The other night I did a basic roast chicken on the egg. I just used my regular roasting technique from inside on the egg. Did it indirect at 450, and preheated the CI skillet. Stuffed the bird with cut up lemons and several sprigs of fresh rosemary and dropped the bird into the preheated skillet. Roasted for about at that temp for about 45 minutes, until breast IT was 160 and thigh was 170. Let it rest in the skillet for about 10 minutes before cutting. No plated shots, but had it with a lentil-olive salad and steamed corn.

Also toasted some marshmallows for SWMBO Jr. Flat metal skewers and I let the dome hold them in place for 30 seconds before flipping and giving them another 20 seconds. She ate them right off the skewer.

  • Very nice, sometimes - most times - simple is better. I think this works with chicken if you don't want that super smoked crunchy skin. Kids always want to roast mallows - brings out the kid in all of us. 
    Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

    Skiddy, the skin gets even crunchier with this method. I's basically fried on the underside of the bird(thighs and legs).
