Mayo'd cheekun thighs

I tried the mayo thing on spareribs a couple weekends ago, but overcooked the ribs so don't have a valid opinion yet on the technique.
 
Today I had two chicken thighs, brined and air-dried in the frig for 24 hours, and spread a thin coating of mayo and then Montreal Chicken Rub on top.  I was patient for once and really let the Egg soak at 400F for 45 minutes before putting the cheekun on, indirect.  Overcooked slightly (as I usually do).
Wow.  That was the best chicken I've made on a grill.  :-bd  Will definitely be trying that again.
 
Will also give spareribs another shot, trying not to overcook this time.

    Looks delicious.   JK!!  Sounds goood though.  I did mayo on ribs and really couldn't tell the difference.  Need to do a side by side to really see.

    Glad it worked for you. I'm still not sure why it works, but I know I love my ribs with the mayo smear!
