Best tasting chicken I ever cooked

jls9595

I have used Allegro Hot and Spicy marinade before but only for like an hour. The thread the other day inspired me to leave the chicken in it for 2 days, ended up forgetting about it yesterday so 3 days it was.  In a word...Amazing. A bit too spicy for the wife but holy poultry! I couldn't believe the flavor and the skin texture. I cooked it raised direct 425* for 40-45 min to 185*. A bit of cherry and pecan wood for smoke. No other seasoning. Best I've ever cooked and probably ever tasted.

Great stuff, the Chairman of the Allegro Board, @Doc_Eggerton, now has some serious competition.

That looks great. Is Allegro a regional product? I have never seen it around here, and especially wanna try it out now.

Ok, gotta score some Allegro!

jls9595

I don't know if it's regional or not. I'm in Middle Tennessee and it's at my local grocery.

Walmart here.

That second shot could be enlarged and hanging on my wall.  Wow!

Three days?  You're almost there, give it one or two more.  Great looking cook.

wow Doc, really? My wife would not be able to eat that but I'm going to try it. If 3 was this good, I'm willing to try 4.

No, actually I would say 3 days is good.  Works well on beef as well.  Try a several day teriyaki too.  Beautiful color.  Only long term marinade I consider a failure was Italian dressing.  It cooked the chicken and was too Italian.  Glad to have fellow Allegro H&S fans.  Now, make sure you check out Dichicko's.

Oh, and do chicken legs, best there is on the whole planet.  http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1147310/simply-legs

I will, I first bought the Allegro because I saw a post of yours last year. Glad I finally tried a long marinade with it. Dichicko's will be next. Thanks.

Yep, this looks awesome. I've got some Allegro in the pantry right now, gonna break it out this week. Bookmarking the thread as a reminder.

What were the other cook details? Temp? Raised? Direct? Anything else on it?

2 more pounds for me please!

@Black_Badger details in the OP. You'll love it, just make sure to put the chicken in the marinade 3 days before you cook it. That's the key.

Allegro is good stuff! I used to use it all the time on steaks.

I've marinated ribs in it for 24hrs with great results.

@byrne092 They have it at the Kroger's here in the Peoria IL area.

Cool, might have just overlooked it. Might just call a few places around town, we have like half a dozen grocery stores in town, somebody should have it.

Great looking grub for sure.
