Because I just don't like spatchcock chickens.

I just don't. I like hanging them better. We've done several of each and just prefer this. The alum balls under his legs are just proping them up a little. Plow boys and Everglades as usual for seasoning. 

Really just checking in, as I've been stupid busy with the new job. Long hours and dealing with customers sucks. But so does breathing in bondo dust and paint all day. It'll work out I guess. We will just have to get used to late suppers.

I guess the others are taters.  Looks good.

Lots of ways to cook a bird.  Looks good. Hopefully, as you get settled in it slows down. 

Hope to see you in May!

@theyolksonyou Were booked, I'm gonna reserve the camping spot tomorrow. So we'll be partying at the campground! 

@Mattman3969 I made a couple last year for a couple of guys but now time is not my friend. If I can round up some more steel I'll make you one.

Man...its like your bird is at the spa relaxing.  Great looking tan on that bird man!!

I understand the time thing.  Whenever if you get a chance that would be cool   Just let me know a cost if the time ever happens.  No worries one way or the other.

I like to change up the way I do my birds as well.  If/when you get a chance I would like to see a picture of the hangar and how it's attached to the egg.  Thanks.

Great looking chicken. Love the vertical roaster. I have a set of different sizes that will do turkey, chicken, Cornish hens, etc. Until he has time to make you one, you can get this set. I've had mine for about 30 years. Crappy website, but the product is good. http://spanek.com/roaster/roasters.php

i too like to change it up when i do a yard bird.  i have two of these from my old weber gasser and they are irreplaceable.  i half  a lemon and put it juice side down over the four prongs (instead of their cheesy cap) then insert the chicken on top of it and the thing falls apart when i pull it off.  and so juicy!!!
