Deboned Chicken

BigWings

Carolina Q started this topic a couple days back that inspired me to try deboning a chicken again.

It made it so much easier than I remembered, with the key difference being how little he used the knife.   You could start the egg, go in and debone before it is time to adjust the vents.

Really quick and easy way to put something out there that will impress the guests in a hurry.  Took less than an hour at 400 indirect to cook as well!

Is that a whole chicken?

BigWings

Yup.  Not a bone in it, and not a bit of meat wasted.  Looks like there are no wings but they kind of got turned inside out.  I might stuff them next time.  Boneless chicken wings, the right way!

This was almost an afterthought so I didn't have much for stuffing.  Next time I'll go with an old fave - Pecan and Italian sausage.

That is AWESOME!! Both the fact that you tried it as well as your execution! Looks wonderful!! Glad I had a hand, however minor, in nudging someone to give it a shot. One of these days, maybe even I will try.

Excellent work!

That looks great.  I don't think I could make one look quite that pretty!

You played a big role, if you hadn't made that post I would most definitely not have eaten this fine meal!

I think it would likely work. Time on each side might differ given the quantity of meat differs but I'm sure it could be done.
