BESTO PESTO CHICKEN

Hope you all had a great holiday, even you Canadians. Thanks for looking.
I did not need to feed many folks so I took a 5 1/2 chicken, dried the skin 24 hours, placed basil pesto under the skin. Made some sausage dressing and added the pesto to it and stuffed the bird.
Placed on BGE indirect @375 with pecan for lite smoke, 1 hour 15 minutes.
Served with steamed asparagus, sausage stuffing w/gravy

Man, why the heck did you torture that poor bird? Did you tie her up then stab her with toothpicks or vice versa. Call PETA!
Looks very good! I've never tried stuffing a yard bird before. -
A FEAST fit for a KING! Happy Holidays my friend.

Looks nice. Will have to try the pesto under the skin. I am guessing it was really moist bird.

I bet it was a great bird. I bet you ate it all gone. Tim
