Then let them dry in the fridge for a few hours. Gave them a nice coat of Meadow Creek BBQ rub and put them on raised direct at 400*. The foiled pouch in back is fingerling potatoes.

During the cook I spritzed them with a Vinegar/Butter/Salt/Rub combo that I had leftover from a chicken cook last week. 
When they were almost finished I glazed them with Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet N' Spicy that I cut with apple cider vinegar and honey. I added a bit much ACV as the glace was a bit thinner than I wanted.

Here they are ready to serve. SWMBO had a nice bowl of flowers on the table and I thought it might look nice. I see I should have cleaned the rim of the plate on the left side. :P

Here's a closeup. As you can see, the glaze was too thin to really set like I wanted it to.

I will say, the flavor combination of the rub/spritz/glaze really worked on these. I'm usually just a dry rub kind of guy, but I think I'm going to start working more with laying flavor combos on with multi-stage adds. A few weeks back I did a chuck roast for pulled beef and did a late injection as it was a small one, and I really liked that.

Who knows, I'll probably go in cycles and wind up back on rub only...

Anyway, no egging for me until Saturday...

    Looks like another home run to me. Nice looking bird.

    Looks great. My favorite chicken baste is Lexington style "dip" - which is mostly vinegar with some ketchup, brown sugar, apple juice, hot sauce, and crushed red pepper added to round out flavor.

    It's not so sweet that is burns and sticks and makes a mess, but has enough sweet to offset the acidity of the vinegar. Used it on chicken thighs one day right after I had just made a batch to baste some ribs/butts and was hooked.
