Sunday Slow Smoked Chicken

Acn

I saw a food network show a bit ago and one of the hosts was taking about a place that slow smoked and pulled their chicken, 4 hours at 250. I decided I needed to try this.

Two chickens rubbed with Plowboys Yardbird, including under the skin and in the cavity. Then put them on with some peach chips for smoke. I did two, they'll be dinner tonight and part of lunch through the week.

They look good so far..I will be interested in what your thoughts are with the results..

I don't think you will be disappointed with the results. Slow cooking gives a different texture. I do wings and pieces this way but most people here want turbo.

When I do low and slow pieces I do raised direct at 250 dome for 2+ hours. I know they are done when the skin begins to sort of firm up and they look like they are starting to fall apart. Internal temp at that point is around 190 when I have checked it.

I did mine a little different. Two on steamer stand with Blue Moon, orange and rosemary. With lemon pepper inside and out. Cooked at 300. Cone snores for desert.

I always slow smoke chicken for soups or chicken salad. Yours look great.

It turned out really well, we pulled it, tossed with some sauce, and served as sandwiches with a side salad.

That looks great. I've been doing wings and legs like that the past few times, next time I egg a whole bird I'm going low n' slow and I'm not going to spatchcock it.
