C'est si bon, GOV...tres bien fait!

I hope the eatin' was as good as the picturin'.

Brining and upright (beer-can style) poultry cooking have both been controversial here on the forum. Unlike oven-roasting, where brining makes a clear difference, brining's effect in Egg cookery is less clear. Many folks who have tried it don't seem to think it's worth the bother. Similarly, just spatchcooking a chicken and cooking flat (preferably indirect, and using a raised grill) seems to make a lot of folks happy (myself included).

Nevertheless, your cook looks spectacular and if you and your diners enjoyed it, that's what counts!

Hey Dave,
I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see you're back.

Looks great! And there's one for each of us! Nice job.
