What the hell is a ramp?  Was this actually a Saturday Night Live skit???

Well just had the best bite ever from my egg.... It was the skin that stuck to the skillet! Seriously awesome, got the mushrooms, onions and potato on now sizzling in the chicken fat and roasted garlic:)

I must have been black listed, forum won't let me post unless I start with very little text and no pictures at all .... here we go again, divide and conquer ...  posting now, more text and photos to be added ...

I double-jumped on the CI pan seared chicken wagon, primed pans with lumps of chicken fat:

coated chicken with duck fat from yesterdays sous vide confit, sorry no pictures before the birds were chopped up. hands down the best chicken from my eggs, thanks @nolaegghead:

garlic, onion, green onion, capers:

the best part of the chicken, for the cook:

nolaegghead

What's that?  An opportune grab of meat?!

Canugghead

more commonly known as pope's nose, parson's nose?

sorry the photo was not clear, had too much tail end of spine attached to it!  btw, time for me to hit the sack!

nolaegghead

Oh, that's the tail.  Thick skin and fat cracklins.  That's something to like.

Finally go around to this did in the oven, mine took a little while and I tented for a bit but lights out with the veggies. This blows away Spatchcock on the egg imo and thanks for posting this brother Nola

That looks really good @skinnyV. This has turned into my favorite chicken too. I do on the egg with a bit of cherry thrown in right before I out the bird on. Smoke doesn't last long at 500 but you can tell it was there.

Canugghead

Bet it tasted as good as it looks @Skinnyv .  Love how you even splayed the wings!

Like CI cooks.

I tried this tonight on a 4.25lb bird, freaking fantastic.  Moistest bird ever, no pics.  5 years since this thread has seen the light of day - give it a shot if you haven’t.

I had to try this.  Came out spectacular.  I removed the chicken and cooked parboiled potatoes and carrots, along with an onion and a few pats of butter in the drippings.  Best chicken dinner ever.
