22 lbs of Bird...Done to Perfection

SMITTYtheSMOKER

Thanks to many here for the advice on the cooking of 4 whole chickens on the large BGE. [p]Used Italian flavorings to juice-up the birds that cooked 1:45 at about 375-425 degrees.[p]

SMITTYtheSMOKER,[p]That looks really great. Could you elaborate on the seasoning please. Are there beer cans or vertical chicken roasters in there or are they holding each other up? Looks to be inverted plate setter.

SMITTYtheSMOKER,[p]too cute for words.[p]how'd they taste?

SMITTYtheSMOKER

JNK,[p]Yes on the inverted plate setter.[p]Used 16 oz cans filled with a mixure of Italian dressing and Pinot Grigio. Then added a twig of rosemary and lemon rine. Rub the birds down with a past made of garlic olive oil and an Italian seasoning from "TradeWinds" that contains rosemary, savory, sage and other aromatic spices. Gettin this rub up under the the skin onto the chicken breast was a key...so flavorful.[p]Capped the birds off with lemon quarters to plug the tops and let 'em go. I had to carefully position the birds to leave a seem for the egg thermometer to not punch a bird on it's way down. They cruised along at 350 for an hour and bumped them up to 425 for another 45 minutes and pulled them off when we reached a 169 on the breast meat. Wrapped in cooler and ate them about an hour later and moist and juicy as can be...and such flavor.[p]This was a party with about ten elderly women cooks who "know their business" if you get my drift, they were very impressed. With the raves coming in the masses at the table...not sure if they will be converted to Eggdom or if whether I will be invited back at all, could go either way with that tough crowd. LOL[p]
