Bone In Chicken Breast

Nothing fancy, just a favourite of mine off any grill, especially a BGE.  

Prepared a couple of bone in, skin on chicken breasts and coated with dizzy dust from DP, placed back in the fridge for a few hours.  I got the Mini Max stable at 400* with cherry chips for smoke.  Placed the chicken on when the smoke turned that beautiful bluish white and smells amazing.  Tonights cook took about an hour, I pulled them when the juices ran clear and the IT was 170*.  I served them up on a bed of basil basmati rice with a side of asparagus.  Tender, juicy and oh so tasty!  I just love Chicken cooked in the Egg

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Thanks Matt, my wife and I really enjoyed the cook.  She has challenged me to find healthier options for her.... ok... maybe both of us while still enjoying all the wonders of the Egg.  If only I could get her to enjoy seafood of any kind, I'd be golden!

    I understand, Monty!  My wife isn't much on seafood or is very adventurous eater.  I have to make separate stuff for her than I.

    Nice to know I am not alone when it comes to living with a picky eater.  I quite often do the same thing, making the separate meals option.  As long as everyone is happy right?  :)

    Yeah, what she lacks with her palate, she she makes up for with other things, so I cannot complain.

    Well said Matt, I totally agree with you on that point!  Sounds like we both have it pretty good

    Great cook.   Bone-in chicken is one of my very favorite on the egg
