Hanging Chicken Legs

Griffin

I haven't posted a food pic here in what seems like forever. Just haven't been doing that many exciting cooks lately. Or that many cooks period. Mrs. G took a job for awhile where she was having evening sales appointments and she wouldn't know what they were till 2 pm. Often, she would have one at 5 or 7. I just wasn't motivated to grill much just for myself. Thankfully, a better job came around and we are back on a normal schedule and I'm cooking again. Didn't get any pics of Sunday's burgers (mine was bunless which wasn't all that bad), but I did get some of last night's legs. Finally tried out the legs over the veggies which I've seen so many times here before but have never tried. The chicken was airdried in the fridge for about 4 hours, then lightly dusted with a bit of my bbq rub blend and some JH's Texas Chicken Tickler and the veggies got some JH Mojave Garlic Pepper on them.

Veggies done.

Totally fogot to take a finished shot of the chicken. Whoops. Personally, I didn't see much benefit from cooking the chicken and veggies this way. No noticeable difference in taste from the chicken fat. The veggies were done way before the chicken and had to be pulled off, covered in foil and ended up getting cold by the time we ate. And the pan created a sorta indirect cook that IMHO caused the chicken to take longer to cook (400F for an hour, kinda long for legs me thinks). The chicken and veggies did taste good, however. Off to figure out something interesting (and carb free) for dinner tonight. Thinking pork tenderloin or seafood.... :-?

I promise I'll do a better job in the future of posting up more cooks.

Looks great! We were just discussing what to do for dinner tonight, as kids have sports, etc. Hanging legs it is, I can do them late this afternoon and have them wrapped in foil ready to go as everyone heads their separate directions. Thanks!

Hey Griffin:
I think I know you well enough where I can say: "Nice legs" and you won't take it the wrong way. Plus I am a carnivore heart and to have me say those veggies look great is something. If they tasted half as good as they looked, I bet they were amazing! Nice cook glad, to see you.

Linda is doing zero grain so no buns for her as well. Dinner looks nice and tell Stacie congratulations on the new job.

Spatched chicken over the veggies is a beautiful thing. Have not tried just legs. I've often pondered that rack you are using but not sure how often I would use it. It keeps things nice and neat, though. Yeah, I put the potatoes in first (if they are being served), the gently throw things in as the cook progresses so everything is nice an hot.

Your cook looks mighty tasty to me!
