corn starch chicken revisited

Unknown · February 2006

<p />Wifey asked me to cook up a bunch of chix with skin for dinner. So I did my corn starch ritual followed by a blizzard of Dizzy dust. I added a handful of JD charcoal pellets with the guava and BGE lump/Kingsford mix. Kept it about 325 and kicked it up a knotch to 400 at the end.[p]Nothing left but bones. I really like my BGE.[p]Aloha,[p]Greg

Guava Greg,

Did you throw the JD charcoal pellets in the fire or make the pouch reccomended on the package? I tired it both ways and found making the puch to be a pain in the ....

guava greg,
Looks great. I have heard quite a bit about the corn starch
recipe. Could you give me the info? looking forward to trying it.
Thanks

jake42,
The Corn Starch trick is great! Spice the skin like you normally would and then give it a very light dusting of corn starch. I pat it in a bit and the skin comes out yummy and crisp. Give it a try!

Bigfoot,[p]Have you tried removing the skin before you dust it? Maybe it's just me but... I think chicken skin is nasty!

Bigfoot,
Thanks, Will do.

BR,
Well - if you want to remove it anyway you do not need the Corn Starch. The purpose is to crispen it up and make it yummy. But then it does not sound like you would like it anyway....[p]IF you want to remove the skin, loosen it up before you cook and spice under the skin then lay it back over the chicken and cook it (the skin helps keep the chicken moist) like normal with no Corn Starch. When the chiken is done, take the skin off ( you can mail it to me if you like) and eat your nicely spiced, moist chicken!

Bigfoot,[p]when you do that loosen the skin trick, you can use silicon mats from the BBQ Guru guys to hold the thigh or leg together while it cooks. They're called Holy Smokes.[p][p]

guava greg,
Going to have to do this tomorrow, I can't resist a good looking thigh.
