    folbot2001,[p]Wat the skin pink or the outer portion of the meat? If you use smoking chips or you lump produces smoke, you can get a "smoke ring". This soes not mean the meat is not cooked, just a result of smoke. Also, what was you setup and temp?[p]I like skin crispy and fing i get better results with spachcock (butterflied)chicken cooked direct on a raised grid.[p]Smokey

    folbot2001,
    Chicken does the pink thing when cooked over wood, charcoal, etc. It has nothing to do with bloody, undercooking. In short, no, there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe wrapping in foil, but then you may as well cook in the oven if you don't want any smoke flavor.

    Some dark pink meat is normal when hardwood smoke is involved. Do a search on "smoke ring." If you eat chicken at a BBQ restaurant that cooks with wood, you'll see the same color. Trust your internal temp and enjoy.

    Thanks all, did you know that coffee makes cafine as an insecticide? And we drink it. Maby we should apply it topical next time in the bush.
